Bam's Unholy Union is a TV series airing on MTV and MTV Canada. It stars Bam Margera and his fiancee Melissa "Missy" Rothstein and follows Bam and Missy as they plan their wedding (which occurred on February 3, 2007[1]). The show stars a limited number of the CKY Crew. Some of the CKY Crew members that have appeared are Brandon DiCamillo, Brandon Novak, Rake Yohn, Ryan "Shitgoose" Gee and Bam's brother Jess. Ryan Dunn said he'll appear in two or three episodes of the show. Most of the members of the band CKY stated that they will make a few appearances on the show.[2] The show is filmed at various locations in and around West Chester, Pennsylvania, including Delaware. Bam's parents, April and Phil Margera, also appear in the show. Bam's uncle Don Vito does not make regular appearances due to MTV's concerns about his legal problems, stemming from charges in Colorado in August 2006.[3]
According to recent interviews based on the show, Unholy Union will run 9 episodes,[3] Bam has mentioned that MTV has approached him about a second season.[4]
The DVD for the show will come out June 12, 2007.[5]

Novak wants to be best man for the wedding, but Bam's brother, Jess Margera, is already fulfilling that role. Bam tells Novak that in order to become best man he must complete 5 tasks. Some of the tasks include shaving and bleaching his hair, getting punched in both eyes (must get a black eye), and getting into a raccoon outfit to become the first human raccoon.[11][12] Novak broke both his feet the day before the wedding, skating on a new ramp in Bam's backyard with Tony Hawk. |

| April Margera | April Margera (born March 28, 1956 in Glen Mills, Pennsylvania, United States) is Bam's mother. She is not happy Novak was in the wedding party due to his checkered past with drugs and crime. | |

Phil Margera | Philip Ron Margera (born July 13, 1957 in Concordville, Pennsylvania, United States) is Bam's father. He is laid back and is used to Bam and the crew's way of doing things. For example, during interviews for the show's website, April asks, "What's wrong with our son?" and Phil replies, "There's something wrong with our son?" |
Trivia
- Wedding designer Mark Ingram appears in an episode. Ingram is most notably known for his bridal shop in New York City.
- Kooma and the Birds & Bees have also appeared on Viva La Bam. DiCamillo once had a job at Kooma, handing out flyers in a fish suit and carrying a rickshaw (Season 4, Episode 3). Don Vito has also been at the Birds & Bees for the Scavenger Hunt (Season 1, Episode 8) and in the CKY Gets Jobs episode (Season 4, Episode 3). Other places that have been seen in Viva La Bam are April and Phil's house and the Tree-Top Casino.
- A few references allude to Viva La Bam. One reference included Bam saying "Why should the township be pissed off when I make kids happy everyday". This was a reference to the township kicking Bam (along with the CKY crew, plus April and Phil) out of the township (Season 1, Episode 8), because of all the violations he broke and his behavior.
- The show's main title theme is a snippet of "Don't Give a Damn," by Vains of Jenna, a band currently signed to Margera's Filthy Note Records.
- In Episode Seven, Bam and Dico took Jess's Tetris machine. Jess said that it was actually Dico's. He said the dust was from the basement because he's finishing it up.[13]
