So you drive up in your car,
truck or van, or appear riding your motorbike or bicycle. You could even ride a
horse (that might be considered pretty romantic...). Some creative couples
showed up to get wed on roller-blades; some were even sitting in their boat. If
you drive your vehicle, such wedding would cost you very little - as little as
$25 only for some wedding music and the ceremony (minister gratuity extra) - at
A Special Memory Wedding Chapel.
But if you flew in to Vegas and
don't have your own vehicle, you still can have your drive thru wedding; you
just have to rent it from the chapel or from anywhere else in the city. Most
popular vehicles? Stretched limousines, especially Hummer, classic cars, sports
cars and Harley motorbikes.
Now, if you asked me, I would
say getting married while sitting in a beat-up truck and listening to the
announcement that you're now a husband and wife is too close to buying a Big Mac
during the lunch time. There is nothing here that would excite me, impress me
with something special that I would cherish for years. Maybe it's novel, maybe
it's crazy and funny, but sorry - if this is the way you celebrate something as
big as starting new life together, so how do you expect to honor your vows in
the years to come?
Well, apparently I'm too
traditional because drive thru weddings and vow renewals are very popular in Las
Vegas. Those who experienced them, maintain that - contrary to what I feel - it
was a romantic and even more intimate experience that a regular wedding at a
church or chapel - because it was only two of them, very close to each other
(note: at least one witness is required by the Nevada state law and this is
provided for free by the chapels - if necessary).
There are at least 4 chapels in Las Vegas that offer drive thru weddings:
· A Special Memory Wedding
Chapel
· Little White Chapel Tunnel
of Vows
· Chapels of Love
· A Las Vegas Garden of Love
The idea of drive thru wedding
was born in 1991 when the staff at the Little White Chapel noticed that some
handicapped customers had difficulty getting out of their car and into the
chapel. The drive up window opened on Valentine's Day and it became such an
innovation that also non-handicapped people began asking to have a drive thru
wedding. Other chapels soon followed, but over the years it was necessary to
improve on the idea. The chapels tried to add some more glitter and excitement
to it, which helped to make drive thru weddings one of the more popular nuptials
on the Strip.
For example, Little White Chapel created the Tunnel of Vows that has a romantic
ceiling with starlights and cherubs. Adding Elvis The King is always popular and
it truly will make it memorable when Elvis will pick you up at your hotel and
then will drive you through the Strip down to the drive up window in his
neon-lit pink Cadillac. Elvis may sing a couple songs for you or even act as
your minister!
Having a drive thru wedding in a limo is another very popular add-on package,
with stretch Hummer and Lincoln Navigator topping the list of the most often
used limousines.
But if you really are a romantic person at heart and always wanted a princess
wedding in Vegas, but you love your chosen one so much and wanted to please him
and show him how much you love him that you agreed to marry him without the
presence of your mommy and daddy, in a car at which your now new hubby spent 3
full long years to tinker with, so you may show that your romantic soul by
releasing dozens or more of white doves or Monarch butterflies (offered at A
Special Memory Wedding Chapel).
Just make sure that you spend some extra money to buy the video and pictures
from the wedding so that you could show them to your parents and I'm sure when
they see the doves and the Monarchs, they will forgive you that you ran away to
Vegas on weekend without telling them. I'm sure it will help to convince them to
pay for a nice wedding reception back at home. They may even pay your next
year's car insurance on that boneshaker... Which would make your Las Vegas drive
thru wedding very successful and memorable.
