The most romantic place on earth

I can say, completely without irony, that I want to get married at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas, Nevada. I stumbled upon this gem while writing our 2nd babe blogpost. (Spoiler: our 2nd babe was married here!) Let me share with you all a little bit about this magical place.

The Little White Wedding Chapel has five chapels in one compound. The Little White Wedding Chapel is the most well known, the one we see in movies, and the one that has been the marriage-place of many celebrities: Rita Hayworth and Dick Haymes, Micky Rooney and his first and third wives, Judy Garland, Michael Jordan, Frank Sinatra and Mia Farrow, and Gladys Knight's daughter!

There is also the Chapel of Promises, the Crystal Chapel, and the Chapel L'Amour (for when you want a bit more sophistication). But if I swung down to this place to get hitched, and the Little White was all booked up, I would get on my tandem bike and peddle to the Tunnel of Love Drive Thru.

Apparently the Drive-Thru is very popular with bikers and their friends.
This is going to be one fun honeymoon!


But wait. There's more.

You can order special packages to make your ceremony just perfect. You can get the Hawaiian wedding package and they will play Hawaiian music and give you and your groom leis and an Elvis impersonator. Hopefully they will keep true to style and Elvis will be young and hot, like in Blue Hawaii.

Wanna lei him.

There is also an Elvis package, where you get married in a pink cadillac and Elvis sings you love songs before and after the ceremony.

SWOON.


What is better than this! I know it's trashy and ridiculous, but isn't the institution of marriage a bit ridiculous anyway? Why not have fun with it!

Here is what I would wear. I can't narrow down the accessories.
