    Hey Jessica! I'm afraid I need some clarification on what you mean!

    Your stepdad wants to surprise your mom with a wedding for them while they are in Vegas, is that what you mean? Smiley love

    I haven't experienced it yet, but my fiancé and I are getting married July 5th in Vegas. Just the two of us. So, I have looked into a ton of options! We chose a simpler route, hired a well known minister with highly recommended reviews - Roland August, "the mobile minister" (lol), & a photographer. We are meeting him on the Vegas strip, doing a short ceremony followed by 2 hours of photos. While doing my research, I noticed Chapel of Flowers seems to have amazing packages to fit any want/need and tons of good reviews! There are so many options in Vegas, you can get married on the High roller observation wheel, any location of your choice. They even have drive-thru weddings. Anything is possible there.

    Are they already legally married? If not, I recommend going online and applying for the marriage license in advance. That way when you show up to the court house they have all of your information ready, they'll go through sort of an "express lane" and be issued the license.

    Oh you can pre-apply? I'll look into that, how long was your wait once you got there?

    Yes. I applied online. Once I got there I gave them our names, showed our IDs and we were in and out in under 5 minutes!
