Las Vegas Drive Thru Wedding
So maybe getting married like this isn't for everyone. But our situation was fairly unique. With the Future Mrs. Dolan about to have our Future Son, in the not so far off future that was one good reason to get hitched. The other reason was I was possibly going to be working out of the country and it would make everything a lot easier if we all had the same last name. And the most important reason, our pure love for one another.

Here are some helpful links for getting married in Vegas...

Here is a picture of The Little White Chapel Tunnel of Love. It is located at 1301 Las Vegas Blvd., South Las Vegas, NV 89104 The toll free number is (800) 545-8111. If you look to the left in this picture you'll notice the "order menu". We had the $40 package which was the ceramony only. Little White Chapel has hosted weddings since 1954, and numerous celebrities have said their vows there, including Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra, Michael Jordan, and Bruce Willis and Demi Moore. (Mickey Rooney liked the chapel so much that he was married there twice.) On popular wedding occasions, such as Valentine's Day, the chapel may perform more than 500 ceremonies in a day. To cater to international tourists, the chapel's ministers perform weddings in five different languages.

Here is a picture of us just minutes from our souls uniting as one. The drive thru had the ceiling air brushed and it was beautiful

Here is a picture of of Celeste Dolan, Jonathan Dolan, and the Reverand Ron Porras. The ceramony lasted just over two minutes.

Our hands together, united... We went to a souvenir shop to get the rings as Celeste's hands were puffy from the pregnancy and I am a pretty plain guy when it comes to jewelry.

After waiting in line for some time we headed over to Subway across the street for some lunch. It took about an hour and a half waiting in line at the Clark County Courthouse to get the license. I'd recommend NOT going there between noon and 4pm as those are the peak hours there.
