Elvis Pink Cadillac Elopement | Little White Chapel
Life has a funny way of bringing you back to who you’re meant to be with. Melissa and Randy have one of those whirlwind love stories that’s almost too good to believe.
Melissa and Randy first started dating 25 years before they got married. They had that classic “will they, won’t they” love story for so long before drifting apart, marrying other people, and starting families before realizing there was only one person they each wanted to be with.
Fifteen years after their first date, they finally figured it out and decided to blend their families together. Fast forward ten years from that, and Melissa had a secret plan in place.
These two had decided it was finally time to get married, so in January of 2022, Melissa contacted me saying that she was planning on surprising Randy with an elopement during their already-planned trip to Vegas. Melissa had never even been on a plane before, so she was doubly excited to head to Las Vegas. On Valentine’s Day, she told Randy that instead of only celebrating his 50th birthday in Las Vegas, she had also made arrangements for them to get married at the world famous Little White Chapel, by none other than Elvis himself!
We met at the chapel where they checked in and prepared for their ceremony. Just before Elvis walked Melissa to the pink Cadillac, Randy had a surprise of his own for her. Without her knowing, he had upgraded her ring to one she had been eyeing for a long time! I think her reaction says it all. As these two said their vows and promised to spend eternity together, they had attracted a crowd of people watching them! We celebrated and cheered, and before we knew it, it was time for their amazing portraits along Fremont Street and out in the Las Vegas desert!
We danced in front of the mountains and they experienced their perfect first sunset as husband and wife! They jetted off to dinner after (shout out to Fogo de Chao), and spent their night basking in finally being married!
