I recently got married to my best friend and now husband after 13 years of knowing each other. We decided instead of doing things at home here in Michigan, we instead wanted to take our special day to Las Vegas.

When your wedding day rolls around, you have a ton of choices you have to make in order to ensure that your special day is as unique and special to you as possible. So when we were making choices on venue, colors, and ideas, we wanted to find something that represented us and our journey perfectly.

We originally met at a concert in Austin, Texas, so we knew that had to be a part of our journey. Plus, we spend at least one night at week at the Intersection here in Grand Rapids, so clearly that's a big part of our theme, too.

We also wanted to sprinkle in a little bit of Michigan flare so we found a venue that perfectly fits all of our needs- this KISS-themed chapel in Vegas.

The Love it Loud Chapel is a fun, unique wedding chapel that sits above the KISS mini-golf experience inside the Rio Casino and Hotel in Las Vegas

And while we only had a generic "sinister minister", you can be married by full-sized (and mini) members of KISS. Yes, it is as wild as you can imagine it would be.

It was fun, they let us pick our music, and the small KISS touches are enough to make any fan of the band happy, without ruining the romantic nature of getting married if you're not exactly a huge fan of the band.

And if you don't plan ahead and have a dress, don't panic, they have an entire changing area and dresses you can use. So don't let a whim keep you from booking a wedding!

I had a blast, and it was great to have a little flavor of our home state on our wedding day in Las Vegas. Check out their website if you want to copy us.
