I Eloped In Las Vegas During The Pandemic
It felt like an apocalyptic wedding
In many ways, it all felt like getting married in the apocalypse. The chapel itself has bars on the windows. All the chapels in that neighborhood do. They’ve attempted to make them decorative – they are “bars” shaped like beautiful vines and painted white, but, bullet-proof bars nonetheless. Before even entering the building, we needed to walk up to a woman behind a bullet-proof window who checked our names and IDs. Then somebody unlocked the door for us, and re-locked it behind us. It almost felt like we were doing something illegal by getting hitched.
