Weddings are typically held at churches, city halls and scenic outdoor spaces but, now marriage can now be held in a wonderful new venue: Taco Bell.

One happy couple, Dan Ryckert and Bianca Monda, decided to hold their big day at a Taco Bell in Las Vegas, and it was way more beautiful than you’d think.

“Over the weekend, I married my best friend while surrounded by people that I love. I’ve never been happier,” Dan shared on Twitter along with some photos from the ceremony.
The couple heard about a Taco Bell contest to hold their nuptials at the Doritos Loco Tacos innovators’ new Vegas wedding chapel. The two, who wanted a non-traditional wedding ceremony, decided to go for it.
“As soon as they announced the contest a ton of people contacted me,” Dan told Today. “It sounded perfect, but I also thought Bianca might not be up for getting married at a Taco Bell — so I sent it to her as a joke.”

After winning the prize, the two had to break the news to their families that instead of a sunlit ceremony in a field or an intimate affair in a chapel, they’d be sharing vows inside a venue with Mountain Dew Baja Blast on tap.
“I sat down with her parents ahead of time and they actually thought it would be a really unique opportunity,” Dan said. “They were supportive and gave their blessing.”
So, as the photos show, the couple had a glorious ceremony complete with a hot sauce bouquet and corsage and a Baja Blast Freeze toast. Despite the wackiness, it was still the couple’s big say, so it was an emotional experience nonetheless.
“We had known for a long time that we were going to do this silly Taco Bell wedding,” Dan said. “But when I saw her walking down the aisle with her father — even in spite of the silly circumstances surrounding it — it was so easy to singularly focus on this genuinely important life event.”
