You can now get married, and have your fourth meal, at Taco Bell
If your dream wedding involves a beautiful white dress, your family and friends watching you exchange vows and a post nuptial meal of gorditas and Doritos locos tacos, what a time it is to be alive.
Since 12:00 a.m. this morning, lovers have been entering the Love and Tacos Contest and Happily Ever Crashers Sweepstakes to win an all-expense paid trip to Las Vegas and be the first couple to get married at the Las Vegas Cantina flagship restaurant.
By telling their love story through a short video, the lucky couple could win the cheesy (pun intended) wedding of a lifetime. The contest runs through Feb. 26.
Though fans have been bringing Taco Bell to the wedding for some time, this is the first time the wedding is being officially brought to Taco Bell.
Marisa Thalberg, Chief Marketing Officer at Taco Bell Corp. says, “Now, through our new flagship restaurant on the Las Vegas Strip, couples can come right in and order a wedding off of our menu."
That's right, if you don't win this queso-studded affair, you'll still be able to celebrate your nuptials at this flagship 'Bell because starting summer 2017, it's a wedding free-for-all.
The $600 package will include:
• A ceremony in the chapel inside the restaurant with an ordained officiant within as little as four hours
• Private area for a reception inside the restaurant with up to 15 of your closest family and friends
• Custom merchandise, including a sauce packet garter and bow tie, “Just Married” T-shirts for the bride and groom, Taco Bell branded champagne flutes and, of course, a Taco 12 Pack filled with tacos and a Cinnabon Delights cake for dessert
• A Sauce Packet bouquet is also available for the bride to use during the ceremony
It sure beats the hell out of that dry chicken breast and the platter of crudites you had at that last wedding you went to, right?
