In Nevada, you need two witnesses. If you didn’t bring anyone—because you told your mom it was a “business trip”—don’t panic. The chapel will rent you witnesses. They’re usually retired locals or confused tourists who stepped in for free cake. I swear, one witness I saw was a guy in a Batman costume who just wandered off after the kiss. It adds character.
Alternatively, you can ask the person next to you in line for coffee. They’ll probably say yes, because you’re radiating the desperate joy of someone who just maxed out a credit card for a honeymoon suite. That’s romance, baby.

What About the Dress and Tux?
Listen, you can wear anything. Anything. I’ve seen a bride in a full biker leather jacket and a groom in swim trunks. But if you want to feel official, there are shops on every corner that rent you a tux for the ceremony and return it before the hangover kicks in. One friend wore a rented tux that had a mysterious stain on the sleeve—he called it “rustic charm.”
Pro tip: If you buy a dress, bring a steamer. The dry desert air will make your dress look like a crumpled napkin. You don’t want to look like you just survived a car wash on your big day.
