Our Vegas Elopement
What happens in Vegas... lasts forever.
On April 6th, Mike and Teresa took a “spontaneous” road trip from San Diego to Vegas to get hitched!
Surrounded by the bright lights and degenerate gamblers, they said their vows— just the two of them— at the most vibey little wedding chapel in Downtown Vegas (Shout out Sure Thing Too). The day was simple, unforgettable, and filled with so much love & joy. It was perfectly them: the Italian food (like their first date), live music (like their second date) late-night karaoke in their wedding attire, Mazzy Star on the Wurlitzer, wedding tattoos, so much smiling and laughter. It was wonderful that T's parents could join for the other parts of weekend--Dennis even made her bouquet!
💕💕💕
Our love story wouldn’t be complete without the opportunity to celebrate with our loved ones who mean the world to us. We are so excited to ring in the New Year and this new chapter of our lives with all of our favorite people!
Love, Mr. & Mrs. Shields
For all the days along the way
