I Was Married at A Drive-Thru Window in Las Vegas

A short scene from my upcoming Memoir: “Fries With That?”

CHAPTER 5: “Fries with That?”

MY MEMORY IS A BIT FOGGY about the day of my wedding 27 yrs ago, but I recall we drove up to the drive-thru window at the Little Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas. Rick and I were young and totally in love. (Well, we weren’t young perse, and I’m not sure it was love.)

He was super affectionate that day I recall; kissing me, whispering in my ear, flattering me, telling me how I was ‘the best woman in the world’ on the drive there.

I guess I fell for it. DUMB ME!

On the outside of the Chapel the sign read: JOAN COLLINS AND MICHAEL JORDAN GOT MARRIED HERE! OOOO. That might be a telling sign since both are divorced now.

The minister lady poked her head out of the window and looked into our car with a Cheshire grin. It felt a bit like ordering a McDonald’s burger. She had a cassette player, ghetto blaster thingy, with some romantic instrumental Yanni bad sappy music on it.

“Are you two all ready to tie the knot?”

Rick looked at me then at her with a grin. “Yes maaaaaaam. I want this woman to be my wife. She’s the PERFECT WOMAN for meee!!’ He always had a way with words.

She happily rattled off the vows.“You are now man and wife!”

Hey, do we get fries with that? I thought…

Then it was over.

DONE! I was Mrs. Rick Kugelmann.

While driving away turning down the Vegas strip Rick said “I’m the happiest man in the world’.

I thought… ‘OMG! What have I just done? I’m the most miserable woman in the world.’

I had no idea what a bad idea this was.
