This couple recently eloped to Las Vegas

I’ve never really been a ‘wedding’ kind of girl.

I told my partner (Campbell Kerr) this years ago and said I would only marry him if it was in Las Vegas.

So, getting married was a fair way from my mind when we eventually started planning a family holiday to the United States of America (which would include ‘Vegas’).

I thought Campbell had forgotten; after all, we’d been together for 14 years and shared two children.

Then, one afternoon while I was filling the car at the bowser, Campbell suddenly jumped out of the car, took my hand and said some really sweet things to me.

He dropped down on one knee — right there, at the bowser — and proposed to me.

Of course I said yes and, suddenly, I was a fiancée and we were eloping.

I wanted a wedding that was a little different and not too traditional, so we booked the Little White Chapel in Vegas for July 4.

The venue would supply the flowers, photos and videos and, of course, a limo.

Upon our arrival, we arranged our marriage licence before heading off to the famous Las Vegas Gold & Silver Pawn Shop (as seen on Pawn

Stars) for our rings.

We then took a road trip to the Grand Canyon and returned to Vegas shortly before our scheduled wedding time, missing out on accommodation at the MGM Grand (seeing as this is a busy time on the American social calendar).

‘Plan B’, then.

We took our gear out of the hire car and got ready in public toilets — I splashed a bit of water on my hair and put on some make–up before the limo took us to the venue.

In our haste, we forgot the rings and wedding licence, so back we went to the MGM Grand car park to get them.

I eventually walked down the isle in my little black dress and married the man of my dreams.

The ceremony was all over in about five minutes, but it was perfect.

Afterwards, we had food court fried chicken and New York-style pizza as our wedding dinner.

It wasn’t a traditional wedding by any means, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
