Giant Swedish Drive-In Wedding
One city is going gaga for drive through weddings and no, it's not Kentwood, LA (home of both Britney and Jamie Lynn Spears). The sexy Swedes will host a car rally in the rural town of Vasteras during which a team of 10 priests from the Church of Sweden will perform marriage ceremonies along a motorcade of classic autos from the 1950s and 1960s.
"This is not just for fun, but also a way for the Church of Sweden to show we can take part in celebration and happiness and not just in crisis and catastrophes," says Jerker Asterlund, the event's organizer and a Church of Sweden priest.
And don't think those clever Swedes will be ignoring the obvious Vegas connection. The event will include a full gospel choir and, you guessed it, an Elvis impersonator.
If you'd like to be a guest at the event, all 36 couples are registered at Ikea. Just kidding!
