When Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce announced their engagement, the internet practically broke. Swifties and Chiefs Kingdom united in celebration, and the big question became: Where will the wedding be?

If the power couple says “I do” in Las Vegas, one legendary wedding venue is ready to celebrate in a huge way. Chapel of the Flowers, located on the iconic Las Vegas Strip, is giving away 87 free weddings or vow renewals to fans.

Why 87? It’s Kelce’s jersey number, of course — and the first 87 couples to register will receive a complimentary ceremony.

Here’s the fun twist

Taylor and Travis don’t even have to marry at Chapel of the Flowers. As long as they tie the knot anywhere in Las Vegas, the chapel will honor the giveaway.

“This isn’t about where they walk down the aisle,” says Donne Kerestic, CEO of Chapel of the Flowers. “It’s about celebrating their love story and giving something magical back to the fans who have been following them from stadiums to stage lights.”

So, whether you’re just starting your own Love Story or reliving your vows, Swifties and Chiefs fans alike can join in the celebration.

A legendary Vegas giveaway

“Taylor and Travis’ engagement has the whole world talking,” adds Kerestic. “If they choose Las Vegas, we’re ready to make it legendary — not just for them, but for dozens of fans who get to say ‘yes’ all over again.”

Couples can secure their spot now by visiting Chapel of the Flowers’ special offers page. The first 87 eligible lovebirds will be part of what could become one of the most unforgettable wedding giveaways in Vegas history.
