A couple from Missouri will have a Las Vegas wedding story to retell over many anniversaries. They got their license at the same time and place as celebrities Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck.<\/p>\n

They also got married in a ceremony at the same wedding chapel as the famous pair — just hours apart. It was A Little White Wedding Chapel<\/a>, located in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s definitely a story we\u2019ll be telling neighbors, kids — anybody who will listen,\u201d <\/strong>Brennon Calvin, the groom, told KVVU<\/em>, a local TV station. \u201cIf I would have taken one left turn differently, it never would have happened, so it was, like, fate.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The couple from St. Joseph, Mo., said it all began at about 11 pm on Saturday when they arrived at the Clark County Marriage Licensing Bureau.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe pull up, and there\u2019s a limo — like there\u2019s a really nice car outside,\u201d Brittany Calvin, the bride, revealed to KVVU<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Las Vegas destination wedding ceremonies<\/a> are a significant part of the state\u2019s tourism sector. The entire wedding industry produces $2 billion a year.\u00a0Clark County issued its five-millionth<\/a> wedding license in February.<\/p>\n

Celebrity Encounter<\/h2>\n

The Calvins were one of four couples there. They soon spotted Lopez and Affleck.<\/p>\n

They were right to the left of us,\u201d <\/strong>Brittany Calvin recalled. \u201cWe were signing our marriage papers at the same time.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cThey were being super discreet… She had her head tucked like this the whole time with his arm,\u201d Brennon Calvin added. \u201cI don\u2019t think she showed her face once, honestly.\u201d<\/p>\n

J-Lo was in a long white dress. Affleck was wearing white pants and a blue jacket, Brittany Calvin recollected.<\/p>\n

When the Calvins were leaving the office, they kidded each other. \u201cWouldn\u2019t it be funny if they went to our chapel too? And they sure did,\u201d Brennon Calvin said.<\/p>\n

The Calvins went to the chapel later on Sunday. J. Lo and Affleck went early Sunday morning, right after getting the license.<\/p>\n

An Experience to Remember<\/h2>\n

Later, the Calvins sat in the same pink Cadillac convertible at the chapel as J. Lo and Affleck had been in hours before.<\/p>\n

Looking back, both of the Calvins recommend a Las Vegas wedding.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re not married, go to Vegas. It was fun. It was a lot of fun,\u201d Brennon Calvin said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
