Calling all wrestling fans ready to say “I do” with a suplex and some pyro—Las Vegas has the wedding package you never knew you needed.

With WrestleMania 41 hitting Sin City next month, the iconic Viva Las Vegas Wedding Chapel is getting in on the action with its newest gimmick: a wrestling-themed wedding experience called “Love SmackDown.” This wild new package promises to let fans tie the knot in true squared-circle fashion—with a pro wrestling–themed officiant presiding over the ceremony.

And don’t worry if you’d rather have your vows served by a king of rock and roll or a web-slinging superhero. The chapel already offers a long list of themed weddings, including ceremonies officiated by Elvis, the Blues Brothers, and even Spider-Man. But now, they’re stepping through the ropes to cater to the WrestleMania crowd.

Pro wrestling and weddings go way back—just ask anyone who remembers the chaos of wrestling’s infamous wedding segments. There’s Triple H crashing Stephanie McMahon’s Las Vegas drive-thru wedding while she was “passed out,” or the time Macho Man Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth had their “Match Made in Heaven” at SummerSlam 1991. Who could forget the awkward trainwreck of Al Wilson marrying Dawn Marie in their underwear?

And let’s be honest—most wrestling weddings don’t exactly end with “happily ever after.” More often, they involve someone getting hit with a cake or a steel chair. But here’s hoping the Viva Las Vegas Wedding Chapel has better luck than the average WWE nuptial.

So if you’re headed to WrestleMania 41 and want to make it a weekend to remember, why not throw on some tights and say your vows with a bodyslam?

Would you say “yes” to a wrestling-themed wedding? Or is this a storyline best left in the ring? Drop your thoughts in the comments and tell us who your ideal wrestling officiant would be!
