## Caption

When couples get married in the state of Nevada, it often means an elopement at a drive‑thru chapel officiated by an Elvis impersonator.

On RAGBRAI 2026, riders had an opportunity to get hitched in the central Iowa town of the same name, though it's pronounced with a long A in the middle. It was part of the fun as Nevada, the official meeting town for Day 4 of the ride, leaned into its name, which predated the state's, with a Las Vegas theme.

Something Blue bridal shop, 516 K Ave., offered special services for new brides and grooms, couples who wanted to renew their vows and even a backdrop for popping the question.
