You Can't Have a Shotgun Wedding in Australia But I Do Drive Thru is the Ultimate Vegas-Style Alternative!

If you like the idea of an easy and stress-free shotgun wedding or getting married in Vegas; you might have been surprised to hear about Australia's requirement to give one month’s notice before the big day!

But don’t worry, a quick simple Vegas style wedding is not off the cards! I Do Drive Thru is the perfect alternative for you. It’s fast, fabulous, and hassle-free and even better, I Do Drive Thru offers simple and affordable Vegas-style elopement experiences across Australia!

So Why the One-Month Notice Period You Ask? According to The Marriage Act in Australia couples planning to tie the knot must sign and submit a "Notice of Intended Marriage" (NOIM) to a celebrant a minimum of a month before the wedding date. This document serves as proof of consent of both people involved and the waiting period acts as a way to ensure that both people have really thought through their decision and it is not a hasty quick decision. While this might mean waving goodbye to the idea of a shotgun or Vegas-style wedding in some ways, I Do Drive Thru really do make sure that working with us is just as easy, fast and straightforward for you. No fuss, no confusion, no extra steps; just the key requirements and the two of you!
