Wedding bells rang this weekend from[ Taco Bell](http://time.com/4764872/taco-bell-naked-chicken-chips/)‘s Las Vegas cantina location when a New York City couple became the first people to tie the knot at the fast food restaurant.

Dan Ryckert and Bianca Monda celebrated their nuptials at Taco Bell after winning [the Tex-Mex chain’s “Love and Tacos” contest for the ultimate Taco Bell wedding package](http://time.com/4670801/taco-bell-wedding-contest/), including airfare to Vegas, lodging, a catered dinner at the Taco Bell Cantina in Las Vegas, professional wedding photography and videography, and Taco Bell-themed wedding goodies. Dan and Bianca won the contest ([beating out a woman who resourcefully crafted a wedding gown completely made out of burrito wrappers](http://time.com/4688636/taco-bell-wedding-dress/)) by submitting a 30-second video about how Taco Bell fit into their love story.

The happy couple Snapchatted their experience for Taco Bell and even had a sauce packet bouquet, along with a feast made up of quesadillas, tacos, and burritos, as well as a Cinnabon cake. While the tacos might be gone now, the memories will last forever. See all the delicious photos from Dan and Bianca’s wedding below.
