Weddings are beautiful occasions that take months, even years of planning. It can be a stressful situation so it’s no wonder that many couples choose to elope to Las Vegas or Gretna Green. But what happens when you combine booze, sex, and the Elvis wedding chapel?
Sometimes, weddings are a bit more accidental than planned, but hey, the path to true love was never a smooth one. Here are eight romances with an accidental marriage at their heart. Tequila shots are optional.

His 24-Hour Wife

The Marriage Bargain
Alexa Maria McKenzie is a bookstore owner who will do anything to save her beloved family home. On a whim, she casts a love spell, but she never expected it to work, much less to conjure up her best friend’s older brother—the powerful man who once broke her heart.
Billionaire Nicholas Ryan doesn’t believe in marriage, but in order to inherit his father’s corporation, he needs a wife. His sister’s childhood friend is in dire straits, so why not hit two birds with one stone? It's a marriage in name only, just a way for them both to solve their problems. At least, that's what he tells himself.
Roomies
Calvin McLoughlin dreams of performing on Broadway, but until then, he sings for commuters on the New York City subway. Holland Bakker loves to listen to this captivating singer, and when he helps to save her from a drunken attacker, she repays him by getting Calvin an audition with her uncle, Broadway’s hottest musical director. When the try-out goes better than even Holland could have imagined, Calvin is set for a great entry into Broadway.
The problem? He’s in the country illegally, his student visa having expired years ago. Seeing that her uncle needs Calvin as much as Calvin needs him, there seems to be only one solution: a quick marriage of convenience. In the midst of these theatrics to keep immigration services off their back, Holland and Calvin soon realize that their fake feelings are becoming all too real.
What Happens in Scotland

Running From A Rock Star

She's the last person anyone would expect to wake up naked and hung over in bed with a bad-boy rock star, and to make things worse, this hot stranger is apparently now her husband.

Could this marriage be for real?
Ties That Bind
