Corvette Weddings Happen Here!

The Museum is the perfect place for a “Corvette” style wedding and this week was another chance to see two enthusiasts share a special moment and vows.  

BJ Jones and Randy Conklin exchanged wedding vows in the Museum’s Skydome performed by Doc Kaelin, our local Justice of the Peace and accompanied by friends George and Ron Rutherford standing in as witnesses to the event. George and Ron also shared a special day of their own at the Museum as part of the NCM Xperience Program and received a VIP tour of the Plant and Museum and their car showcased on display for the day. We have the privilege in sharing so many memorable moments with friends and supporters. Thanks for allowing us the chance to experience so much with you! Interested in exchanging wedding vows at the Museum or planning a Corvette Club visit for a day or weekend – find out more online at: http://www.corvettemuseum.com/clubs/ or by calling us at: (800) 53-VETTE.
