"We really didn't plan on getting married for another year or two," said 25-year-old Vincent Conn as he waited for his fiance, Sarah Pindur, outside the Graceland Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas, Nev., on Friday, Nov. 11, 2011. "We wanted to kind of plan things out better, but she was like, 'I really want that date'. And actually, when we planned it, we didn't know this but she was pregnant. So now, she's seven months pregnant."?
