Shayne Lamas married Nik Richie? Huh?

Shayne Lamas -- former "Bachelor" winner and Lorenzo Lamas' daughter -- reportedly got married over the weekend to a guy she'd known for less than 24 hours.

The lucky(?) man: Nik Richie, who runs TheDirty.com.

Of course, it all happened in Las Vegas, where sources say the couple opted for a $519 "Michael Jordan Package" at the Little White Wedding Chapel.

Ah, the Vegas wedding.

It brings to mind all sorts of images of Britney Spears, impersonal life milestones and, of course, divorce lawyers.

So why can't I stop romanticizing the idea of Vegas nuptials?

Not so much the "meet somebody and make a lifelong commitment 24 hours later" part -- but the idea of not having to deal with feuding bridesmaids or food you'll probably be too nervous to enjoy.

I also like the idea of getting married while wearing something neon pink. Sorry, Mom.

Yes, the Vegas setup reeks of informality. But it's a gamble I just can't ignore.

I'm too cheap for the Michael Jordan Package, though.
