| - My BFF just got married here, and I have to say - it was seriously the wedding of my dreams! Urm...her dreams. No...of my dreams!
You see, I always wanted to get married in Vegas by Elvis. Alas, my mother had other plans. As did my dad. As did my husband. And his parents. To them, a wedding had to be...wedding like. Which is totally ridiculous if you look at the history of wedding traditions. But that's another rant for another day.
So when my BFF got engaged and announced that her wedding would be in Vegas, married by Elvis, on the Day of the Dead...I knew that 1) this is why she is my BFF and 2) that this would be the wedding of my dreams.
And it was.
To start with - if you get the wedding package, they come and pick you up in a limo. Which doesn't seem like a big deal, until you've had to navigate through Vegas traffic...or worse...Vegas taxis. Trust, this is a bonus and well worth the price.
Secondly, once we got there, the people were just so amazingly friendly and nice! They quickly wisked us away walked my BFF and her husband what would happen, told the best man and I (the maid of honor) where to stand and what to expect...and then BAM! The most hilariously awesome wedding ceremony EVER happens!
Third best part? It was all on webcam, so friends and family that couldn't make it, could watch and celebrate with us...even if they were 3000 miles away. YAY!
No, it's not your traditional pastor in a white chapboard church...but hey, if that's what you wanted - you wouldn't have held the wedding in Vegas, now would you???
For my husband and I's 5th anniversary, we're SO coming back here to get our vows renewed. Cause, as far as I'm concerned, unless I've been pronounced "husband and wife" by an Elvis impersonator...the vows aren't binding. Heh.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! AWESOME!
