Where to begin?
My hubby and I were going to get married on 11/11/11, but after trying to plan it and not being able to find a venue, we decided to just elope on Valentine's day and be the first couple in Vegas married on that legendary wedding day.
My husband's birth mom was getting married at this chapel in a few months and referred us, and while they were very accomidating in coming in at 11pm and staying til' 1am, I was disappointed with a few things.
First, the chapel is quite lovely. we looked at other chapels all day before the wedding and they made me want to take a rape shower with a brillo pad afterwards. Belleza has a lovely and clean chapel and dressing room.
I knew we werent allowed to take photos or video, that was fine. My issue was with the photos they took. I am heavy set and asked the photographer to please shoot me at certain angles and be minful of my weight and face angles. he assured me he would, however he had an absessed tooth that night and the camera was often crooked.
i asked for a civil service, nothing religious. the minister was pissed. I asked for vows that were "short and sweet and void of any religeous wording." he said I could have short or sweet, not both. without the mention of god I apparently left him with nothing to say.
after it was all done, MY ENTIRE party and guests are pulled in a room to look at my pics. I was appalled and cried. i looked so bloated and he didnt listen to a damned thing i said. i cried and cried and asked them to be taken off the screen so i could try to choose my photos, in private later.
the next day Kay said she felt really bad so she was going to "cut me a deal" on the photos so that I could take them all to get retouched. I paid the extra money and walked away...
Months later my husband's mother tells me that Kay slipped her a copy of my wedding photos for FREE on her wedding day and that I wasnt supposed to know. I FLIPPED out. I HATED those photos and was so pissed. I asked for a refund on the extra $300 had to pay for shitty pics and an appology and got neither.
NEVER GO HERE!!!!!! go to a casino chapel...
