Has anyone ever gotten married in Vegas?
SO and I are trying to think of ideas for our wedding. Neither of us are inviting family or Skids.
I wanted the court house but SO said it's not romantic enough. So I was thinking Vegas. I'm not going to have a fancy wedding with just the two of us and he wants more than the court house.
If you did get married in Vegas, here's my questions. The website I was on said you had to have two non-related people as witnesses. Will the quickie wedding chapels provide that? I was planning on it just being us.

I have no idea about Vegas,
I have no idea about Vegas, but my vote is you go to an all inclusive resort if you can afford it! Get married and have your honeymoon all at the same time

I recommend Costa Rica. We did that so we had only us and the kids. Was nice and cheap and we had one hell of a vacation. I think Vegas is too cheesy...
I'm sure someone at the
I'm sure someone at the chapel will fill in as your witnesses.
I remember these pictures!
I remember these pictures! Derf looking all Amish Mafiaish and BM with her ugly knitted shawl thing. LMAO

I thought about a cruise wedding or something outdoors. We do live in Florida but BM and SO were married on the beach and I'm not doing that.
Most chapels in Vegas have
Most chapels in Vegas have witnesses you can use. I'm pretty sure all the chapels have them, they are just employees that are present during your vows and sign off as witnesses.
I got married in Vegas about 22 years ago, completely unplanned. My ex and I were there on a weekend getaway, just the two of us. We were walking around, walked by a chapel and said hey lets do it. He is my Ex now but Vegas had nothing to do with that, we were married 16 years and have 4 great kids. I too would've been fine with a courthouse marriage, but I've never had any regrets about doing a Vegas wedding and definitely have no regrets about not having the big bash wedding spending thousands on. We had fun and I'm glad we did it, even though I'm glad we're now divorced LOL.
Do what you both are comfortable with and agree on.
Someone on here who is in the
Someone on here who is in the FB group got married in Vegas. She posted pics on FB... they were actually classy and really cute (I thought) I can't remember who it was though and I'm terrible with names.
Some friends of ours are getting married in Vegas this fall and invited DH and I but DH wants absolutely positively NO part of that. lol He is kind of a hermit and would absolutely flip out in a place like Vegas. I think Vegas is one of those either you love it or you hate it places.

Daizy, I think it was me, unless someone else did it too. I posted a pic - I was wearing a blue dress.

I did my first marriage in Vegas. Should have never married him but that's another story. Vegas is fun.. especially if you've never been there.
Neither of us have ever been.
Neither of us have ever been. I kinda like the idea of doing something together that's a first for both of us.
I'm currently planning to
I'm currently planning to have my wedding in Vegas. I have read that certain chapels provide witness if needed. Many people elope there. I decided on the Vegas wedding because it is easy.
I actually told SO I wish we
I actually told SO I wish we had one of our grandmothers rings. It would be sweet. Guess it depends on the marriage.
We got married in Vegas at
We got married in Vegas at Caesar's. It was really quite nice in a gazebo in one of their gardens. I can't tell you whether or not they provide witnesses, as we brought our own, but, surprisingly, the location of the ceremony was lovely and private. I would recommend it to others.
I got married there 9 years
I got married there 9 years ago. And it wasn't a tacky "Vegas Wedding" either. We were married in front of the tropical waterfall at the Flamingo. In the wedding package they provided the flowers (of my choosing), music (of my choosing) and where on the grounds (inside, outdoors). I also got to choose the time (sunset). Oh, and they also provided the minister (or JP if that's what you choose) and the photographer, who was really good!
DH and I went alone, just the two of us. When we arrived at the wedding chapel to do the paperwork before the ceremony, the organizer "went looking for a couple witnesses" to sign our marriage certificate. Little did we know that hidden away in a back office was DH's mom and dad. So super special, they were our witnesses and it was a complete surprise to us that they were there!
I think you can do whatever type of ceremony you want, there are obviously a gazillion places in the city to get married. The day after we got married, there was a HUGE ceremony on the grounds that was uber-formal.
You can go on about any resort website there and they will have information on wedding ceremony packages. Most of them also include the room for a certain # of nights. If you want more information, PM me.
We got married in Vegas.
We got married in Vegas. Elvis performed the ceremony. It was so quick and easy - no planning and no headache. I'm glad we did it that way. If I could change anything, I would omit Elvis and do something a little classier.
Not just because I live here,
Not just because I live here, but Hawaii is a great place to get married (you know usually but not right now where it's 59 degrees and raining for the last three damn weeks!!).
You can get married on the beach. There are a ton of resorts here that will help you out.
Why not a national park? If
Why not a national park? If you're willing to go as far as Las Vegas the Grand Canyon, Arches, Zion, and Bryce Canyon are just south of there for the Grand Canyon and Utah for the rest. Hire a local officiant who will undoubtedly be able to supply some witnesses for prolly an extra charge. Or get a couple of park rangers! The scenery will be stunning and unforgettable. When the ceremony is over you can hike a bit, go in for an excellent meal at some of the venues, or just retire to your honeymoon suite. Mozel tov!
