No more Elvis-themed weddings in Las Vegas chapels

[LSLGuy]

I lived in Las Vegas for 10 years. Got married while living there, but the wedding was not in Vegas and had no Elvii.

However I did attend a different wedding in Las Vegas as explained in this post of mine from last year:

Many years earlier while living in Las Vegas I had a different receptionist. Who was no rocket scientist but was down-to-earth and sweet as all get out. Her BF owned a small electrician service and moonlighted as an Elvis impersonator. They got married in a Vegas wedding chapel with him in his Elvis gear and her in a snazzy white dress despite her prior marriage and two kids in elementary school. My whole office attended and it was a real tearjerker - He sang Love Me Tender while playing his guitar during his walk up the aisle. That joint would marry you for $50. We held a reception back at the office on my nickel.

They’re still married ~30 years later. Though the chapel went out of business 10ish years ago. I walked by where it had been last weekend. When your marriage outlasts your wedding “church” you know you’re doing something right.
