No more Elvis-themed weddings in Las Vegas chapels

I seem to recall that Elvis wore a suit and tie in some of his movies. Not all his movies, and not all the time in the movies where he wore a suit and tie, but he did occasionally, as the role called for it.

So I’d suggest that a suit-and-tie Elvis wedding is just as much an Elvis wedding as any other. Congratulations, you had an Elvis wedding!

Since no one had the good (poor?) taste to link this yet, I will do so, because, well, no matter the results of the legal challenge, the truth of the following will always be with us!

Who has that kind of time? If I want a Vegas icon to officiate, I’m setting the date for 2026 so I can have a Howard Hughes wedding.

Do you want the suave young Howard Hughes, who looks like Tony Stark’s dad, or the old Howard Hughes, with long fingernails and no clothes?

A cousin and his girl friend are going to Las Vegas next month to tie the knot. I don’t know if they were planning an Elvis wedding. This will break the tie between him an me, we were tied at 3 marriages each. I do know one thing, I will never tie him at 4.

Where is “parody” in all of this? These weddings are pure kitsch.

Far more memorable.

The jars of saved piss kinda tend to cut the mood at a wedding.

Look for a Urintarian chapel.

Heck, when I read the OP, I immediately wondered if Col. Parker got resurrected and sued. It would have been the thing he’d have done.

The Turpins put the seal on it for me.

Whee!

Can’t they just change the advertising to “glittery rockabilly style” wedding? Kind of like how stores have “big game” specials around the time of the Superbowl.

You left the “(r) (c)™ All rights reserved by the NFL” off that special word. Expect to receive a nastygram from the NFL’s lawyers in the next 48 hours. :wink:

They would also have to stop using Elvis’s image, likeness, voice, appearance, mannerisms, etc. Anything that referenced his actual persona would be infringing.

Well, Elvis married Mad Dog:

James Mattis gets married — leaving behind his love, the Marine Corps

He’s about the last one I would expect to have an Elvis wedding.

Oooh-rah!

Now his bride can go shopping at the Commissary with the rest of the retiree dependents!
