Love Me Tender: Why an Elvis Wedding?
Las Vegas and Elvis Presley go together like peanut butter and banana (trust me, it's a metaphor for love, not a culinary recommendation). Elvis weddings offer a unique blend of kitsch, fun, and a touch of rebellion – perfect for couples who want their special day to be anything but ordinary.
Plus, let's be honest: who wouldn't want The King himself officiating your nuptials? Imagine Elvis serenading you with "Love Me Tender" while you exchange vows. Talk about a memory that'll last a lifetime (or at least until your next visit to Vegas for a vow renewal ceremony with another Elvis impersonator – hey, no judgment here!)
Suspicious Minds: Planning Your Elvis Extravaganza
Here's the nitty-gritty: getting married by Elvis in Vegas is surprisingly easy. Most chapels on the Strip (and there are more chapels than casinos, that's a fact) offer Elvis wedding packages. These packages typically include:
Tip: Reread the opening if you feel lost.
- The Elvis Experience: A charismatic Elvis impersonator will officiate your ceremony, complete with the iconic jumpsuit and a sprinkle of that undeniable Elvis swagger.
- Can't Help Falling in Love with the Venue: Chapels offer a variety of settings, from classic elegance to kitschy heart-shaped archways.
- A Little Less Conversation, a Little More Action: Many packages include photography, flowers, and even a limousine ride to get you to the chapel in style (because Elvis wouldn't be caught dead in a taxi).
Pro Tip: Shop around! Prices vary depending on the package and the chapel's location.
Walk Like a Pharaoh (Down the Aisle): What You Need to Do
Here's the not-so-suspicious part:
- Get a Marriage License: This is a must-have, even for the most rockin' of ceremonies. You can obtain one at the Clark County Marriage License Bureau before your big day.
- Book Your Chapel and Package: Decide what kind of Elvis experience you crave (budget-friendly or full-blown extravaganza) and book your chosen chapel.
- Shake, Rattle, and Roll with the Details: Discuss any special requests with the chapel, like Elvis singing your favorite song or incorporating your own vows.
- Don't Be Cruel – Bring Your ID: You'll need valid ID for the marriage license and, well, to prove you're old enough for Elvis to legally marry you (wink wink).
