I got married in Vegas Nov 25th last year.
We got married at the little chapel of love. We didn't want something big, just cheap. It was her second, my first. We invited everyone we knew, not expecting anyone to come. My wife had a "Big Wedding" the first time, and her parents bowed out of this one, and we didn't want to go into debt, or use savings for a wedding now.
Turns out almost all my family and a bunch of friends came.
The place was okay. Our package included them picking us up at the hotel in a limo, and driving us to the place, and driving us back. It took prolly 1 hour total, with the cerimony taking perhaps 10 minutes. We had a little older lady playing some wedding chapel music for us. My father walked Cassie down the isle.
You have to go to LV courthouse to get your wedding license. I think that was 50 bucks. When your there there is about 5-10 guys out on the steps all hoping to get your business. SOme of them had a limo right there to take you to go get it done.
After that we went to a buffet ( not my choice some of the family who hadn't been to vegas wanted to go) and we all had a meal together. They were every nice and set us up in a unused room. It was actually very nice.
I think my expences on it worked out to..(I could be off on a few of these, it was a long weekend)
50 for the liciense
300 for the service
90 for photos
10 buck tip for the Driver
40 buck tip for the minister
10 bucks for the Little ole lady running the organ.
Things I didn't like....
The place suprized us when we got there, but pulling out a clause that only they could take pictures in the chapel. I had been planning on my father, and 4 sisters, and 1 brother, and all their familys just taking enough pictures for us.
So they charged me 90 bucks to have the place's phtographer to come in and snap 12 frames. (that we got the film and had to develope).
The minister, We told her we are non religious so we'd be happy with a godless cerimony ( she asked) She then tossed in a complete wiccan, new age, earth mother, hug the tree's spin on it, and the one line that caught my attention was the "worship at the feet of your wifes fertility" or something like that. WTF? Good thing I'd tipped her before the service had started.
Overall it worked out okay. We just wanted to have a cheapo wedding, and this fit the bill. For 500 bucks what can you expect? If I knewit would work out this way in October of last year, I'd have gone ahead as we did.
