Halloween Wedding . . . Anyone?

One of the most fabulous things about being married in Vegas is arriving as you are to the ceremony (within reason). How ever you are dressed or choose to be dressed on your special day is up to you.  In a sense, it's a judgement free zone. Whether you are going in Jeans, pirate costumes or are dressed as a peach and a pear the choice is yours. Trust me the coordinators and ministers have seen it all.

Regardless of what you choose, the ceremony elements remain the same. Your commitment is the same and the love expressed there in, unaffected and unchanged.

I'll talk with you again soon.

Cheers,
Connie

Viva Las Vegas

This trip to Vegas wouldn't be complete without including information on the Viva Las Vegas Wedding Chapel.  Many, Many couples enjoy having an Elvis impersonator at their wedding. Many Elvi' throughout the city, walk brides down the aisle and sing during the ceremony.  At the Viva Las Vegas Wedding Chapel, Elvis does all of the above and regularly performs the ceremony as well.  This facility offers much more. There are a variety of wedding chapels to choose from, there is a formal wear shop and a florist on the property.  Likewise, there is a banquet and meeting facility adjacent to the wedding chapels.

The Fabulous Las Vegas Sign

The "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" sign greets guests as they begin to drive north into the thick of the action on Las Vegas Boulevard. There are parking spaces within the median for those who would like to stop for a picture. Wedding wise, I found many newly weds in line to have someone snap a picture of them. There are also busses that pull up frequently with whole wedding parties formally dressed and ready to the position themselves for some great souvenir photos. 

The Biggest Gift Shop in the World

Shopping in Las Vegas is fabulous too!  Keep in mind there are many places to shop on Las Vegas boulevard; however, one place you shouldn't miss is the world's largest gift shop.

An Oasis in the Desert

On my way down Las Vegas Boulevard I stopped in another of my favorite hotels. It is commonly known that the Flamingo was the first upscale resort built on Las Vegas Boulevard. It opened as the Flamingo in 1945 by the notorious Bugsy Siegel.

The buildings of that era are now just a memory and have long since been replaced; however, there are historical markers here and there for those who are interested. If you have the pleasure of walking into their garden area where the pool and Garden Wedding Chapel are located, you will find a tranquil oasis.

The grounds around the outside of  wedding chapel offer nice opportunities for wedding photography. Their facility is as beautiful outside as it is within.   The chapel offers a wide array of wedding packages with dreamy names including the Soulmate and the Fabulous package with offerings which appear to live up to the name.

Have a wonderful weekend.  I will post again soon.

Fabulous Love and Convenience

Part of what makes Las Vegas fabulous is the ease and convenience of planning the preparations with professional planners. This comfortable sentiment carries through to the actual day of the ceremony.

There is one chapel that offers a very unique ceremony. A Little White Chapel offers a "Tunnel of Love" wherein a couple can be married and never have to leave their vehicle.  Yes, the wedding chapel along with its formal chapels has a drive- thru window for ceremonies. Please note, even in a drive-thru ceremony couples must have a marriage licenses and go through all of the normal vows.   Along with their diverse selection of wedding packages the chapel offers a formal rentals service, photography studio and florist on their property.

There is something for everyone, only in Vegas.

Cheers and more to come!!

The Definition of Fabulous

There are many, many wedding chapels in Vegas and all are fabulous in their own way.  During my visit I did stop by the Wynn to visit their chapels and found them to be as beautiful as they are in pictures, just gorgeous. In my humble opinion of course and with full disclosure I did work for Mr. Wynn years and years ago.  Here are the beautiful pictures I took.

More to come . . .

I hope you all are having a good evening.

A Fabulous Poem

I think I'll share one of my fabulous poems with you all.

Two of a Kind

Not exactly the same, but of the same kind.

Not visually so, but viscerally of the same mind.

Two of a Kind

Different and with open hearts we intertwine.

Inspite of what is seen, the invisible ties that bind.

I hope your week is going well. I will report to you in a few days.

Cheers!

Connie

Anniversary!

A year ago today, I launched this version of the blog.  I value every wonderful experience which has led me to this point.  Romantics and stories of romance abound, such accounts are documented throughout history and are in fact found in religious texts. 

Whether you decide to stop in Las Vegas to renew vows and go on to do so in every state of the union, or travel around the world doing so, you now can imagine the options are endless.  Their real stories are as always, private and the details are something for those who are truly in love to share.

I used this picture today because couples typically save the top tier of their wedding cake to eat on their first anniversary.

All in all,  I am happy to be at your service, writing for you on this subject.

Cheers!
Connie

Whatever you do in the name of love, may it succeed.
