Would you ever get married in Vegas?

[Katebfun]

Or do you find it tacky. Some celebrities have done it. You don't need an expensive traditional Wedding.

You don't NEED to have a fancy, traditional wedding anywhere. You don't need to fly to Las Vegas to have a small, intimate wedding.

Save the airfare. Don't cave to parental or other relatives' or friends' pressure. Go to a justice of the peace or the courthouse and do it simply and inexpensively.

The problem with Vegas, and I've been there, is it's loud, bright and fake. If you'd like a simple wedding on a beachfront with five friends and a minister, you won't be pleased with the neon capital. And there's nothing to do there that's peaceful and relaxing. It's a town about spending and losing money, or seeing a big show.

I'd rather get wed in a national forest or a lone beach with a few people who matter.

Spend your money on a reception that's done AFTER the ceremony.

If you're going to pay for airfare, spend it on a lovely place you'd like to honeymoon. And remember, neither the reception NOR the honeymoon HAVE to happen right after the wedding. Decompress and plan both a little later. Takes the pressure off.

That's the time to have the most fun and spend the most money.

The party to celebrate your wedding, and the honeymoon where you have a great first vacation together are more important than a marital ceremony at a flashy destination. You'll create warm and lasting memories for yourselves, family and friends.

I agree 👍 💯 I love nature and a sinple Beach front wedding sounds ideal. I would not have a reception. Maybe a dinner after. Thanks for the future idea!!

[Simslover92]

Probably not. I think I would just get married with the Justice of the Peace before I got married in Vegas. But I want my family and friends to be at my wedding so ultimately it would probably be a no.

I'm not an idiot and I learn from experience. I would never get married anywhere for any reason at all. The issue of whether or not it's tacky is completely subsumed by the fact that doing so really comes down to taking a ridiculous legal and financial risk for absolutely no good reason. The good news is it's probably going to be over in about 6 months to 3 years. The bad news is that in all likelihood I would lose everything that I've ever worked for including my house, my savings, my property in general and my children. No way in hell am I going to fall for that sort of scam.

[msc545]

Thanks for MHO

I don't see why not, the one who performed the ceremony is legally licensed to do so, it's nothing tacky about being married in Vegas, it's different and I know several people that got married there, plus if the stars happen to favor you, you get to go home with more than you arrived with, if your a gambler

[Katebfun]

Exactly l. Actor Shia Labeouf was married there in Vegas

[smne35]

Really it matters not where you tie the knot, long as it's witnessed before God and both of you are truly in love

[OlderAndWiser]

That is the epitome of tacky!

[Guido]

Yes and I did get married there. We had both been married before so this was let's get married and have some fun while doing it.

We had a good time. As we had done this before, we didn't need some big fancy wedding. This was just about us.

[Katebfun]

Yep. My dad got re married there. They were together over 10 years, still together 2 decades later.

[jshm2]

Why the fuck would I even want to go to Vegas?

[Katebfun]

To see the pretty lights..

[IslaTheWitch]

It's just a very popular place. I would probably choose a more... quiet place... less people and concrete more nature

[BCA6010]

I won't say "never," but it would rank pretty low.

[sheikalana]

Why not? It's a quick way to have a marriage certificate that is actually valid.

[worldscolide]

Oh god no.. LasVegas is the marriage capital of the US and the divorce capital of the US..

[MarkDown]

Would most likely cost enough to get to Los Vegas from here that I'd just add a little more to that and do a small traditional wedding.

[wiltingrosepetal]

No I'd get married in my own country lol

[Katebfun]

Word 💯

[Anonymous]

Sure I would, but in a term of just have fun and like ‘married’

[Anonymous]

that's tacky and cheesy as hell...

[Katebfun]

Some think, others see it as a fun adventure and a quarter of the cost of a traditional wedding

[Opinion Owner]

[elizamichale1]

[KittygosMeoWW]

[Asad1ONE1]

[Cubus]
