The Pros and Cons of a Vegas Wedding

Las Vegas has always been a popular place for weddings. In fact, these days it is so popular that there is an entire television series devoted to Vegas weddings (“Happily Ever Faster”). As with any type of weddings, there are advantages and disadvantages to tying the knot in Sin City. Use this list of pros and cons to help you decide if a Vegas wedding is right for you.

Pro: Las Vegas is glamorous. A Vegas bride has the perfect excuse to choose a sexy beaded wedding gown with lots of sparkling crystal bridal jewelry. Imagine yourself as an extra in “Ocean’s Eleven” or a James Bond film with gorgeous ladies and dashing tuxedo-clad men in the high end casinos. That can be the vibe you channel to put together the perfect crystal beaded gown and dazzling jewelry for your Vegas nuptials.

Con: If you do not consider yourself to be a glamorous person, you may be uncomfortable with the sexy attitude of Vegas. Certainly some brides will wear traditional lace gowns for Las Vegas weddings, but they are in the minority. If you are not comfortable showing some skin, you might prefer to hold your wedding elsewhere.

Pro: Anything goes in Vegas. That is a large part of the appeal for many brides and grooms. Want a wedding that is whimsical, quirky, or just plain silly? You will be able to find whatever you want in Las Vegas. Especially if it is an Elvis impersonator.

Con: That whole “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas” attitude. If you are the sort of couple who prefers a traditional and wholesome wedding experience, the whole Las Vegas vibe may be too much for your taste. Hint: if the word “conservative” is one which you use to describe your dream wedding, Vegas is not for you!

Pro: A quick turnaround. If you cannot possibly wait one second longer to get married, you can do it immediately in Las Vegas. There are no blood tests, no waiting time required after the marriage license is issued, and no pre-marital counseling. When romance calls, Vegas allows you to say your vows anytime, day or night.

Con: There is a good reason why some states or jurisdictions have laws in place which are designed to prevent impulsive marriages. Don’t forget that Vegas is also famous for its quickie divorces. Think of it this way: if you have known each other for a long time and don’t want to waste another day, a Vegas wedding could be ideal. On the other hand, if you just met at a casino last night, well, maybe waiting a little while to tie the knot is not such a bad thing!
