It’s one of the great folk stories in the consciousness of the people of the U.S., to have a friend who got hitched in Las Vegas. It’s a story that has just a couple common themes, and they usually revolve around these. Sudden infatuation and intoxication are usually the ingredients, and they almost always serve as a cautionary tale. A lot of these are probably no more than urban legends, because of the nature of the story, with a friend, or a friend of a friend being the main character.

Not that it can’t happen in Vegas. With so much splendor in its fantastic hotels, Las Vegas can infuse any moment with a whole lot of charm that might not hold up after the oxygen is back to a normal level, and life can be seen in direct light, unhindered with neon. But there are certainly a large number of wedding chapels here, although they do try their best to discourage the severely inebriated from making a move that’s legal, and at least a little bit permanent.

The history of chapels in the city is actually a delightful one, and it does speak to a honeymoon spirit, and one that can sometimes give blessings to true love. The Wee Kirk o’the Heather just might be the oldest, as it claims to be, having been doing this since 1940. A graduate student should certainly figure out how to turn their stories into a sociology dissertation. Somewhere in the history of these services, stories about a minister dressed as Elvis started circulating, and it may very well have been the stuff of urban legend as well. But when word gets around, and there’s money to be made, supply rises to meet the demand, and now there are several chapels in town that can do the Elvis wedding , and even the Wee Kirk offers a special package for lovers enamored with the King as much as each other.
