Some misguided unfortunates feel that getting married in Las Vegas isn’t quite as glamorous as we know it is. There is a misconception that the weddings we and other chapels in Vegas provide aren’t “real” or not as reputable as traditional weddings at your local church. If your future spouse needs a little convincing, here are five ways to win them over to your side!

1. Slip Hints in During Conversation

Try inserting hints into everyday conversation with your loved one. If they have Las Vegas on their mind, eventually they’ll at least allow you to show them why you want to visit Sin City for your nuptials!

Examples:

Future Spouse: “Can you go out to get some milk?”

You: “Sure thing. I’ll go to the corner store, where they have those little slot machines like they have everywhere in beautiful Las Vegas.”

Future Spouse: “What kind of cufflinks should I get for the wedding?”

You: “How about some with dice on them, like they have at every craps table in beautiful Las Vegas?”

Future Spouse: “Well, I’m off to work. Love you.”

You: “VEGAS!!!!”

2. Only Play Elvis Music and Movies

Throw out all your old movies and music…well, ok, don’t throw them out, but go out and grab all the Elvis tunes and flicks you can find. Whenever your significant other is around, have an Elvis movie on in the background! Of course, the best selection is “Viva Las Vegas!”

Going out to the movies? Listen to “Can’t Help Falling in Love with You” by Elvis on the way there and mention how great it would be to have that played at your wedding! Lounging around at the pool? Sing along to “Hound Dog” and stare your fiancée straight in the eye. Soon you’ll be planning your own Elvis wedding.

3. Pretend you’re at a Casino wherever you go

You’re at a fancy restaurant for a night out with your fiancée. Every time the waiter brings you something, get overly excited. When the meal comes out, jump up in your chair like you won a huge hand in poker!

Or say you’re getting a Coke out of a vending machine. When the bottle comes tumbling out, scream “Jackpot!” like a Lord of the Rings slots machine just spilled tokens all over your shoes from the huge winnings!

Eventually, your future spouse will catch the fever of fun and excitement that only Las Vegas can offer and you will soon be on the plane there!

4. Get Parents on your Side

The average traditional wedding costs around $20,000 these days. Both your parents and your fiancée’s parents are going to flip when they see how much money they can save by letting you run off to Vegas for the wedding! Even if they join you, it’s still a huge bundle of savings to let us do all the hard work for you.

After the parents are on your side, it’s only a matter of time until your future spouse caves and will at least talk to you about the possibility of going. This also goes for siblings, cousins, best friends, and whoever delivers your mail!

5. Bribery

If all else fails, it’s time for bribery! That new car they’ve wanted to buy? It’s totally theirs if you two get married in Las Vegas. Fiancée wants to paint the bathroom bright pink? Done. Just get the tickets for Sin City. Going potty while sitting in a giant box of Pepto Bismol is worth it!

Consider the ceremony itself as well. If they still really want a traditional wedding but you want the glitz of The Strip, we offer wedding packages for every need, including ones found in tiny churches found across America! Meet your future spouse halfway and you might just be surprised what happens.
