Besides the memorable date, “I do” ( ha -no punn intended), believe these handsome Grooms along with their gorgeous Brides will always remember their anniversaries and share with many others an awesome date to remember.

It is truly an honor to be able to escort so many Brides & Grooms to the chapel and share in their beautiful days. Driving my couples back in the limousine I get to hear how pleased couples are with their ceremonies and it is most rewarding.

Happy Couple at Viva Las Vegas Wedding Chapel

I think we have the coolest wedding chapel in Las Vegas and am quite proud to work here. Everyday is like play day. We do so many themed ceremonies for weddings, commitments and vow renewals that you can’t help but have oodles of fun. If you are searching for a chapel with many options check us out at www.VivaLasVegasWeddings.com or give us a call at 702-384-0771. We would love to help you plan your special day.

I am so excited to bring you…The art of the Bride. I am a huge fan of the reality show~”LA INK,” since I am a native of Southern California. I just don’t know how I’ll fill my tattoo love tank since Kat Von D will no longer be on the air. Arghhhhhh.

I can’t say I have any tattoos- however, I am obsessed with them. I just think that tattoos speak volumes. They are interpreted one way by the viewer, but their true stories can only be spoken by those that display them so beautifully.

I love my job here at the Viva Las Vegas Wedding Chapel and I get to see artwork ( my opinion ) from all over the world on any given day here. I have taken a bit of time to photograph some Brides tatts in hopes that you too, will enjoy them.

Thanks to all of the really cool Brides that displayed their tatts for my blog-you really rock! Perhaps I’ll look into Miami Ink? What do ya think? Anyone? Hello? Hello?

Host Brian & Di on Radio 1230am

In honor of our guest for our local radio show this week I would like not only to honor a wonderful Las Vegas Gourmet Cake Master, but the cake as well. Tune in to your radio with us to learn all about the art of the wedding cake with Dominque and your host Brian Mills and Yours Truly. Don’t forget the Viva Las Vegas Wedding Show will be live on the radio Wednesday at 3:00 p.m. (Pacific Time).  We invite you to listen in or call in to the show. We’d love to hear from you. You may listen online also, at www.klav1230am.com

Let me begin by saying…I LOVE CAKE! The popularity of shows like Cake Boss are really upping the ante’ on the wedding cake business. You see designs that are just out of this world and I understand the requests can be crazy as well. I cannot wait to hear Dominques craziest cake request. Oh, and the most popular flavor and well, I’d best stop there before I go into a cake frenzy and have to have some before I proceed.

The wedding cake tradition dates back to the Roman Empire. Now it was a bit (a lotta bit) different than you would expect. It began as a loaf of bread, not actually cake. Now here’s the part where it gets whacky to the Bride and the bread-heyyy. The Groom would take the loaf of bread and break it over his Brides head to symbolize his dominance over her. Ouchhhhh

I’d rather be clubbed and dragged by my hair, than waste good bread or cake for that matter. However, I am glad to see that tradition has evolved, and it is now a sweet treat shared at the wedding reception with your one and only and your family and friends.

If a cake is in your future I encourage you to order a cake through the Viva Las Vegas Wedding Chapel where Dominque will make you a cake that will make you salivate and want to lick your fingers.Mmmmmmmmm~

You may also go to his website by clicking on this link: www.tgcf.com Dominique is one of the finer Pastry Chefs in the city and his fabulous cakes are gourmet all the way. I encourage you to have your cake and eat it too-ha!

* The cakes appearing in this Blog are sample cakes by Chef Dominique~ooh la la

So, we look forward to seeing you at the Orleans and joining Elvis as he performs wedding ceremonies and vow renewals for many Rockabilly hotties. There will be hot cars, hot gals and hot guys to gawk at, with plenty of food and beer to go around.

Johan said it was Leonie’s birthday and she had always dreamed of coming to Las Vegas and having an Elvis wedding. So Johan made Leonies birthday wish come true. What a guy! Johan and Leonie have been married for 27 years and have five (one for each finger) grown sons. Well, that certainly beats “My Three Sons” the television show. What a loving couple they were. Johan said it’s their time now, and they really seem to be living it up. I asked Johan for a marriage tip on how to make it to 27 years.This is something I love asking of Vow Renewal couples I chauffeur. Hey, I need all of the help I can get…I’m working my way towards a blissful 4 myself.

His answer was short but very sweet, he said-”honest true love.” I about melted. It was true, I could see it in both of their eyes from the moment I met them. Leonie said “work at it too.” Boy, I felt as if I had just received a wealth of critical information in just a few beautiful words. Leonie did say,” you endure the salt together too!” Makes me hungry for more, I say pass the salt aaaand the pepper if this is what I look forward to having in my golden years. Leonie and Johan you were a blessing to me and I crown you both Bride & Groom of the week of  The Viva Las Vegas Wedding Chapel in Fabulous Las Vegas,Nevada. They say it’s your birthday, well I felt like it was my birthday too. Thank you for the gift of tips on how to make it to 27 years!

Are you coming to Las Vegas? Do you, like Johan want to surprise your wife or husband? Give us a call and we will make all of the arrangements for your Vow Renewal, Wedding or Commitment Ceremony. We look forward to hearing from you via telephone at 702-384-0771 or view our fabulous wedding packages at www.VivaLasVegasWeddings.com.

Until we meet again,

     Thanks to the Concierge at the City Center for her recommendation. Our local Concierge even attended the wedding since they had become friends through their chats online. This is how friendships are made. I  just had to share this unique story~besides that, how gorgeous is Clare with her Prince Arron by her side? Best wishes to you and cheers to you both on making my Bridal couple for the month of November. You look marrrvelous!

     Now, with all of that planning…I wonder if Clare knew how terrific our weather was going to be? The high 70′s in November? Why it’s unheard of. However, this brilliant Concierge really did her homework, I am certain she was checking the weather report daily. Lucky guy, lucky gal. They chose the Gazebo Evening Wedding. Italian Cypress and nature surround this lovely Gazebo.Complete with twinkly lights and park style benches, it makes an intimate setting for two, or even fifteen, just lovely. Seeing the Gazebo in person is breathtaking. It is one of my favorite marrying spots because the photography is spectacular in this magical setting.

Happily ever after...

     If you are looking….look no further. We have 5 different wedding spots here on sight to either host your number of guests or suit your budget. We look forward to serving you.

Viva Las Vegas Weddings is closed for the night. Good night Kalin, good night Jamie, good night John boy. It’s eleven o’clock and we all zoom out of the parking lot. I am in my car, when suddenly I recall…what I forgot. Ughhhhhh, so I make my way back into the Chapel past the prop room towards the employees lounge. I forgot my once heated lasagne in the midst of being soo busy. I figure it will be a quick turnaround, so I won’t even turn on the lights.

          I will just…..Whoa! What was that? A loud thump, and it’s coming from the direction of the closet. Thaaat closet! The one that hasn’t been opened for about a year. The one that no ones keys seem to fit anymore. It’s so dark I can’t even see my hand before me. Now, I could actually hear the wind howling loudly, as thaaat door begins to slowly open. I make an about face, and begin to tip-toe through the grave stones and realize I cannot run fast enough without falling, so I decide to hide. I lean on a wall, in an attempt to make myself small,  (not so easy for me, I’m a size 10).  The door is oooopening and and I’m all alone. I am frozen in fear. I can now make out a shadowy figure lurking through the door.

          The door suddenly swings open fast and I let out a BIG …..Reverend Daphne? Reverend Daphne, what are you doing here? She says, “Oh, I was fishing out my cloak and green makeup for Halloween.” “You do realize Halloween is only a few weeks away?” I let out a sigh of relief, as I think to myself, we really do have CREEPY MINISTERS.

          Brides, it’s not too late…It’s time to raise your Grooms from the dead, oops I mean bed and check us out on the spider web. Find our Halloween weddings link at www.Vivalasvegasweddings.com , or better yet, call us at 702-384-0771 and speak to our live staff. We will be happy to place your order…..hahahahahahahahahahaha.

Forever your ghoul,

Diana
