Day Time, Night Time, Any Time...
Las Vegas holidays conjure up images of neon lit hotels
, flashing lights, fruit machines and casinos, but would you recognise it as the wedding capital of the world? Well as one of the easiest cities to get married in, thats exactly what Las Vegas is. Las Vegas holidays provide the perfect opportunity to get married; all you need is a little cash, some ID to prove you are over eighteen, and your other half, of course!Las Vegas weddings can be as sincere or as whacky as you want to make them, they can be large traditional family affairs, or quick, drive through services at five in the morning with the taxi driver as your witness! You can theme your wedding to suit your taste, from Graveyard, Gothic and Vampire, to Star Wars, Hollywood and of course, Elvis. You can have indoor, outdoor and even high in the sky weddings as you say your vows in a helicopter whilst flying over the city.
You will have to apply for a marriage license from the Clark County Marriage License Bureau on the corner of Clark Avenue and Third Street, this is valid for a year, and the office is open from 8am until midnight, proof of the eccentric times people get married around here! After the ceremony you will receive a signed souvenir certificate to keep and a copy will also be sent to the County Clerk. You then have to buy a certified copy of your Marriage Certificate from the Las Vegas Wedding Bureau; this can take two to three days to come through but can be posted out to your UK address.
You will have to provide a change of name deed if you have ever legally changed your name, your birth certificate, a decree absolute if you are divorced and a death certificate if you are widowed. Written consent is also needed by parents if you are under the age of 18.
Your marriage is legal in the UK but will only be recorded with the General Register Office (GRO) and not registered as it would be if you got married in this country, this is slightly different if you are a member of the armed forces, who will inform you of what you need to do. Your marriage certificate will be sent from the Las Vegas Wedding Bureau to the British Embassy in Los Angeles which is then forwarded to the GRO, where it is held so a copy can be obtained should you ever need it.
Thats the technical part finished, its extremely easy to organise. All that is left now is to pick the rings, book your Las Vegas holidays and pop the question!!
