    Hi Guys, this one wasn't the easiest one to film since I was getting in on people's weddings. Thankfully there are so many relaxed people getting married that they were cool with me filming. One thing I learned was that there's an "Elvis Union." It's unofficial but there are 100+ Elvis impersonators in this industry. I wanted to get the one Elvis impersonator to talk on camera after the wedding but the chapel said I couldn't do that... Elvis politics :)

    My wife and I married at the little white chapel drive through. It was 107 degrees and it took approximately 7 minutes. Cost $80. The $20k we would have spent on a big wedding and honeymoon was a down payment on a house.

      ​@@BigBlueRabbitthat's actually because banana flavouring is based on the Gros Michel banana that was largely wiped out by the "Panama Disease" so they had to cultivate bananas resistant to it which is the one widely sold today known as Cavendish which had less strong of a flavor. But it is also now threatened by a fungus and may have to be replaced in due time.

      @truantray It's a bit of a mix. A lot of fun in many respects, but you also see firsthand what happens when a state has 0 income tax and nearly nothing contributed to social services. I loved my time there, but I find it hard to imagine raising a family there as well. I think it all depends on where you are at in life and what you are expecting from a given state.

    My wife and I got married in Vegas over 2 years ago right before I went back into the Army. We payed extra to get the certificate quickly before I left too! Nowhere in California would have allowed us to do that within our small time crunch. We're still going strong and in love as ever after a deployment and multiple training events that have pulled us apart. I always thought Vegas weddings were funny but mine was so true and full of love that I see them as such now. Thanks for shining light on an event that was so special to me! I wish all these couples the best and I hope people realize that Vegas weddings arent just people partying and tying the knot whole they're drunk haha.

After all life is too short and a wedding is supposed to be about joy. It was a genuine pleasure to see, as you mentioned, the staff being so sincere and involved. Hats off, once again, sir. Vegas has been a great series and I am enjoying the balance you are keeping of featuring very hard core, but optimistic, subject matter (trafficking) with uplifting, light hearted material.

We had to do it outside, but it was actually much better that way, since these gorgeous areas were closed off to the public at the time.

    Done the Vegas wedding myself. Saved me at least a few thousand and it was a great incentive for friends and family from all over the world to actually attend. There is a myriad of venues for gatherings before and after the ceremony and it's easy to rent an outfit for the day. If you want live music, just go to a lounge afterwards. As for photos, you can just pose around the different casinos until you can walk no more.... I can only recommend it over stuffy hometown weddings that will hit your wallet hard.

    My step son was married by Darth Vader there. I thought it was going to be real Corning. But, the guy in the suit dressed up, took the saying of the vows VERY seriously. It was a lot of fun! Another great video! I’m going to Vegas on the 10th I’m so glad I learned all this b-4 I go back. 🤩👍🏻

    This actually way more romantic and endearing because it’s genuine, and not a manufactured day of appearances.
    I would sit in a pew as a witness all day having fun congratulating all the couples coming through.
    Probably has to be such a great place to work ❤

    My boyfriends parents joke that when we get married they're just shipping us to Vegas because his sisters wedding was such a clusterfuck and they don't want to go through a part 2. 😅

    I got married in Vegas in a small room at Treasure Island. We figured it would be better to spend the money from a traditional wedding and put it towards a house. ;)

    Husband and I eloped to Vegas in 2004 and got married in one of the chapels. The couple in front of us made our entire party uncomfortable. There was a VERY young looking Asian female (looked to be about 14-15), 3 men with her. No other females. One man was holding her upper arm and she looked terrified. They rented a wedding dress and put it on her over her jeans and t-shirt. The 4 of them walked in one of the chapel service rooms as we were entering ours. Never saw them leave, but I'll never forget the look on her face and the feeling we all had about the situation

      Wow , that's awful and so sad ... did anybody try to tip off the cops that a forced marriage or human trafficking might have happened there ?
      Maybe Vegas had a lot of security cameras by then and maybe they could have investigated this ?
      I feel bad for that poor girl I hope she was able to eventually get away from them ?
      Sorry you had to see that on your wedding day .

    My wife and I were married in Las Vegas! It was in the Sahara a couple of years before it closed and changed hands. We moved to Las Vegas a few years later and lived there for 8 years. Las Vegas was a big part of our lives. It was the first city we ever owned a home in. Even though I don't love everything about the city, it'll always hold a special place in my heart. I just wish it appreciated its history more instead of constantly evolving, but I understand why it needs to be the latest and best.

    Not gonna lie. These weddings looks a lot better than I was expecting. I'm not religious and would actually prefer this over getting married in a church.
    Here in Sweden almost no one is religious anymore (of the native Swedes) but they still get married in church. I always find it a bit weird and disrespectful against the priests who actually believe. People just use the churches because they are beautiful and that's about it.

    I love your work so much. You are doing such a service getting real stories out in the age of fabricated story videos. My husband and i just watched the border videos and it was so refreshing (if not depressing as all get out) to hear all the sides and how it 'works.' And the Amish / Mennonite / Jewish ones?? Riveting! Its so important to have reporter-story gatherers like yourself. I wish i could support you more than just subscribing, watching and sharing your videos.

    • @urbansurvivalist411
      @urbansurvivalist411 Год назад

      Vegas is really a hell hole. Homeless ppl are forced to get an id that they can get any services. The shelters there are nasty like you wouldn't believe. I saw cops murder homeless ppl in mass. Didn't have a camera or I would documented it. Thousands live homeless in the shadows of the casinos.

    My Granddaughter just got married in Vegas. Not by Elvis. At Red Rock Natl Preserve. She hired a wedding planner, traditional Christian wedding, they made all the arrangements based on what they wanted, handled license, minister, flowers, photographer and videographer, hair stylist, makeup artist. She really wanted Colorado but it was WAY more money than they wanted to spend. I have the video, it was beautiful and I cry everytime I watch it. They had already been together 7 years, both graduated college at same time (Nov or Dec), bought their first house that spring and decided time to start a family so they wanted to tie the knot without all the family drama (split families).............It was absolutely stunning, even laid out an oriental rug for the ceremony to be performed on. They're only 25 & 26 respectively. They both just turned 25 & 26. Selling their home (more than doubled their equity) and moving into Mimi's almost 4 k sq foot home basement (finished) to help her and save, buy land and build their forever home. Mimi lives in the mountains on lots of acerage, lost her husband and needs help. So it'ss a win win. So proud of them!

    Peter. Another good veido from your Vegas series. I agree!!! Las Vegas weddings are a spontaneous, fast way and fun way for a couple to tie the knot. Peter. I also agree!!! Vegas weddings are definitely an interesting and unique experience for couples to tie the knot compared to traditional weddings.
