Yes then there wouldn't be so many divorces because they were drunk when they got married. |

Fewer people should get married everywhere. Marriage is pointless. If you really have a deep and
permanent affection for someone, why should you feel the need to formalize the relationship through
a ceremony? It actually implies that you have doubt about the other person's commitment to you, and
want to get them into a binding contract. So, in a way, to get married is to admit that a
relationship is weak rather than strong.
On the Vegas question, I think getting married there is grotesque and glitzy, which is why I was
distressed to hear that my uncle had done it. I was shocked because he had always seemed like an
intelligent person, and is, in fact, a respected and successful psychologist. Apparently he got
married in some kind of Elvis shrine. Unless he was doing it in a spirit of irony, and I don't think
marriages should be solemnized in a spirit of irony, I can only assume that his new wife (whom I've
never met, it was a remarriage) is some kind of idiot who dragged him down to her level. |

A shotgun wedding may sound fun but why waste the Judges time when you get the DEVORCE later. |

People should avoid getting married in Las Vegas, simply because it's a totally mawkish thing to do.
This, of course, is my completely subjective opinion on the matter and I would never dream of
limiting the ability of people to get hitched at a drive-thru chapel with the help of a minister who
thinks he's Elvis. Getting married is a hugely important commitment to make, and it is best done in
a tasteful, restrained and serious manner. I think that some couples still passionately in love at
the start of their relationship may be blinded by their romance and as such, are more prone to make
foolish decisions, like getting married at a kitsch chapel in Las Vegas. I imagine that years later,
when they can think rationally again, they realize that this was not their proudest moment.
Everything in Las Vegas is fake and a sham, including the Statue of Liberty, Venice and the Eiffel
Tower. Why should weddings be any different? |

I agree with Cephus. It's also a lot cheaper than a traditional wedding so it's a better option for
lower income people. And you're right, Cephus, the divorce rate is 51%, and that's because too many
people get married on a whim (like in Vegas). If we took away the Vegas weddings, there would be far
greater a waste of money on a whirlwind marriage. |

I think it is great that people elope in Las Vegas. It is completely romantic and a whole bunch
cheaper than having a traditional wedding. Plus, there is so much to do in Vegas, you can have your
honeymoon there too. I can think of nothing better than running off to the little chapel in Vegas
and marrying your love. You can always have a party when you get back to celebrate with family and
friends. They don't have to be present but if you are planning on doing this ahead of time, you can
even invite your parents to join you. Lots of parents love that idea and would jump at the chance to
join you in Vegas to see you get married. |

What difference does it make where you get married? The divorce rate is 51% and that has nothing to
do with Las Vegas, it has to do with people getting married too young and too fast without enough
maturity. Any marriage, regardless of where it's done, can last if treated properly. |
