If you’re thinking about getting married in Las Vegas, read Las Vegas Weddings: A Brief History, Celebrity Gossip, Everything Elvis, and the Complete Chapel Guide, first. Susan Marg goes back in time to relate the history of saying, “I do,” in Glitter Gulch as well as gives us the skinny on the chapels that exist today. If you’ve ever wondered why getting hitched in Sin City is such a draw, then read this book because more than 100,000 people a year continue to make Vegas the palace of their nuptuals.

Publishers Weekly said,

“Although DeCar is charming, Marg’s abrupt change in writing style from essayistic prose to article format is jarring. Marg does excel in describing the city’s wedding history, juxtaposing Vegas’s rise as gambling capital with its pursuit of bridal traffic, and the result is compelling.”

Still, don’t you want to know the inside scoop on the celebrity Las Vegas weddings that have passed through these chapel doors? I mean come on, what was Britney Spears thinking….
