No dignity part V


Really? I guess I shouldn't have been surprised to come across this as I was in Vegas, since there are so many insta-chapels in that town. I guess I just can't fathom why a person would want to be married in Vegas. It's like sort of putting a hex on the whole thing from the start. I mean, Vegas is the absolute symbol of say anything/do anything/no consequences/no parents/no fidelity/getting married here is a joke. I mean, the idea that a Vegas marriage is going to be long term and meaningful is somewhat laughable. I realize there are exceptions to the rule but...

Come on. Do you really want your wedding photos in front of the uber cliche welcome to Vegas sign? I mean, the girl has a dress, which means they thought about this decision for at least five minutes. Perhaps they should have devoted twenty...

No dignity.

I think some people go into marriages seriously thinking that they can get divorced later. Shouldn't one be marrying someone because they're certain that they will never divorce that person? I agree-- Vegas weddings are a joke. Even if the man I marry wanted to be married there because he liked Vegas (which seems odd to me, because I can't think of a reason I'd like Vegas, but to be fair, I've never been), I would tell him that he was out of his mind if he thought I was going to embarrass myself and my family by stooping to such a ridiculous low. I think Vegas weddings are the epitome of white trash. No thanks.
