    hey everyone i havent logged in for a while but im sooooo excited by the latest change in plans and as i cant telly ANYONE except you guys i couldnt resist a post!!
    just before xmas me and htb decided that this halloween we would wed in las vegas, its top secret due to family feuds etc we have told people were going to usa for a week but havent decided which state yet, so far no one suspects anything lol
    anyway htbs work cancelled rest days over halloween so of course goodbye vegas in october :( but the good but very scary news is that were now going to vegas in august which means im getting married sooner woooohoooo, tomorrow we will know for certain if were going 5th-11th aug or 23-29th we were hoping for the last week as its cheaper rooms and flights but his work have again said prob not and will have final vote tomorrow i have my fingers crossed though!
    the other reason i wanted to post was to say i have found a store on the bay of e which is the official clearence store for a
    `very` well known store that holly and fern design for?? they sell wedding dresses and bridesmaid dresses etc and when they get returned if any tiny imperfection is found they get put on the clearance store on the bay i just brought a dress they are selling for £250 but paid £32.99 inc p&p they start auctions as low as £25 and most ive seen is £49.99 might be worth a look every now and again to see if anyone else can grab a bargain ive added pic of mine

    Thanks all I really wanted to see vegas at Halloween so I was really gutted that time off was cancelled but then I realised that this way I don't have to wait aslong.
    We are prob going to be booking in next week or so as have saved the money.
    I'm in love with the look of the elara hilton to stay in all week but we have so much choice it's hard. we were going to stay in either a spa suite in Monte Carlo, NYNY or MGM for last three nights and maybe Luxor or Excalibur on the first 3 but now I found elara I'm fairly sure that's the one we will go for. Wedding wise I have emailed so many different places and I'm not getting very far as all we want is ceremony, few pics, video to bring home and limo to and from but if course I'm getting the oh no you will need this and that aswell from all but the Rivera hotel chapel who so far seem brilliant but the hotel it's self has terrible reviews so I'm stressing slightly over all that. I even emailed companies that are meant to make it easier but getting nowhere as I'm not wanting anything flashy its just the two of us. Any ideas or comments about any of the above good or bad much needed plz :)
    Sparklez you will have to fill me in on any must dos from ur trip next month! Where r u staying?
    Lol Lala is August the usual time for u to go Vegas? I'm bit worried it may be to hot?

    Ah that's okay then as long as there's some escape from the heat although I'm guessing a outdoor ceremony would be silly.
    Does anyone know if the Rivera is as much of a dumb as I'm reading? I think as an iconic hotel and a hotel that has been in loads of movies it would be nice to have a few pics outside then the ceremony in their small chapel but if the outside isn't as nice as it looks online I'd prob pass but it does look very vegas which is what I'd like.
    Lala I have the licence forms bookmarked ready to fill out and the Rivera had offered as part of there package limo from hotel and back to get license plus to and from ceremony.
    I will look at the company and see what they could do :) thanks
    I've been really put off the small chapels around the strip area as to many reviews are saying they try and push you to buy extras on your wedding day or they give you bad pics and then charge loads for the good ones, also the constant people on your wedding day hovering for tips I don't like as I would like to be all paid up and not have any worrys on wedding day or is that just typical of Vegas??
    Sorry loads of questions

    Vegas baby! You'll have a ball :)

    We got married in Sept 2011 and it was hot then - I think the thermometer on the Harley registered 105 when we headed back in from the Grand Canyon!
    If there's anything you want to know feel free to ask - any of course, lala's always happy to recommend people too :)

    An outdoor ceremony wouldn't be impossible. It'd be best to keep to the morning or evening though.

    I'd tend to agree about the chapels - well, certainly the one we went to. The pics they gave us that were included in the package were photo-shopped to death - they made hubby look like a plastic Ken doll LOL! We ended up buying more on a disc (they weren't actually that much to be honest, but I can't remember exactly how much), but it is a bit cheeky that they do this.
    We did a sunset limo tour for 3 hours, which took in the Vegas sign, Bellagio fountains, Treasure Island, Freemont Street and the reaction of people was something else! We had people coming up to us asking if they could have their photo taken with us! Madness. We tipped the driver well as we felt he went above and beyond - he knew all the sneaky back routes into the touristy places.
    We then ended up back at our hotel bar with the younger ones of our gang - so there were 6 of us in total and we drank until the early hours in their bar.

    My cousin got married at the Excalibur hotel and we stayed there also, it's a lovely hotel
    I agree about the air con, they also have it on very high in the casinos and in the food quarter bit.

    We went in may time and was gorgeous weather!

    Another question for those married in Vegas, I know what I need to do before my ceremony but do I need to do anything after as I don't want to get home and find we're not really married? Thanks x

    You'll need to get your actual marriage certificate ordered when you get home. You won't be able to get this until 15 days after the wedding. You just go online and order it. Apart from that, no, nothing - all legal as soon as it's done!

    Ah that's brilliant thanks a lot who do u notify back home my local reg office? I only asked as I saw a chapel who wanted more to do the official paper work that makes it legal and stuff said that u need to submit a certificate in your own country and also that there apostilles needed I have no idea what this means but seems they may be cons x
