Anyone have a Vegas wedding?

So my FI and I have decided to stop planning our big wedding and go to Las Vegas with just immediate family and close friends who would like to attend. At the first suggestion of this, I was very turned off, but the more I think about it, the more I think I would really enjoy the simplicity of it. We are both students and both work full time, and while we make decent money, we don't have the kind of money where we would like to throw a giant party for 200 of our closest friends.  Has anyone on here had or been to a Vegas wedding? If so, what was your experience, the good, the bad? I normally don't post here, but I thought you ladies might have some good insight. Thanks a lot!

  • I haven't been to one, but had a friend who eloped there with just her FI. She said it was gorgeous and despite what she initially thought, it wasn't a "cheezy Vegas wedding" at all! They had their ceremony live online so we could all watch and the chapel, flowers, etc were just as beautiful as anything she could have found at home.... for about 1/10 of what she would have paid.
  • I know there are several Nesties who have had their wedding in Vegas. I know they sometimes lurk over here, so you may want to page Kingpepsisgirl (Tammy) and she may be able to give you some suggestions! Good luck with all of your planning.
  • Wow ladies! Thanks so much for the advice! I would love to chat with you girls after I get some planning nailed down. You have made me feel so good about our choice though! I will definitely staying in touch with the DW board!!
