Getting Married Again In Las Vegas – with Elvis!
During our fabulous trip to Las Vegas Nevada to celebrate our 33rd wedding anniversary, the backpacking husband and I renewed our wedding vows by getting married again at The Graceland Chapel in Las Vegas with Elvis as our minister.
It was such a fun and fabulous and wonderfully romantic day!
THE STRETCH LIMO!
First, as organised with Graceland Wedding Chapel, we were picked up from our hotel in a stretch limousine.
BUT when our driver called our hotel room to announce his arrival he had to apologise – explaining he’d have to meet us at the end of the hotel driveway – because the limo was TOO LONG to make the turn at the hotel entrance.
I jumped up and down squealing with excitement because THE LIMO’S TOO LONG TO MAKE THE TURN!
Okay – as you might guess – I’d never been in a stretch limo before!
GRACELAND WEDDING CHAPEL
We chose the world famous Graceland Wedding Chapel for our wedding vows renewal because it is the oldest wedding chapel in Las Vegas and we thought it would be fun if Elvis Presley conducted our service.
We know he wasn’t the real deal but our Elvis was a great impersonator and made our wedding renewal day really special as well as great fun.
The Graceland Chapel has been featured in many Holly wood movies like Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas with Johnny Depp.
It’s also a popular venue for celebrity weddings as lots of pop stars and rock musicians have famously tied the knot there – including members of KISS and Deep Purple and Jon Bon Jovi – and now us!!
The photos below of our Graceland Wedding Chapel service show me being escorted up the aisle by Elvis Himself and him singing to us before we said our wedding vows.
Saying our vows to each other again after 33 years of marriage felt very special, tender, and incredibly romantic for us.
Then the fun really began with the ‘Elvis Vows’
I had to promise not to step on my husband’s Blue Suede Shoes or treat him like a Hound Dog and to tell him that he would always be my Loving Teddy Bear.
He had to promise to Love Me Tender and never leave me at Heartbreak Hotel and we could hardly speak for laughing.
Then we sang and danced to Viva Las Vegas and had photos taken.
It was a fabulously romantic and laugh-out-loud fun and bucket-list day for us and we created some wonderfully happy memories to look back on for hopefully many more married years to come!

WHERE TO STAY IN LAS VEGAS?
The backpacking husband and I stayed at an apartment hotel Palms Place Hotel and Spa just off The Strip and next to The Palms Casino Resort Hotel with its wonderful outdoor swimming pool and sun terrace at a special mid-week deal price.
If you want luxury and a five-star experience then you might be looking to stay at hotels like The Bellagio or The Venetian.
Or if you are looking for mid-range affordability then maybe the MGM Grand or New York New York.
If you need a budget accommodation deal then there are plenty to be found.
Our apart-hotel at Palms Place Hotel and Spa had a small but fully equipped kitchen and a comfortable seating area with a large bedroom with super-king bed and deluxe bathroom as well as an outside balcony and an amazing view of the whole Strip.
It was fabulous and offered us the best of both worlds with a stunning view and a luxury suite.
