Las Vegas Wedding

[Michael.Nichols 0]

Hi everybody,

Elena's interview is next Friday in Moscow!!!!! So exciting. We are thinking about a Las Vegas wedding, but I wonder if anybody has experience with flying. Once she is into the U.S., can she legally fly in an airplane as long as we stay in the U.S.? Elena said she heard that Las Vegas weddings are not considered legal in Russia, but I don't think that is true or that it would even matter anyway. Anybody know anything about that? Thanks in advance.

Yes

Vegas weddings are legal as any other wedding in the US.

Yep, she should have no problem flying within the US. Make sure she has her passport for ID, and she'll be fine. Victoria and I flew within the first two weeks and she had no problems. And as long as the State of Nevada recognizes your LV wedding, it's legal.

Congrats to you both and good luck!

Sure you can legally marry in Vegas. And you can take her to Hawaii for a honeymoon too.

We married in Vegas, and all was/is fine. I can't speak about Russia recognizing the marraige with any authority, but Ukraine has no issues. I would be surprised if Russia did.

Did you see Elvis? Are Wayne Newton?

Are you kidding? It is Vegas We see Elvi every time we visit. Not sure what you meant about Wayne Newton.

What no one is mentioning is that some countries require an apostille when married in Vegas.

Apostille (Proof of Marriage for Foreign Citizens Only)

An Apostille and a Certified Las Vegas Marriage Certificate are generally accepted as proof of marriage by most countries. However, check with your local officials to ensure the right documents are obtained for your marriage to be recognized in your country.

Wayne Newton is a Vegas institution, probably surpassing Elvis and Frank Sinatra..but have you seen him lately? Looks like about 500 too many cosmetic surgeries and Botox shots. Makes Nancy Pelosi look like a naturalist. Yet he still plays Vegas...probably broken all records for continuous gigs in Sin City. And his stark black hair dye just adds to his clownish appearance. I guess if you're rich and can still hit a few high notes no one laughs.

PS: I see I wrote "are" instead of "or," maybe that threw you off.

I'm sure he laughs every day when he looks at his bank statement.

Never have seen Wayne Newton live (I do know who he is). I thought he was off the grid after the Wayne Newton Theater and the rest of the Stardust went dozer.

Probably showing my age with my Wayne Newton comments.

You are in good company here

For the Vegas wedding, you should try to get Alla Pugacheva to marry you, instead of Elvis. Or maybe Lolita Milavskaya. You can actually find Madonna lookalikes, so that's an option too.

But to really make an impression on the family back home, Mikhail Gorbachev or Boris Yeltsin would do very nicely. I suppose a Bill Clinton lookalike would be a hit back home too.

I think it's time Vegas branched out and offered more choices for wedding officiants.

What else are you doing for your wedding that's cool? I thought it would be fun to party at the Venetian with the wedding party. Yeah, I made plans. But I didn't wind up getting married AT ALL after she got over here.

If you marry in vega you have to do the star trek wedding.
