Be Like the Stars and Save Bucks with a Frugal Vegas Wedding

Elvis Presley, reportedly the highest paid entertainer in history, chose to take the economical route and have a Vegas wedding. Why don't you do the same?I'm not going to win any points with wedding planners, however, I must go on the record and say the following: as someone who has been hired to perform music at weddings over the last 20 years, it is very difficult to tell the difference between a $4,000 wedding and a $40,000 wedding.

Each year, 120.000 people tie the knot via the econo-route at Las Vegas wedding chapels, and some of those unions have lasted a lifetime.
