No More Alarm Clocks for Bridesmaids' Gifts

Goodbye Britney, Hello Cinderella! As of August 30, The Wall Street Journal reports that the famous 24-hour Vegas wedding chapels will now be observing a strict midnight curfew. While the local chapel personnel are shedding a few tears, the real victims of this tragedy are movie stars and military workers (the primary beneficiaries of the wee-hour wedding). And let’s not forget all those crestfallen attendants hoping to swap bridesmaids’ dresses for a comfy pair of pj’s! As we mourn the loss of misconceived impromptu weddings ( a la Miss Spears) the Marriage Bureau laughs all the way to bank. Their estimated annual savings? $200,000. We believe in Vegas that’s what’s known as “money, baby!” On that note, why not just marry at home and use your saved Vegas money on a few good bridesmaids’ gifts?
