A Blue Suede Wedding

When someone I haven’t known long finds out I got married by Elvis in Las Vegas, they seem surprised. I’m not sure why. My one and only wedding was a really fun, sentimental event for everyone involved. Oh, my ex-father-in-law probably didn’t appreciate the dancing at the end of the ceremony. And come to think of it, the groom probably didn’t either but what the hell.

When we figured out we wanted to get married, we didn’t discuss where or when right away. When we did, we were surprised to discover we had both been thinking along the same lines: a Vegas wedding performed by Elvis. But he had one other requirement: not only did Elvis have to sing, he also had to perform the ceremony.
