Madonna and Stephan Johnson met on a cruise on September 5^th, 18 years ago. They ended up falling in love and getting married three years later. So now, on September 5^th, 2011, they decided to renew their vows in front of their family members and closest friends. They travelled all the way from Queensland, Australia to have a one-month vacation where they are going travel all around America, while being accompanied by their two boys. During this time, they made sure to make a short stop in Las Vegas to renew their vows. What a great way to celebrate 18 years of life and love together!

Fun from the U.K.

Robert and Sandra and their two children flew in from Hertfordshire to get married after being together for 20 years. They were such a fun couple and by far one of my favorite weddings that I have coordinated. It wasn’t that they had an over-the-top ceremony, it was very intimate and simple, but Robert and Sandra had such a wonderful spirit to them that I will remember them for years to come.

A Story to Marvel At

Anthony and Emily Marvel have quite the Wedding Day story to go along with answering the question, “How was your morning so far?” After introducing myself to them, I asked the now-infamous question and Anthony proceeded to tell me about what happened earlier that day. Anthony asked their hotel to dry clean his white shirt so it’s perfect on their wedding day. The hotel ended up losing his white button-up shirt, and instead gave him a collared white shirt on loan for him to wear to the wedding. That’s not the end, yet!

Hollywood Glamour and celebrity look-alikes

Actually, Andrew and Meredith are not celebrity look-alikes as their job or even as a hobby. However, when Meredith walked through the door of the Magnolia Chapel, I thought Marilyn Monroe had reincarnated herself and was coming in to marry Ricky Ricardo (except he wasn’t Cuban, as their photographer Danette pointed out) or Arnold Schwarzenegger (but without the accent).

Corey and Theresa were married in our Victorian Chapel at 4PM on Saturday, August 6th, 2011. The couple arrived with only four guests, making it a very intimate celebration of their wedding. When Corey and Theresa arrived at the chapel, we went over a few details for the ceremony, and then they met with their minister, Jerry, and their photographer, Megan.

Trenton and Karina Laurance were on vacation from Carlton, Australia. They first visited Trenton’s brother in New York, and then decided to visit Las Vegas. One night, before going to see Penn & Teller, Trenton took Karina to a very nice dinner. Little did she know that he was about pop the question. As they were eating dinner, he simply asked Karina if she would marry him! Needless to say, she was super surprised and automatically said ‘YES!’

Gareth and Natalie were married on July 6, 2011, in our Victorian Chapel. It was just the two of them which made it more intimate and personal. Natalie was glowing when she walked into the chapel for the first time. Natalie’s dress, hair, makeup – everything, looked flawless. Gareth looked handsome as well in his gray suit. They were both excited for their wedding day to become a reality!

A Special Moment in Time

After the wedding ceremony had taken place and the pictures were in progress, Luis sat at the piano in the candle lite LaCapella Chapel and played the most beautiful rendition of Clare de Lune to his lovely bride, Elizabeth.

Say Hey I Love You

Donny and Deb were married on the 4th of July in our Magnolia Chapel! Donny and Deb were so fun to get to know. First of all, I loved the color they chose – PINK! My favorite color is pink and it looked so flattering on both of them. They had been planning to get married for a year and now it has happened.
