Johnny Weissmuller

Here are some more information for Johnny Weissmuller:

Las Vegas is always associated with casinos. But second to that, another thing that makes it famous are the Las Vegas weddings. One of the celebrities who first tied the knot in this renowned casino resort is actor Johnny Weissmuller who did it in 1933. Today, over 100,000 couples go to this part of Nevada to exchange matrimonial vows. A few end up getting married just because they are in Las Vegas and they don't want to miss the opportunity to get married here.

Las Vegas has lots of wedding chapels and hotels that host marriages. One of the most popular places to get married is at the Graceland Wedding Chapel. An Elvis impersonator would be there to witness your marriage. Other places that offer wedding services are the Little White Wedding Chapel, and Little Church of the West.

Following Johnny Weissmuller's footsteps, other celebrities have also gone here to get married. Some of them include Axl Rose, Brigitte Bardot, Frank Sinatra, Melanie Griffith, Paul Newman, Joan Collins, Jon Bon Jovi, Steffi Graf, Richard Gere, Diana Ross, Bette Midler, Clint Eastwood, David Cassidy, Britney Spears, Noel Gallagher, and many more.

Celebrities and straight people are not the only ones who go here to tie the knot. Las Vegas also offers gay and lesbian weddings. Apart from that, couples can enjoy different themed weddings to make the event extra special. Theme ideas that you can choose from include Egyptian pharaoh, Star Trek, Hawaiian, or Venetian. Couples choose whatever it is that their hearts desire.
