Las Vegas. To do this our main objective splits into two smaller tasks. The first is to combat stigma surrounding a Las Vegas wedding. It is important to show the couples who may have a biased perception of Las Vegas that, yes, there are the cheesy Elvis weddings, yes Las Vegas is a party city, and yes, sometimes people wake up after a bender laying next to a stranger who they decided to marry the night before, but there is so much more than just the stereotypical perception of the city. The corny, wild, and reckless view is an incredibly skewed portrayal that fails to capture the vast reality. Once couples can dismiss this bias, we can present all of the different wedding experiences that Vegas has to offer to a couple that is more open minded than they may have been initially.

timber, the fire spread too fast to extinguish. Even though the fire was ruinous, Seattle emerged from the ashes stronger than before. The city was rebuilt in brick and stone which inherently stimulated the economy, providing thousands of new jobs.
