Las Vegas has always had a reputation for spontaneous weddings, but for alternative couples, a Vegas wedding offers something more useful: flexibility. You can build a day that looks however you want it to. Wear what you like. Invite who you want. Keep it small. Go all out. Skip the traditions or invent your own. Vegas can take it.

Planning a wedding can be a super stressful time for everyone, but when you have a chronic illness or disability, added stress can also have a huge impact on your physical health. So how do you navigate wedding planning and all the inevitable stresses that it brings while keeping yourself as healthy as possible? Yes, you can take the outlook that most alternative wedding suppliers promote of ‘your day, your way’ and try to make the planning as fun as possible but this only really is the first step when you have a long-term condition.

Wedding Content Creators: What They Actually Do (And Why You Might Want One)

By now, you’ve probably seen those viral “wedding recap” reels on TikTok or Instagram – the ones that somehow appear just hours after the ceremony. The ones that make you go: Wait, how did they already post that?! Well, there’s a good chance a wedding content creator was behind it. A wedding content creator is a service provider who creates primarily video content on their phones. The idea is you have a skilled person who is capturing all of the moments of a wedding, candidly. That is also the person, a couple would put in charge of recreating any trending videos or transitions, lip syncs, etc. They often provide clips in a quick turn around, so the couple can share their wedding “in real time” or within a the few days after, on their social media. Some wedding content creators even offer a wedding day takeover, so they really are posting the wedding day in real time. We spoke to Falon Mei of Vegas Wedding Content Creator all about this rising, and sometimes controversial, new trend.

As a gay, non-gender conforming couple, tradition wasn’t something AJ and Ryan felt obligated to follow. That freedom shaped every part of their day into something intimate and imaginative. "We had no expectations on us so we could make it our own, start our own traditions", they wrote. "We skipped pretty much all of the normal wedding traditions bar not seeing each other the night before the wedding. We kept that one for the excitement and to give each other space to decompress after the hectic build up."
