How to Get Married in Las Vegas

Kat

August 22, 2016

There are always a lot of questions in the Rock n Roll Bride Facebook group about getting married in Vegas - how to do it, if its legal when you're not from the US, recommendations for suppliers that will do a good job... So I thought a post going through all the ins and outs of the process would be helpful. In the interests of keeping things simple, I'm going to write this in a Q&A format. If you still have questions after reading this article, or you have any of your own advice or recommendations, feel free to pop them in the comments!

While body confidence isn't something you'll just magically be able to come across just in time for your wedding (it's a life-long struggle for a lot of us), marriage counsellor and founder of Mindful Bride to Be, Collin Christine, is here today to talk us through some ways we can all have a positive body image, for your wedding day and beyond.

Dear Kat, I’d love some advice on how to get my fiancé more involved in the wedding planning without being accused of harassing him or being a bridezilla!? Essentially, I want to know how we can make it fun for both of us and not appear to be a chore. I’m happy doing most of the organising, but when it comes to the stuff I can’t really do (such as his suit) or things I need his input on (the guest list, the music, the food) he just rolls his eyes, huffs and gets annoyed! Help!

My favourite kinds of articles to publish are the ones where I can give some really practice wedding planning advice. It was the kind of content I really craved when I was organising our own wedding because wedding magazines didn't ever seem to delve any deeper than "How to choose the right wedding dress for your shape" and "10 things he does that proves he really loves you" (give me strength!)

I’m a Bridesmaid & I’ve Been Asked to Dye My Hair & Lose Weight For the Wedding…

Hi Kat My best friend is getting married really soon and I'm a bridesmaid. She has asked me to dye my hair dark brown or black, and to lose 10kgs for the wedding. Now I know that may not seem like a big deal but since leaving high school I have always channelled my personality into my hair. I've had pink hair for the last five years and switch it up occasionally with purple, blue, or green. I really don't want to have my hair coloured darker as its such a pain in the ass to go through the whole bleaching process again. Am I being over sensitive? Or is the bride's word the law? As for the weight loss I understand she wants me to look thin in the pictures, but I like the weight and body shape I have now. I feel like if she knew me and loved me she'd accept the way I look and the way I am. This is seriously stressing me out and making me quite depressed. Any advice?

When you get engaged, inevitably your mind quickly becomes encompassed by things such as guest lists and table plans, dresses and shoes, flowers and cake. Of course all of these things are important to pulling off a beautiful wedding, but what are you doing to make sure you pull off an even more beautiful marriage?

Let's not beat around the bush: Weddings are bloody expensive. There's so much to think about and so many things to pay for, who can blame a girl for wanting to save every penny possible? There are a myriad of ways to plan a wedding at a pinch, but what if you've got your heart set on something in particular that doesn't fit in with your very strict budget? Is it ever OK to ask for a discount and if you do will those suppliers get mortally offended?

I was chatting to my newly engaged sister last week who told me there was no way in hell she'd be doing a first dance and that come to think of it, walking down the aisle seemed mortifying and silly too. "But you have to walk in somehow," I replied, "you can't just 'poof!' and appear at the end of the aisle!"

Your Wedding Does Not Have To Be The ‘Best Day Of Your Life’

Don't get me wrong, a wedding is undoubtedly a very important day, but it is not your one shot at happiness or your singular life defining moment. By that I mean, even if the day was a complete disaster and everything that could go wrong did, the actual act of getting married is just one little flash in a life full of potentially joyful occasions!

Self Esteem, Body Confidence and Learning to Love Yourself

If you've been reading my blog (or following me on Instagram!) for a while you'll probably have already heard of Gala Darling. Not only is she one of my best friends, but I've been raving about her, and her message of Radical Self Love, for quite some time! I first discovered her blog in early 2009 (check out my adorable fangirling) but it wasn't until happenstance enabled us to meet IRL a few years later that I knew we were kindred spirits. There are just some people you meet who instantly light up your life and make the world seem like a more positive, happier place. Gala does this for me every single day and I'm so honoured to call her my friend.

There’s nothing more exciting than planning your wedding, whether you go for a large lavish affair or a more understated, personal day, there is always plenty to think about and arrange! But with all the excitement and celebration going on around you, it's very easy to get caught up in the moment and forget that your wedding is about more than just the day itself.
