Mix Weddings with Vegas and Halloween and What Do You Get? Gothic Weddings

Where: 1205 Las Vegas Blvd. South [map], 89104

OMG. From wherever you're reading this column, we bet you heard our belly-aching laughter when we came across Gothic Weddings' website. A rather timely discover, too, with Halloween right around the corner.

The wedding chapel serves up all sorts of spooky wedding packages -- imagine geting hitched in a fog-filled wedding chapel with flickering candlelight. Cue the eerie organ music as the missus to-be walks down the aisle with a bouquet of yep, blood red roses.

With packages like Dracula's Tomb, Rocky's Horror Weddings, and When Vampires Fly (with Stratosphere Hotel and Casino aerialists, Kathy and Case), the nail-biting options are just endless. You can have the Grim Reaper perform your ceremony, cemetary themed props, or even Minister Frankenfurter perform "I Am Just a Sweet Transvestite" -- all with a live webcast of your nuptials for friends and family members sorely missing out on the freak show fun.

Our fave package, though, is the Halloween Wedding Package, where in an only-in-Vegas, hokey twist Gothic Weddings calls upon the spirits of the dead to bring back Elvis to perform your Las Vegas wedding ceremony. Uh huh.

Anyway, the package includes a traditional minister, "haunting" music and decor, a floral presentation of two black roses, matchy match boutonnieres, 24 poses/proofs viewable online, 8 candid ceremony prints, a "gruesome" video of the ceremony, live internet webcast during ceremony, and the zinger -- complimentary round-trip limo service from any Strip or Downtown hotel (don't forget to tip your driver!). The price to say "I do" scary style will cost $475, and if you want Elvis to do the deed, will set you back an additional $150.

If you're thinking Halloween Eve is your night to get hitched, book it now, because it's one of the most popular nights of the year for Gothic Weddings. Call (702) 384-0771 or 1 (800) 574-4450. If you do decide to say "I do," be sure to let us know -- we'd love to rubberneck the cyber festivities.
