The Strip's Next Top Wedding: Amy Winehouse and Her Blaaake (Again)
Ugh. Normally we’re (one of three) fans of Katie Price, but today we’re cursing her after the news that Amy Winehouse is planning on visiting Vegas and getting married – again – to her dealer ex-husband Blake Fielder Civil. Why did you have to give them the idea, Price-manator?
Last time, of course, it was Miami. And because that marriage went so swimmingly, they’ve decided to re-do it in America again. According to Holy Moly:
Amy doesn't want a traditional ceremony and wants it to be similar to their first wedding. She chose not to marry in Miami again because she thinks it could be a bad omen. They have agreed on Vegas.
But at least we can’t see the Wynn being defiled this time. Wino’s such a famewhore that she’ll want to go where she can be papped, plus they’ll most likely be too drongoed out to wrap (hoho) a magazine deal that would necessitate hiding themselves away. Also, they probably wouldn't do a cheap mag deal anyway, on the grounds that their-luv-aint-for-sale-or-somefing.

Katie Price and Alex Reid's Wynn Wedding: Where They Done It
Katie buys the ring. The hat? We blame jet lag
Remember the charming couple we told you to keep an eye out for yesterday morning as they arrived in Vegas? Remember how we said they might be here to get married? Well they’ve only gone and done it, haven’t they?
After sexyman Norm Clarke tweeted this afternoon that the word on the Strip was about the Price’s impending nuptials, we sped our way down to Planet Hollywood, where she and lovah Alex Reid were shacking up.

Has Anyone Seen This Charming Pair?
By “pair” we mean Katie and Alex, not Katie’s pair
UPDATE: They're married! At the Wynn, at 4pm today (Tuesday). Just as we were hunting them down in the chapels.
Today is a special (read: trashtastic) day for the Strip. Stephanie Pratt is hosting tonight at Pure. Over at Moon, they’re having a giveaway of Fergie Footwear. But most importantly, most crucially, Katie Price has arrived in Vegas.
If you haven’t seen the Price before, and you’re thinking she looks like a slightly more wizened version of what you’d see down Tao on a Saturday night, you’re wrong. This woman is a phenomenon. In a nutshell, she made millions as Britain’s top glamour model, Jordan, in the early 2000s, then reinvented herself as Katie Price, supermum, horse-rider and loving wife to Australia’s drippiest émigré, Peter Andre.

How to Propose in Style in Vegas: At the Bellagio, On Camera, Tweeted Live
Where would you propose in Vegas? Up the Eiffel Tower? At the Las Vegas sign? Under the cowboy on Fremont Street with an Elvis impersonator crooning in the background? (We’d like our ring in some mash at the Crown and Anchor. Just FYI.)
One couple last night kept it classic with a proposal in front of the Bellagio fountains, but added a cutting edge twist by getting the whole shebang photographed and subsequently uploaded on Twitter and Facebook, seeing as they unwittingly asked a social media maven to take the photo.
@skydiver – AKA Peter Shankman – was watching the fountains when he was asked to take a photo of a couple. When the guy got on one knee, he kept snapping. And uploaded the results to Facebook this morning. Now if they'd skipped straight off and did the deed at one of the chapels, that would really be beautiful.

Going to the Chapel, Over 200 Times a Day, in Las Vegas
If you're the type of bride-to-be who doesn't want to deal with any other brides on your wedding day, then um, don't get married in Vegas sister.
According to the Las Vegas marriage statistics about 108,963 applications for marriage licenses were filed in 2007 for Clark County. When you break that down, about 298 couples got married every day and you have to assume a lot of that is happening for weddings in Las Vegas--provided the couples go through with the "I Do"s before the tequila shots wear off.
In 2009, that number dropped down to 92,725 which is still about 254 couples getting married a day.
Of course, most folks are probably getting married on the weekends, especially the drunk in love kinds, and it's not typical to see wedding parties parade through the casino on a Monday. But since we know that everything is cheaper during the week, we can understand if couples get married during the week instead. We just can't understand having Elvis as the officiant.

Meet the Miltons: Paris and Piers Pretend to Tie the Knot in Vegas
Ooh, what a relief. For a minute when we saw this pic, we thought Vegas weddings had claimed a pair of scalps even more gruesome than the Peaches Geldof-Max Drummey coupling. Had Paris Hilton and Piers Morgan really got married?
Luckily, turns out it was all a joke. Or rather, a stunt to promote his new TV show, Piers Morgan in Las Vegas. Although they did run through the full 15 minute ceremony, and take their vows at the Little Church of the West. The only thing they didn't do is sign for it. Any chance someone could find a legal loophole that makes them actually properly married?
Anyway, if you too fancy doing a Milton (actually, that has a ring to it), services at the chapel start from $60, or you can get a slightly less basic Let's Elope package for $199 plus minister's fee. For that, they'll let you and 10 guests into the chapel and give you an 8x10 pic and "custom-designed certificate holder". Who wouldn't want to join the ranks of the famously happy Angelina and Billy Bob, Richard Gere and Cindy Crawford and Bob Geldof and Paula Yates?
In the mean time, shame on you Piers. We expected better of you than faking photos. Oh.

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

Last Minute Lovebirds May Win a Honeymoon Stay at Las Vegas Hilton
Hey all you cash-strapped, last minute love birds. If you’re getting hitched between now and early December, Las Vegas Hilton is offering a Twitter promotion that may help with your honeymoon efforts.
The hotel is giving away ten 3-night getaways for the weekend of December 7-9, 2009, plus a pair of tickets to the National Finals Rodeo. (We’re not so sure that extra perk adds to the romance factor, but maybe if rodeo is your thing, it’s the perfect foreplay.)
Here’s what interested honeymooners need to do to participate:
• Follow Las Vegas Hilton on Twitter.
• Fill out the entry form on the hotel’s website here.
• Stay tuned to Twitter between now and October 23, 2009 to see if you and your sweetie are winners.
• Click here for all the official rules.
But apologies in advance if you were wanted to see Barry Manilow during your romantic trip. The crooner just announced his engagement at the Las Vegas Hilton is over. Rumors are he's going to set up shop on the Strip at the Paris Las Vegas. Ooo la la.

Ivanka Trump Giving Away a Three-Night Stay at Trump LV for a Lucky Bride
Ivanka Trump jewelry catalogs can be found in-room at the Trump Las Vegas.
Looks like Ivanka Trump is not afraid to reach out to the masses. Our sister site, HotelChatter, reported last week that Ivanka would be giving one lucky Twitter follower a chance to win a two-night stay at the Trump Soho in New York as well as attend a fancy schmancy gala to celebrate the hotel's opening.
But if NYC isn't in your destination plans, Brides.com reports that Ivanka is offering one lucky bride a pair of 18K gold wedding bands from the Ivanka Trump Collection, $500 gift cards to Ivanka Trump Collection for members of your wedding party, a complimentary consultation with Trump Event experts and a three-night stay at the Trump Las Vegas.

Getting Hitched in the Time of Recession: $99 Buys You Love
Christina Milian may not have wanted to wait any longer but 09-09-2009 seems like a nice day for a $99 wedding and La Bella Wedding Chapel at The Las Vegas Hilton is making it super easy for your Sin City hook up to turn into a budget-friendly hitch up.
H-h-hello, Brit Brit and Jason Alexander shotgun “I do’s” circa 2004! Going round two down the aisle? 09-09-2009 is a nice day to start again. Or maybe we should be slightly less cynical and consider that some of you lovebirds may actually be legit, but feeling cash-strapped in this tough economy.

Now’s the Time to Book Your 9-9-09 Wedding
A few weeks back, we told you about the Stratosphere’s 99-couple wedding extravaganza to take place on September 9, but by no means are they the only ones looking to capitalize on the triple-digit significance of that date. With 9/9/09 now officially less than one month away, everyone’s getting on the bandwagon.
Among the wedding venues offering 9/9/09-themed packages are none other than the upscale Bellagio, which is featuring a $5,000 9/9/09 package inclusive of one hour’s chapel time, floral arrangements, Dom Perignon champagne, Jean Philippe Maury chocolates, photography, DVDs of the ceremony and limo transport for the bride and groom to downtown’s Marriage License Bureau. At that price, the additional inclusion of two complimentary buffets for bride and groom seems a bit beside the point (couldn’t they have swung a romantic dinner-for-two at Picasso or something?), but that’s just us.

The Roaming Gnome Makes The Most of His Time in Vegas
We bet The Roaming Gnome sure is glad voters voted to send him off to Fabulous Las Vegas instead of Atlantic City the other week. Not only did he get to shack up at the Encore (for $179 a night) and get on stage with Carrot Top and watch the men of Thunder from Down Under and dine at Joel Robuchon, he also married Playboy playmate and Peepshow star Holly Madison. And here's the photographic evidence.
The Roaming Gnome also wrote to his fans to tell them the good news:
I recently got back from a smashing trip to Las Vegas, as part of my Summer of Possibilities tour, during which the chaps and chapesses of this marvelous country are voting where I vacation. (Want a go? You can have your say on my next trip at http://www.travelocity.com) As you can imagine, I had a rather splendid time, so I thought I’d pop in and tell you all about it.
But first, an announcement: I am now a married man. Yes indeed, I tied the knot, took the plunge, got myself an old ball and chain. The lovely lady, in fact, is none other than Peepshow star and former playmate Holly Madison! (My word, I know, I couldn’t believe my luck either. Pinch me!)
Anyone want to go digging through the Clark County records to make sure this marriage is legit? Yeah, we thought so. Remember, there are 24-hour wedding chapels in Vegas but the registrar's office is only open until midnight. Otherwise: No license, no dice. Or well, no legal marriage.
