Valentine's Day heats up in Las Vegas at world famous wedding chapels

As is true today, Las Vegas chapels are very busy every Valentine's Day. That said, evidence is provided by certain nuptials enjoyed by A Little White Wedding Chapel with its owner, Charlotte Richards, reporting to the Las Vegas Sun on Feb. 14 that during one particular Valentine’s Day, she officiated while a whopping 127 couples tied the knot on just this one romantically designed day.

According to this Sin City source, Richards calls Valentine’s Day "her Super Bowl." By the time the holiday is officially done in 2013 (which means when her chapel closes at 2 a.m. on Feb. 15), she will have helped some 100 couples get married at A Little White Wedding Chapel.

That 's a lot of white dresses, bouquets of flowers, and happily ever afters.

In fact, many sources say that Valentine's Day is the most popular wedding date in Sin City, with the numbers at high levels all year long in a happening Western town where some 125,000 marriage licenses have been recorded as being purchased every year.

But that's not surprising. After all, this destination is a place where it doesn't take much preparation before saying, "I do."

Indeed, according to the Clark County Nevada site, if you're a US citizen, all you need is proof of age in an official document like a passport or a birth certificate and parental consent if either party is younger than 18 years of age. There is nothing else you'll be expected to deal with, which means there's no blood test requirement and there's no waiting period either.

So, with all this in mind for those who want to get their nuptials said and done in a hurry and in a place that's expert at taking care of business in just what way, where else besides A Little White Chapel is a good place to say your vows on Valentine's Day (or, any other day, for that matter) in Las Vegas?

Consider even more jiffy venues in the Entertainment Capital of the World for just which such spontaneous circumstances are begging to bring blushing couples together in a completely official way.
