Vegas is a fantastic experience for getting married (we got married there in September) - you'll get the wedding you want at the budget you want and can then have a great party with friends and family when you get home.
The website below has loads of info about getting married there, and includes an article about small weddings in the magazine section.
Have fun!

The way that I look at it is that day is all about you and your to be husband, the guest are a major part of it yes, because you are wanting to share that day with people! You could have the wedding a small one and invite the family and close friends and put more money into a honeymoon. Or just have a little party rather than having a wedding. Eloping is also an option, I have talked it over with my fiance but I am wanting the wedding no matter how many people go.

Congrats to you and your marriage!
I think with the plans that you are looking forward to are good plans. There is nothing wrong with wanting to get married in Vegas. It is the norm to have a big wedding like most people do these days.
And it shouldn't annoy you just because of your friends getting married around the same time. You should be happy for them!
Don't feel bad because you want to be alone with the one your love and you want to celebrate your new marriage with him. You are not going to be 'alone' you are going to be with your husband! (smile)
Vegas can be so brighten with all the bright lights and all the happenings going there. No one sleeps there either! I am sure you two will have so much fun there, especially being together, is what counts.
If your family is good about you having a smashing party when you two get back, then what is to worry about? Your family and friends will still be celebrating your marriage with you anyway.
So, you are doing the right thing, as long you and your husband are happy and as long as you two 'agree' with all of this.
Again, congrats to you and may you both have a blessed marriage together and may you both meet each others needs too!
By the way, do consider reading this book called, "The Proper Care and Feeding of Marriage". You two will enjoy this book together! (smile)

That is a very personal choice. Personally I would think it is nice to at least have your most important friends and family members. Perhaps you can just invite a couple of friends to come along, or go somewhere closer to home and pay for their tickets. Vegas is very superficial and materialistic, it is fun if all you want to do is gamble, eat and see shows. If you are looking for something more romantic, then this is not the place. The perform weddings in an 'assembly line' fashion. If you are from Australia, have your wedding on a beautiful beach with some friends and family and then come to Vegas on your honeymoon. However, of course, this is just an opinion...

My cousin just did that recently. nobody had any idea until we got post cards. They said they wouldn't have done it any other way. The simple fact is that you dont need anyone else there but your husband.
I had the big wedding and honestly, if I had my turn again I would do it oversees there can be alot of stress not to mention money involved in a wedding. And I for one would love to have a couple of weeks exploring and experiencing with my hubby than to spend the equivelant on one day.
My cousin came back and had a party with his family, and the bride and groom wore what they did on their overseas holiday. They did a slide show of the photos of the day it was great. If you want to do it, then I say do it ultimately it is a day that you and your hubby will remember far and above those who attend your wedding. Your wedding is for you, so I say do it your way.

I have been married two times. First wedding was a small family back yard wedding and I hated every minute of it. I was nervous and I could not focus. I am one that hates having all eyes on me. My second marriage we eloped and it was just the two of us. It was more personal and more meaningful. We still dressed very nice and had a very nice honeymoon. We have been married for 5 years and still going.

We were eloping but at the last minute invited ONLY immediate family,Parents,grandparents and siblings.We just told them all what we were doing and where,and they could come if they wanted(or could afford it.)We had a mini reception dinner(no cake or traditional stuff) at a restaurant and then a huge party the weekend after we got home.I just couldn't get married without my mum and sister.

eloping should be fun. vegas should be fun. why would it be lonely? isn't the point of eloping to get away? maybe you shouldn't do it if you are going to be missing other people when all you should be thinking about is your man!

No, you won't be lonely for sure, especially in Vegas. I got married in Vegas just me and my husband and we had great time for ourselves. Well, a year later we had the reception for family and friends in Bali.
