Vegas chapels gamble on quickie-wedding packages for 12-12-12

12/12/2012

It's 12-12-12, and quickie-wedding venues in Las Vegas hope it's their lucky day. Hit hard by the recession and competition, Vegas chapels have cranked into high marketing gear to entice couples to roll the dice on a lifetime of love with a triple-digit wedding date. The 12-12-12 wedding packages aren't cheap — some are three times the regular price — but they do come with a special Chinese numerological spin. "One is considered a yang number, while two is considered a yin number. Combining the two can offer new couples balance," notes a marketing firm offering a package that includes the use of a private jet and glitzy jewelry for the wedding party. At $1,212,120, that one's definitely for high-rollers only. [Source]
