Las Vegas, the world’s wedding capital, has officiated over 100,000 marriages annually and celebrated over 5 million weddings in 70 years. The city has witnessed a truly unique trend among couples celebrating weddings on palindrome dates. These dates, marked by their mirror-like symmetry, are not just dates; they are moments of exclusivity and intrigue, adding a special touch to a wedding day.
Palindromes in Context
2024 promises to be a remarkable year for weddings, with palindromic dates such as 4-2-0-2-0-2-4 or 4/20/024. This palindromic date falls on a Saturday, coinciding with the global cannabis celebration on ‘4/20 ‘. April is a treasure trove of palindromes, with other palindromic days falling every day from 4/20/24 to 4/29/24. It’s going to be a huge week for weddings.
Palindromic wedding dates are not new to Las Vegas and have proved extremely popular. 7/7/7, popularly known as “Lucky 7s,” currently holds the record for most weddings in a day, with 4,492 couples tying the knot in Las Vegas. The date is followed closely by 11/11/11, with 3,125 weddings. Similarly, 2/22/22 had 2,331 weddings, making it the city’s sixth most popular wedding day despite a pandemic.
What Las Vegas Offers for Weddings
If you want to marry your significant other this April 20th, Las Vegas is one of the best destinations. Thanks to Nevada’s lax laws promoting marriage, getting married in the city is easy. You can get married in as little as two hours of landing in the town. All you need is a photo ID of you and your spouse and $102 for your license.
Las Vegas offers a plethora of wedding venues, from iconic chapels to world-class resorts, ensuring there’s a perfect spot for every couple. Regardless of the date, you’ll find a unique venue to host your wedding. Many wedding chapels provide a range of packages to suit different styles and themes. Some packages even include witnesses, wedding photos, and the option to stream special moments to friends and family.
If you arrive at the last minute; don’t worry. You can still have your ceremony! Finding a venue is easy, especially if you’re willing to have a more casual or zany get-together.
Remain Sober to Cement Your Wedding
Despite 4/20/024 also dabbling as 4/20 day couples can’t be visibly intoxicated. That is because Clark County strictly prohibits individuals from marrying or getting a marriage incense while under the influence. Of course, it’s tough to prove if you’re acting normally.
