A vignette of 80 plus wedding ceremonies which I performed over the years at various casinos, in helicopters, Las Vegas outdoor locations, and Las Vegas wedding chapels. Ceremonies were drawn from true life events: humorous, sentimental, unusual and unpredictable. Book contains 7 wedding ceremonies in back, is formatted in a wedding ceremony liturgy and contains vintage wedding certificates and antique pictures. Also contained within its pages is information about marrying in Las Vegas.

This is a wonderful book that you will find yourself chuckling through. One is transported to all the little inside ways and wonders of Vegas wedding Chapels. From the hilarious to the unbelievable right up to incredibly beautiful ceremonies listed in the back,this book covers it all. A real treat ! I can't wait to read more of this author!

2.0 out of 5 stars If you want to know what a Las Vegas officant is thinking..., August 8, 2002

This review is from: I Do In Las Vegas (Paperback)

while performing a wedding, then get this book. I thought it would be a sort of guidebook to wedding chapels in Las Vegas. I skimmed thru the book only to find that it is merly just a diary of a Las Vegas officiant. Information on 'Getting married in Las Vegas' is buried somewhere within the stories of the various weddings that Bishop Foster has performed. I have never been to Las Vegas, and am planning a wedding there, I did *not* find this book of any help whatsoever.
There are 8 scripts for wedding ceremonies, all 8 have references to 'god', and since I was not blessed with the belief in 'god' I found the scripts to be of no use. Even the 'Ceremony of Union' had references to 'god'...a bit hypocritical in my opinion.
I suppose if you had married long ago in Las Vegas, or are a sentimental type you would like this book. For me, with a busy schedule, I don't have time to actually sit down and 'read' a book thoroughly to search out the tips that are included. If I was given the book as a gift I would probably read it....then sell it here.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent view from a different perspective, November 5, 2002

This review is from: I Do In Las Vegas (Paperback)

I found Bishop Foster's book while searching Las Vegas wedding sites. Her unique frame of reference of her many weddings performed in Las Vegas was as touching as it was humorous. My fiance and I planned our wedding using some of the information from the wedding ceremonies in the back of the book. It was a most beautiful day! I highly recommend Bishop Foster's unique "Chicken soup" type of book to those who think that Las Vegas is only "smoke and mirrors."
