Posted February 12, 200817 yr No, I'm not talking about my fantasies cos that's another story I'll save till later :yahoo: When I married Elvis: For nearly 50 years Charlotte Richards has embodied Las Vegas, the self-styled "wedding capital of the world". As a young woman she made a name for herself among the great and the good as a wedding organiser par excellence. And over the better part of the last three decades, she has owned and operated the Little White Wedding Chapel, the most famous business of its type in the world on a sprawling site at the unfashionable end of Las Vegas Boulevard. This is a business in which nothing sells like celebrity. Richards has married off more famous couples than a busload of archbishops. Frank Sinatra and Mia Farrow, Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, Jack and Vera Duckworth: they have all said their vows in her presence. When "my dear, precious Elvis" married Priscilla at the Aladdin Hotel back in 1967, Richards was there to ensure there were no hitches. "I was his wedding co-ordinator," she recalls. "I got the judge, the flowers, his cake, everything. And I made sure that everything ran well. Many times my husband Merle and I had been with Elvis before he was married. This wasn't just somebody we arranged a wedding for. This was someone who was tender and warm. His music was an example of the tenderness of his heart." http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y48/elvis1959/elvis-wedding1x.jpg Richards was also on hand again when Sinatra married Farrow. She recalls a phone call from the wife of comedian Red Skelton. "She said, There's something we've got to do.' We went over to the Sands Hotel, and we had to decorate it just so, because she said, It's Frankie's wedding and he's going to be married tomorrow'." But isn't a wedding meant to be forever in the eyes of God? "Well, I'd like to be able to believe that," she says. "Unfortunately, I can't go home with them and say, No, don't do that!' Some people are not who they think they are when they get married. People think they're in love, but some are not. "I've seen it all. I've heard it all. And I love it all. Except when they come back and say, It's me again'." Richards pulls a shocked face, as she falls into an imaginary conversation with a bride-to-be. "I say, Oh no - what happened?' Well, I chose the wrong one.' I say, Well if at first you don't succeed, try again'. But I pray that this time, it will be the time of your life." (News, Source;E.I.N/Sanja.M)
