LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - DECEMBER 31: Head minister Diana Moran officiates a wedding ceremony for Yvan Devergranne (L) and Samantha Castrejon of California as their service dog Xena lies on the floor at the Little White Wedding Chapel on December 31, 2023 in Las Vegas, Nevada. In what could be a record-breaking date for weddings in the city, thousands of couples are expected to get married on the specialty date with the repeating 1-2-3 1-2-3 pattern that also coincides with the New Year's Eve holiday and a weekend. The most popular date for Las Vegas weddings was in 2007, when 4,492 couples exchanged vows on July 7, or 7/7/07. Since 1953, more than five million weddings have been held in the city, when the Daily Herald in London published an article referring to Las Vegas as the "Wedding Capital of the World."
