In news to absolutely no one, weddings are really expensive. This plain fact has forced crafty brides to DIY everything from wedding centerpieces to thrifting dinner plates. However, in an unlikely union, Hellmann's (yes, the mayo folks) want to provide one lucky couple with a free Vegas wedding.

Las Vegas embraced the image, adding Elvis impersonators, drive-thru ceremonies and themed chapels to the mix. It's still a favorite for couples wanting a fun, fuss-free and slightly rebellious way to say "I do" without all the planning and pressure of a traditional Wants to Help a Couple Get Hitched in Vegas first appeared on Parade Home & Garden on Jun 4, 2025
