If he can afford to, Doug Wilson will fly to Las Vegas from Connecticut next week to make sure a downtown wedding chapel never marries another couple.
Affording the trip is the big question, Wilson acknowledges.

Please note: There are some amazing wedding chapels in Las Vegas. I highly recommend the Graceland Wedding Chapel. I renewed my wedding vows there with "Elvis" Kent Ripley, and had a wonderful,fun and romantic experience. I'll tell you all about it one of these days.
