Elvis theme weddings in Vegas could be headed to the “Heartbreak Hotel”

What's Trending with MJ

Getting married by Elvis is to Las Vegas as “peanut butter is to jelly,” but a recent shakeup has dramatically changed that.

Authentic Brands Group, a company that controls the King’s likeness, issued cease-and-desist letters to Las Vegas chapels that offer Elvis theme ceremonies.

That means those quaint little chapels can’t perform the popular ceremony, which is a huge blow to business.

Unless the order is lifted, it could mean the end of getting hitched by someone in a sequined jumpsuit.

The wedding industry generates $2 billion a year for Sin City, and a huge portion of that is from Elvis-themed ceremonies.

It’s not known if the ban extends to Graceland, which performs around sixty-four hundred weddings a year.
