Even though the following viewpoint is not very reasonable in my opinion, I thought that I might write in it as to see how I could fair when writing for an opposing viewpoint.
Most people think of Las Vegas as a place to have a time of their lives and do crazy things while having no subsequent regrets. This is idea is often thought of when the phrase "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" is spoken. However, this idea of a place with "no 'time' ... no past and no future" (Didion) does not come to mind when thinking about Las Vegas. To some of these people, Las Vegas is a place of happiness and a sign of true love. I'm talking about the people who get married in Las Vegas. To others, performing such a task is absurd and unthinkable, how someone would even consider doing so. Although to the people themselves, these marriages are "as nice, as [they] hoped and dreamed it [to] be." (Didion) Everyone always loathes and despises these people, only because they themselves are outsiders looking in. If they were to truly experience the unbreakable bond of love between some of the people who are there, then they too would want to get married in Las Vegas. When it comes down to it the only thing that is really important to the people getting married, is being in the presence of each other. All the other materialistic things that go along with typical marriages might seem important and essential to a wedding, but to the marriages that are comprised of true love, these things are irrelevant in the end.
