Contributor Bio(s): Marg, Susan: -

Susan Marg has made many trips to Las Vegas. After beginning to wonder what stories might be found in the city's many wedding chapels, she undertook the research that culminated in this book. She lives with her husband, the author James C. Simmons, in Del Mar, California. They did not get married in Vegas, but they are planning a renewal-of-vows ceremony with an Elvis impersonator for their next anniversary.
