Hitched in Vegas

My dear wife has the knack for finding what I sometimes call train wreck TV. By this I mean, shows whose hook it watching people make fools of themselves. Last night she did it again. On the Style Network, there is a show called "Hitched in Vegas." Sit back and relax as you watch people make lasting commitments in the drive thru. Just like all good train wrecks, as much as you might like to look a way, you just can't as couple after couple send fear through your heart as you worry "How soon until they breed?". Interspersed throughout the show are interviews of people on the street in Vegas reacting to the idea of the wedding chapel industry. One of my favorite moments came when a lady working the counter at one of the chapels talks about how they make the experience of getting married there so much classier that people imagine, all the while referring to her job as one where she "sells" weddings. Yup, that sure is classy!
