Weddings are believed to set the tone for your marriage in some cultures. There are also superstitions that are either a good or bad omen for your marriage. Rain on your wedding day is a good sign. The groom accidentally seeing the bride in her dress, a bad one.
Some may believe in these correlations, but this doesn’t make them fact. Getting hitched in Las Vegas, for instance, may be symbolic of an inevitable failed marriage.
Despite the many, many annulments and divorces that happen after a Sin City wedding – there are a few exceptions to the rule. Here are some of the marriages that have gone the distance in spite of the wedding’s location.
Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas
Yes it’s only been a year, but this couple have already outlasted hundreds, if not thousands, of other Vegas marriages.
Katherine Kelly and Ryan Clark
In 2013 this couple wed in secret in a little ol’ Vegas elopement. The couple is still together 7 years on. The pair have two adorable girls together.
This must be one of the longest standing celeb marriages to have had their wedding in Vegas. The couple wed in 1996 and are still going strong 24 years later.
Jon Bon Jovi and Dorothea Hurley
The couple, who met in high school and fell in love, wed in Vegas in 1989 and are still together today.
Bette Middler and Martin von Haselberg
The couple got hitched in Vegas in 1984 and are still together 36 years later.
