Unholy matrimony on A & E

The Good Book tells us that marriage is to be entered into reverently and not to be taken lightly. But nobody said anything about being married by a justice dolled up as Elvis, the Godfather or Austin Powers. “Married in Vegas” (9 p.m., A&E) chronicles the oddly colorful characters who toil in the gambling mecca’s wedding industry.

Ron, one of the “stars” of “Vegas,” is a regular multitasker: He can double as both Elvis and Merlin. He also cleans out the bathrooms for his blushing brides and eager grooms.

Folks like Ron perform an average of 315 weddings per day, including well-thought-out “theme” ceremonies as well as sloppy ceremonies between impulsive brides and grooms, who may or may not remember that they’ve tied the knot. It’s a good thing that Reno, once known as America’s divorce capital, is located in the very same state.
