Some Vegas weddings may be null and void

LAS VEGAS, Oct. 18 (UPI) -- Anyone married at the Garden of Love in Las Vegas April 7 entertaining second thoughts may be able to back out because of allegedly forged witness signatures.

Chapel co-owner Cheryl Luell, while trying to get her business license reinstated Wednesday, testified she was out of town that day -- meaning someone must have forged her signature as a witness on 19 marriage licenses, The Las Vegas Sun reported Thursday.

Nevada law requires a witness to be at the ceremony, and it's possible even more marriages may be at risk of being declared null and void, other chapels told the newspaper.

The city yanked the Garden of Love's business license after numerous complaints culminated in a police report labeling it a "public nuisance." The chapel also has come under fire from at least one couple who claim it failed to provide a $3,000 reception as promised; by competitors in the quickie-marriage industry for aggressive marketing tactics; and from resort casinos for allegedly falsely intimating to customers it has a business relationship with them.
