520 $a This thesis is an ethnographic study of a contemporary wedding form found in Las Vegas, Nevada. The study explores the significance of this unique ritual form, and considers its relation to the fabric of contemporary American culture.
520 $a My analysis of the Las Vegas wedding ritual will offer a "decisive key to understanding the social realities perceived and lived" by Americans by exploring both the meaning of such a choice for one's marriage, and the impact of the Las Vegas wedding itself as a contemporary ritual. (Turner, 1969:9) Utilizing several levels of analysis, I examine those characteristics peculiar to the Vegas wedding, and relate those specific characteristics to the larger culture in terms of their function in the expression of individuality and the subsequent negation of the most essential socially cohesive aspects of the wedding ritual.
