"Marrying Abusrd" Joan Didion

This story describes the aberration of marrying in Las Vegas, Nevada. It describes the insanity of getting married in a place that are full of casinos and nightclubs. When I read this story, it felt like this is the complete opposite of what it is like to get married. Getting married in a little chapel may seem like a fantasy, but getting married in a little chapel seems like the people who are getting married; who are mostly young people, just want to get married to get indpendence away from their parents and family. It is just an escape from reality that young people create. The author describes how the little chapels work and that they are chapels that are very competitive with one another to see how many people get married in a particular chapel.
