Vegas 11/11/11 weddings: Celebrating with The King

Gord Noren and Nicole Noren, both from Warren, Manitoba, dance in the parking lot of the Howard Johnson hotel while Elvis impersonator Eddie Powers sings. The Norens had just gotten married at a chapel inside the Howard Johnson, and gathered with  friends, Elvis, and a 1956 Cadillac to celebrate the occasion.

"We've been planning this since January 2, right after New Years," Gord Noren says. "We were hung over and said, 'Let's get married!'."

Why 11/11/11? "It's all ones... We knew we wouldn't forget our anniversary," he said. Gord Noren literally married the girl next door, as he bought a house next door five years ago.
