If
you’re in love AND love burgers – listen up! Smashburger is giving one lucky
couple the opportunity to get married in Las Vegas on the auspicious date of
11/12/13. Couples are encouraged to create a Vine video showing their love for
burgers AND each other with the hashtag #SmashWedding. (Entrants must then
publish their posts to www.Facebook.com/Smashburger or Twitter @Smashburger.)
That’s when they’ll be entered to win airfare for two, a real wedding
officiated by “Elvis” at Smashburger in Las Vegas, as well as hotel
accommodations and tickets to the elaborate retro-glam showgirl extravaganza,
“Jubilee!” provided by Bally’s Las Vegas.
Everyone
knows Las Vegas is the wedding capital of the world and “magic dates,” such as
those with repeating (12/12/12) or consecutive (11/12/13) numbers, are
extremely popular for weddings. According to David’s Bridal, more than 7,500
U.S. couples wed on 12/12/12, compared to just 485 in 2011. In addition, a
survey by TheKnot.com and WeddingChannel.com shows that casual weddings are on
the rise; nuptials described as “casual” climbed 30 percent between 2009 and
2011.
“With
11/12/13 set to be one of the last ‘magic dates’ on the calendar this century,
and with more people than ever opting for casual weddings, we knew we had to
have some fun on social media and celebrate people’s love of burgers,” says
Stacie Lange, senior vice president of communications, Smashburger. “We are
celebrating love in a big way this year because Smashburger is a place for all
occasions- date night is certainly one of them. When’s the last time you took a
date to McDonald’s?”

-Wedding
officiated by an Elvis impersonator at a Smashburger location in Las Vegas on
Tuesday, Nov. 12, 2013 at 10 a.m.
