Why Las Vegas Garden of Love might be annoying
The series depicts a 40-something divorced man (Rob) and his two sons (Johnny and Joey) living at his niece’s (Cheryl) family’s home.
As expected in a show about a Vegas wedding chapel, it shows various odd couples getting hitched, Elvis impersonators officiating weddings and all sorts of odd events in between.
Odd weddings include an entire wedding party wearing Cubs baseball shirts, deli workers getting married post lunch rush, an Enchanted Forest-themed ceremony, a ‘ghetto’-style celebration, a freight truck driver marrying his lover right in his semi and many more.
The show depicted Rob going through a mid-life crisis (dating various women, gambling, ignoring his boys).
The show lasted only ten episodes.
Why Las Vegas Garden of Love might not be annoying
The central character is a 15-year old young man (Johnny) who acts as a videographer/series narrator for his cousin’s wedding chapel; Rob is his father and the chapel manager is Johnny’s cousin Cheryl.
The people working in the chapel are family members, all sharing a big sense of humor.
Johnny and Joey’s mother is nowhere to be seen as she abandoned them and their father before the three males moved from Wisconsin to Las Vegas.
Traditional weddings have taken place on the series.
The chapel had a cute monkey mascot named Harley.
Rob eventually snapped out of his mid-life woes and focused on his family.
Heartwarming moments include the close relationship between the two brothers, Johnny admitting that Cheryl has become a mother figure in his life, Johnny’s first date and Barbara (Cheryl’s mother, Johnny’s aunt) renewing her marriage vows with husband Chuck.
