Las Vegas - Wedding Chapel/Hitching Post - Mid 1950's

This "found photo" is one of 1000's that I stumbled across at an estate sale. This is a great collection of travel photos from the 1950's and 1960's from across the globe.

Beautiful, beautiful series of photos, but sad also as they are private moments of someone else's life, depicting a world that is no more (somehow).

Avaloncm, thank you very much for sharing!
