All day and evening long on the Strip, one sees actual wedding parties, standing uneasily in the parking lot of the Frontier while the photographer hired by The Little Church of the West (“Wedding Place of the Stars”) certifies the occasion. “When I Fall in love It Will Be Forever,” the organist plays, and then a few bars of Lohengrin. The mother cries; the stepfather, awkward in his role, invites the chapel hostess to join them for a drink at the Sands.
1. Where are" the Sands" and "the Frontier"?Are they special locations in Las Vegas?
2.Why does the writer say it's "actual"wedding and how to understand the parents' different reactions?
3.What are "a few bars of Lohengrin"?Are they food brand or an album name?
THANKS!
