The “Wedding Queen of The West”of Las Vegas weddings for the past 60 years is selling her matrimonial fortress.

A Little White Chapel owner Charolette Richards has sold her iconic business at 1301 Las Vegas Blvd. South, the deal closing Tuesday morning. The sale marks the end of an era, as Richards estimates the business has performed about a million weddings since opening in 1961.

But it is not the end of the “I dos,” as A Little White Chapel will still tie the knots under the stewardship of buyer Cliff Evarts, CEO and founder of the Vegas Weddings matrimonial haven.
