Amazon’s Post Holiday Party [- the lady]
I learned today that Amazon’s post holiday party is on Jan 28 and the theme is “Viva Las Vegas!”. In addition to fake gambling, dancing, and karaoke to keep the guests busy, Amazon is once again paving the way by providing “Amazon Wedding Chapel™” where couples may be wed Las Vegas style by an official who is registered to legally perform wedding ceremonies in Washington State. Being an equal opportunity employer, Amazon extends this benefit for both marriage ceremonies and domestic partnership. The winning couple will win airfare for two and hotel accommodations for three nights at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas. Amazon is of course careful to avoid any fraud by requesting that domestic partners must supply proof of their existing domestic partnership using such documents as their certificate of Domestic Partnership registration; for marriage ceremonies, couples must supply a copy of their marriage license for which a legal ceremony has not yet been performed.
The question now is how accurately people can predict how many couples will take the bait and get married Amazon style. I could use some statsticians to help me out. The results? We will find out on Jan 28.
