On Friday last week at noon, a Las Vegas woman is planning a wedding you will not see on a Strip chapel billboard: local rider Star Britt is set to exchange vows with her Kawasaki Ninja 1000 in front of the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign. She says the unusual ceremony is meant to draw attention to a troubling rise in motorcycle and moped deaths across the valley, complete with burlesque dancers, attorneys and pieces of crash debris she has turned into art.
According to News 3 Las Vegas, recent traffic numbers show a 16% increase in fatalities involving motorcycles or mopeds this year compared with the same period in 2025, and Britt’s noon ceremony is being billed as part performance and part public-safety message. The station reports that she will say her vows to the bike at the iconic sign while displaying artwork made from wreckage collected at crash scenes. Organizers told the station they hope the theatrical spectacle will spark conversations about helmets, speed and lane awareness among both riders and drivers.
