Las Vegas has never been particularly interested in doing things quietly, and Josh Brolin and Kathryn Boyd certainly understood the assignment. Ten years after their wedding, the couple returned to the altar at the Little White Wedding Chapel for a vow renewal featuring an Elvis impersonator, a pair of cowboy boots and a very timely Metallica tribute.
The celebration was every bit as playful as its setting. And for couples dreaming of a celebration that feels entirely their own, it is a lovely reminder that meaningful moments do not have to follow a traditional script. Whether it is an intimate ceremony or a destination celebration, Wonderland Concierge helps couples connect with trusted wedding professionals who can bring their ideas to life.
Sharing the occasion in a joint Instagram post on November 7, Kathryn captioned the photographs, “Vegas, Vows and Metallicaaaaa baby,” accompanied by flaming heart emojis. The Metallica reference was particularly fitting, with the band scheduled to perform at the Sphere in Las Vegas on November 7 as part of its residency.
The couple chose the Little White Wedding Chapel for the occasion, with an Elvis impersonator in a white rhinestone suit presiding over the ceremony. One particularly sweet moment shows Josh lifting Kathryn into his arms beneath the chapel's famous wedding sign, while another captures them sharing a kiss as their Elvis-clad officiant looks on.
For the occasion, Kathryn wore a sleeveless white dress with a sheer, floor-length skirt, finished with burgundy cowboy boots. It was a bridal look with a little country attitude, perfectly suited to the occasion. Josh kept things relaxed in a black button-down shirt, jeans and sunglasses. No elaborate black-tie dress code required.
The celebration also included their daughters, Westlyn, 8, and Chapel, 5, who joined their parents for a family photograph beneath the chapel sign. Their faces were covered with heart emojis in the images shared publicly.
Josh is also father to two adult children, Trevor and Eden, from his first marriage to actress Alice Adair, making the anniversary a celebration of the family they have built together over the years.
Josh and Kathryn first married on September 24, 2016, in North Carolina, surrounded by family and close friends. Their original wedding had a distinctly different atmosphere: an outdoor ceremony beneath a rustic arch decorated with roses, with Kathryn designing her own lace wedding gown complete with a train.
The couple first met in 2013 when Kathryn worked as Josh's assistant on the set of Oldboy. Their relationship became public the following year, and they announced their engagement in 2015 before exchanging vows a year later. They welcomed their daughters, Westlyn Reign and Chapel Grace, in 2018 and 2020, respectively.
Their September anniversary was already marked with heartfelt tributes. Kathryn reflected on their decade together, writing about raising four children between them, travelling, moving homes and sharing more love than she could have imagined. Josh, meanwhile, described Kathryn as the playmate he had always hoped to find, adding that ten years later, they were still enjoying life's adventures together.
What makes the Las Vegas celebration particularly charming is how little it seems concerned with recreating their original wedding. Instead, Josh and Kathryn chose a setting with its own personality, brought their family along and added a little rock-and-roll energy to the occasion.
Ten years into marriage, their vow renewal was less about staging another perfect wedding and more about celebrating the life they have built since the first one. And with Elvis at the altar and Metallica on the evening's agenda, it is safe to say this anniversary was anything but ordinary.
