Elvis Presley impersonator Michael Conti sings as he officiates a wedding for Phoebe Kim and Colton Sorensen of California as they dance at the Little White Wedding Chapel on December 31, 2023 in Las Vegas, Nevada. In what could be a record-breaking date for weddings in the city, thousands of couples are expected to get married on the specialty date with the repeating 1-2-3 1-2-3 pattern that also coincides with the New Year's Eve holiday and a weekend. The most popular date for Las Vegas weddings was in 2007, when 4,492 couples exchanged vows on July 7, or 7/7/07. Since 1953, more than five million weddings have been held in the city, when the Daily Herald in London published an article referring to Las Vegas as the “Wedding Capital of the World”.

It is said that Torajans are people who “live to die”. For this Indonesian ethnic group, funerals are such extravagant events that they sometimes attract tourists. Families can postpone burials years (and the deceased are considered sick and hosted at home until the funeral) until the family can raise enough money and gather as many relatives as possible. And then it’s a jubilant multiday social event with a parade, dances and animal sacrifices. Agung Parameswara photographed these funerary practices when he traveled to South Sulawesi province, where the Torajans live. But often, their funeral isn’t the last time the dead are seen. In August, crypts are opened, coffins are slid back out and bodies delicately unsheathed. This tender ritual is known as Ma’Nene, which is customarily performed every few years.
