ABC FAMILY PREMIERES NEW EPISODE OF 'LAS VEGAS GARDEN OF LOVE'

"Monkey Love" Airs Monday, April 4 (9:30 � 10:00 PM ET/PT)

Burbank, CA (March 23, 2005) � ABC Family premieres a new episode of the original reality series LAS VEGAS GARDEN OF LOVE. "Monkey Love" airs Monday, April 4 (9:30 � 10:00 PM ET/PT).

In "Monkey Love" Harley, the family's Capuchin Monkey, is suddenly taken ill. Things get very emotional at the chapel because Harley is a member of the family and everyone is concerned about his well-being. Through all of this the weddings still continue, with one couple getting married in their "big rig."

The series takes viewers behind-the-scenes of the family-owned A Las Vegas Garden of Love wedding chapel. Through the eyes of Johnny, the fifteen-year-old chapel videographer and cousin to Cheryl - the owner, viewers are exposed to the inside drama between the extended family members (who all live under one roof), couples who come in at all times of the night for their nuptials, and feuding with rival chapels.

The chapel averages 1500 weddings a month, is open twenty-four hours a day, and offers an Elvis impersonator who can sing and preside over the service.
