LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - JULY 28: Elvis Presley impersonator and chapel co-owner Brendan Paul performs a live wedding vow renewal ceremony using the Zoom videoconferencing software for a couple from Texas celebrating their 50th anniversary amid the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) at Graceland Wedding Chapel on July 28, 2020 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
