07/08/09 Wedding Las Vegas Style!

We all had a great time in Las Vegas. I was completely exhausted by the time the reception was over but it was well worth it. She was absolutely beautiful if I do say so myself. The only hitch was that there was a miscommunication between the wait staff with how much beer/wine the guests were allowed. My contract said unlimited. Unfortunately, since I don't drink, I wasn't aware of this until the next day. Oh well.































I wanted to thank all of our family members and friends who made it out to Las Vegas to share this with us. I wanted to thank my mother and brother, Jeff and his wife, Betty, Tom, Nancy and Cash, Jeff and Lin, Janet and Nick and Bob and Debbie. We hadn't seen Bob and Debbie since the early '90's. We've known them since Bob and BDHA were in navy flight school together in the late 70's. We were together in Corpus Christi, TX, San Diego and then back to South Texas. They haven't changed a bit!

I especially wanted to thank Dianne for helping make sure that my in-laws Bill and Marilyn (her parents) made it. It wouldn't have been the same without them.

One last picture. A little background first. BDHA and MFD have this ritual with Marty Feldman. (Yes, the googly-eyed actor now deceased). Apparently when she was little, she saw a picture of him and it really bothered her. BDHA cut it out and would put it in strange places for her to find. Her lunch box was one. She would return the favor by putting it under the covers on his bed. They have continued this tradition to this day. Please see the proof below.

By the way, I did win some money. I was playing this 1-cent slot called Monkey in the Middle. I put in $20 and ended up printing out a voucher for $27 and some change. The next morning, I went back intending to lose it and ended up with $130 and change. I cashed it in and bought BDHA lunch at the Venetian. That was my lucky day. I had dropped my camera in the casino and an employee found it and turned it in. I got it back. It was also the day we found out that MistyPines Dog Park would let Mr. Whacko stay an extra day which meant that BDHA could stay an extra day. Even though it was the next day, we also ended up being able to fly back first class. Woo hoo~!

P.S. I published another post prior to this one named Medical Update. Don't forget to read that one too!
