Let's set the record straight - we had a destination wedding in Las Vegas. We DID NOT have a married by Elvis wedding at the Little Chapel of Love. None the less, 51 people trekked to Las Vegas to see Tom and I get married and we had a fabulous time!
The bridal party left Thursday morning (early!) MJ and I stumbled to our gate with Starbuck's in hand, while Scott was raring to go with a complete poker chip set, his tuxedo and only a duffel bag of clothes for a 4 day trip. Come to find out, he had 2 pairs of shorts, sneakers and some t-shirts, along with 1 nice outfit, so we saw all of Scott's wardrobe several times that weekend.
When we got to Vegas, the bridal party went off to secure there mini-van for the weekend and Tom and I headed to the shady area of Vegas to get our marriage license. Now, this place could have been it's own reality TV show! We were sandwiched in line between a toothless wonder and his hoochy bride whose kid was hanging all over, misbehaving and make lots of noise and some "normal" looking couples. After being there for a couple of hours, we emerged victorious with our marriage license, ran to our car (to avoid getting mugged) and hit the acceleration back to our hotel to join the rest of the group.
We got back and found Kiki's luggage missing, Liz's umbrella broken, an In and Out Burger run occurring without us and general chaos all abound. Thursday night was our Bachelor/Bachelorette party. We started jointly at MIX at the Hotel at Mandalay in our pink boas overlooking the city from the 63rd floor. Mike showed up and surprised me and then the party broke apart and we went off to Burger Bar for dinner and then to Forty Deuce for a burlesque show and some debauchery. The boys, Kristen, and Meghan were off to the strip club in a limo. All was fine until Meghan's purse was taken, the night went downhill from there and ended with too much Crown Royale for Tom and some late night poker!
What is in store for the day before the wedding?
