Now on to the wedding…
I am not going to bore you fine people with the planning of the wedding but I will tell you this.. We both did not want a huge wedding and we both did not want a stuffy and boring wedding (sorry to those who have typical weddings and the lot but we aren’t like that.. but to each their own). So we decided on a VEGAS WEDDING! Not the little white chapel style but a semi-traditional wedding type. The biggest thing we wanted to get across in the wedding was that we wanted to have fun with the people we love. We wanted to share our happiness not hoard it to ourselves. The venue was the Hilton grand hotels roof, on April 9th 2011. We invited 25 of our immediate family and closest friends. When I said we were going to have a small wedding, I wasn’t kidding.
The wedding itself was pretty straight forward... the priest said some words... we repeated those words and boom... we were married. You guys know the part of the ceremony when the priest asks the father who is giving the bride away. Normal people would just say I and her mother do... but nope... not us. My wife tells my father in law to say “Daddy-o and Momma Dearest” (god i love my wife). You would think that on the most important and touching day of her life she would want to proper.. but nope that's why I married her.. because she can have fun in ANY given situation. And I have to admit when I saw Cyndi coming down the aisle I nearly lost it and almost broke down and cried.... you would have too!!!!! so shut up!
I asked my best and longtime friend Danny to be my best man. We go back… wayyyy back and I couldn’t think of anyone else that I would want next to me on such a big day. Oh and our reception was at Lowery’s …. If you haven’t been to Lowery’s YOU DO NO KNOW WHY YOU ARE MISSING! They have THE BEST and when I say THE BEST prime rib I mean it…. I know my meat! I got the King cut… that is over 2 inch thick cut of prime rib… on the bone.. and I ate it all… when I say all… I mean I gnawed on the bone for a good 30 mins. For the reception after the amazing meal we did the “traditional” stuff.... dad and daughter danced... then son and mother dance... you know the “normal” stuff. But the funniest thing of the night was when we did the throwing of the garter/flowers my mothers boyfriend (yes my parents are divorced) and my fathers girlfriend caught them...... yeah.... i busted out laughing!!!! Then we got into a party bus that was supposed to take us around the stirip and show us the sights... but that was sort of a bust because the limo service canceled on us at the last minute and we had to find a replacement.... this happened twice to us! But all in all this was the best wedding that I will ever have... I spent it with my best Friend, my wife and all of our closest family.
Ok I am jumping around here so bear with me… its 5 am and I am writing this as it comes to my mind.
But before all of that happened we got to spend a couple of days in Vegas baby! The first thing I did was head out to the casinos… and when I tell you I had lady luck on my side you better believe it. So I had a friend at work give me $10 to play on 31 at the roulette tables as a wedding gift. So there I am with my soon to be wife, my best man and 2 great friends (they are my wife’s best friend and her wife…. Yes they are partners…. Just letting ya’ll know). Now I am chomping at the bit to plop this $10 on a table and see where I takes me but my best man Dan tells me something that everyone should do. He says “you need to find a table that is packed with people so when you win big EVERYONE knows!” So we all go looking for the most packed table we can find… and we come across a table in the Paris hotel and casino that is so full that I had to sort of elbow my way in. I get my $10 in chips and put it on 31…. And let it roll! As the ball goes round and round the wheel I am thinking to myself “yeah 31 is not going to hit and I just blew $10 on a game a random chance and luck” but then as the ball started to make is final circle around the wheel I get this strange sensation like something is about to happen…. *tink tink* the ball drops on its final resting place….. 31….. all I can tell you is that everyone at the table stopped and looked at me (mainly because I was shouting and clapping my hands and high fivin anybody and everybody around me… and I might have said HOLY FUCKING SHIT…. In a not so subtle voice) but you know what… Dan’s advice worked… I won big ($310 which pretty much paid for the food and drinks for the honeymoon). This was a good start to what was going to happen while we were in Vegas.
