I Do Now Please Drive Through

I can see now why people say "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas". Don't get me wrong I didn't do anything over there I'm ashamed of, it's just after seeing some of the people in that town and the atmosphere of it all it can cause people to do silly crazy things!

So Cuz and his girl are finally married now and it was really cool to see a wedding done Vegas style. We hopped on the bus from our hotel (MGM Grand...highly recommend it!) and headed down the strip to the wedding district. I could not believe just how many chapels there actually was in this one area. Each of the hotels on the strip have a chapel inside but as you get closer to old Vegas and Freemont Street you start coming up on little chapels like The Chapel of the Flowers, Cupids Chapel or my favourite the Chapel of Las Vegas Weddings complete with drive through service.

So the bus pulls up in front of the chapel my Cuz chose and we're 2 minutes late. Well in Vegas if they say it starts at 5pm you'd better be ready for a 5pm start. The reason in this case was there was another bride and groom waiting to get married! At home if you'd book a place it was yours for a least an hour or so. Not the case here. Get in get out. Wham bam thank you Mame you may now kiss the bride!

The ceremony was beautiful though and touching. My uncle walked the bride down the aisle and they remembered to say "I do" and suddenly there's another Mrs. in the family.

We stayed outside to take some photos and the happy couple let us into their limo so we could all head out to dinner together. I think it was because my Dad and I were taking photos and they wanted to get some shots but we weren't complaining it was a long walk back and we weren't too eager to get back on the bus again.

That night we walked up the strip taking photos of the bride and groom and there's really no bad place to take wedding photos. I think my favourite though is when some stranger comes up to me and starts chatting me up. He wants to know where a good place to party is but has some issue because he's Asian. I tell him it's no worries. My sister in law is Asian and she doesn't have what ever issue he had. Well next thing you know we're apparently related because I have an Asian sister in law (who's not even close to blood related in any ways shape or form) and he is Asian so therefore we must be related. Made for a good laugh and a photo with the bride.

In the end Cuz and new Cuz you guys had a beautiful wedding and I was so happy to be apart of it all. I wish you all the best and I'm looking forward to July for the reception. We're going to party like we're back in Vegas right!

PS. I hope to add pics but Cuz says that he wants to be the first to post pictures online so I'll respect that. But I have to post this one. I never thought I would see an iPod vending machine!
