What Happens in Vegas...

We interrupt our retirement for a trip to Las Vegas

Our oldest daughter, Heather, met and fell in love with a wonderful man, Steven, and they decided to get married in the wedding capitol of the world, Las Vegas, Nevada. The ceremony was held in the Garden Wedding Chapel of Flamingo Hotel.

We flew into Las Vegas from San Antonio on Thursday, March 12, two days ahead of the wedding. On Friday we met with Heather, Steven and his parents for dinner at the Hotel and a chance to meet and get to know everyone. Stevens parents, Julie and Brad are wonderful people and we enjoyed their company very much. Steven seems to take after his father and is a very outgoing, motivated young man. I have no doubt Steven & Heather will be very happy together.

The actual wedding was held on Saturday and was a beautiful ceremony in an absolutely wonderful setting. The Flamingo Hotel has a huge Habitat and garden area that made the wedding really special. I have included one picture of the happy couple here and you will be able to see all the pictures at Photobucket as soon as I can get them uploaded. The wedding was followed by an excellent dinner at the hotel.

Sunday was all about friends and we met Marilyn for lunch and then met with our dear friends from college, Sandy & Don. Marilyn is a wonderful lady that took care of Marsha's mother for a long time and was more than just a great caregiver, she is a member of the family. We spent a great afternoon and evening with Sandy & Don at their home, catching up on all our lives. As always they have a beautiful home in a very nice development, but I still do not understand why anyone would want to live in the desert in the summer.
