Something old, new, borrowed and blue

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

After 17 years, 11 months, 3 weeks and 4 days (but who’s counting), Snookie and I flew off to Vegas and did the drive through little white chapel w/Elvis and got married. I sent off packages to family members w/our wedding announcements, bottles of wedding bubbles, wedding conversation hearts, wedding balloons, commemorative personalized wedding kazoos, and personalized M & M’s in our wedding colors (black and blue of course). Sent them off timed so they’d arrive before the event but after we’d left.

I wore a baseball cap w/veil, Elvis sang, we promised to love, honor, cherish, yaddy yaddy, yaddy, he promised to make popcorn for me from time to time, I promised to share the tv remote (and I thought that as long as I gave it up when I went to bed or left the house, that counted, who knew?). I gave him as a wedding gift a stack of business cards of lawyers. Fine time had by all.

We were due to leave at something like 7:30 am, were boarded on the plane, the pilot advised us of a delay 'cause some light that wasn’t supposed to be on, was on. After about an hour, they got us off the plane, offered us a breakfast at the airport, and said ‘um, it’s gonna be a while’. Upshot of that was we were stuck at the very tiny airport for about 11 hours, finally got a new flight (complete w/free drinks, yahoo). We also got vouchers for a return round trip sometime w/in the next year (not bad).

So, instead of getting the license on THursday, we ended up getting it a few hours before our wedding on Friday. While we were finalizing the final details of our nuptuals, another couple was watching us, he in a tux, she in a classic white wedding dress. He looked over, bemoaning “I wanted Elvis” she replied “I gave you Vegas, we can have ELvis next year when we renew our vows”.

He’s having fun saying things like “no wife of mine would …” and so on. He showed up at my office (I couldn’t see him), called out “It’s your husband” - I had to think for a minute.

anyhow, extreme fun had by both of us. thought some folks would like to know. :wink:

Congrats! Me and Mr. Kalhoun got hitched in Vegas. It was a blast! We were only together 9 1/2 years, but we were inlaws when I was 19, so we had over 20 years to get to know each other.

We didn’t do the Elvis wedding, though. We did the Little Chapel of the West, which is where many famous people tied the knot.

Here’s to many happy years together!

I routinely say “why thankyew, thankyew verra much”, and found myself saying that to the Elvis -

but it’s appropriate here -

Congratulations!!! Dear Robert and I got married on May 1, but not in Vegas.

I hope y’all have many happy years together.

And I still have to stop and do a reset in order to say “my husband…” when I refer to him. Still feels a little weird. But I’m getting used to it. :slight_smile:
