Vegas Baby
We went to Las Vegas for the weekend not nessesarily planning to get married THAT weekend. We went there to find a place to get married and get our marriage liscence and then we would go back to Las Vegas when we were ready. Well, Curtis had his own agenda! Since I already had bought my dress and he already had his suit, he packed these items in a seperate suitcase without my knowing it. This was easy for him to do since we ended up having to take seperate flights because he worked for any airline so he could fly free on the airline he worked for and any airline that had a contract with his employer. Since we weren't married yet I could not fly free yet, so we flew on 2 different airlines and he got there first. After we got to Las Vegas, we did some sight seeing. We had a great time! The next day we went and got our marriage liscense. We then did some more sightseeing, and then started looking for a place to get married. Well, we both have a love for Italy! So we found a little place inside the Venetian hotel, which the entire theme is Italy! We absolutly loved it! So we get all the info about how much it would cost to get married, get our pictures taken, and get a limo. We still thought we would look around at some other places even though we loved this one. So we looked around but still wanted that first one. We go back to the hotel to freshen up and get ready to go out to dinner. While I'm getting ready Curtis says he's going to go down to the front desk and get some info on some good restaurants. (Now here's the good part!) When I get out of the shower my WEDDING DRESS IS LAID OUT ON THE BED! With all my jewelry and everything!(HOW ROMANTIC!)My breath was taken away! Curtis was already in his suit ready to go and says "How bout we get married today?!!", "OF COURSE, YES!" I said. He told me I only had 20 min to get ready for the chapel to fit us in and have time to take pics! 20 min is so not enough time to get ready to get MARRIED, but I tried and of course I was running like an hour late, so Curtis had to call the wedding chapel and tell them we were running late, they said it was ok but to hurry. So while I'm still getting ready I realize that the only thing I don't have is a bouqet and I always wanted real flowers, so (ladies you're not going to believe this) my husband had the van driver of the hotel take him to the closest grocery store that sold fresh flowers and Curtis made me a bouqet!AND IT WAS GORGEOUS! Now, since we came to Vegas not expecting to get married we didn't have enough money to get a limo and still have money for dinner, or so I thought. I thought we were waiting for a cab to come pick us up. (Before I say what I'm about to, please note that I'm kinda a bubblehead.) So we're outside the front of the hotel and there is a limo driver holding a sign that says Daniels. I don't even think that it's for us. I actually made a comment to Curtis that I wish we could take that limo and what a coincidence that it's the same last name as his. So Curtis says that I should ask the limo driver the first name of the people that he's waiting for, just to be polite and make conversation. So I did, and the limo driver said he was waiting for the party of Curtis Daniels, and I laughed even more that what a huge coincidence this was. And as soon as I was saying those words out loud I realized the limo was for us and I almost cried!! So we take the limo to the Venetian and get our pics taken then we have the cerimony! Here we are waiting to start the cerimony!
