Las Vegas Wedding










Although Wade and I were married almost 3 weeks ago, I am just getting around to posting some pictures and details… Sad I know!

Originally Wade and I were going to get married this summer when it was warm outside and we could have a big party. However finding out that we were pregnant made those plans seem not as great. We both decided that because we had this unexpected little guy on the way we wanted to be married before 1- I got to big to fit into a wedding dress and 2- well before the little guy arrived. We thought because I was not getting any less pregnant and uncomfortable we should do something small right away, plus we were ready to get married anyways! Because we wanted to do something really small we didn’t really spread the word. The plan has always been to do something little right now and a year from know after the baby is born and I am back in shape :/ we would have our big celebration with everyone.

We wanted to be married somewhere warm so the plan was to head to Mesquite and get married in a courthouse there. After finding out that they don’t do this in Mesquite we decided that we would get married in the courthouse in Vegas. We told our families and that was it… or so we thought. Wade’s mom was not so eager about the idea and suggested that maybe we do something a little more meaningful and get married in one of the many chapels in Vegas. I originally was not so keen on the whole idea. I’ve always thought as getting married in Vegas as something you do when you’re drunk!!! However Wade and I looked into it and actually found a little chapel that looked really cute. Wade’s mom ended up booking the place. Once the place was set word began to spread that we were going to get married in Vegas and much to our surprise so many people booked their rooms so they could attend the ceremony. My two sisters Kim and Misty, my brother Sterling, Parents and nieces and nephews were there on my side. Wade’s parents, and 4 couples of close family friends (Chris & Cindy, JT & Linda, Fred & Terry and Steffanie & Ross) joined us on Wade’s side. Then there for both of us were My old boss Darren Beck and his family, the business manager at my work, Virginia Bowser and her family, and our neighbor Mike. And the rest was history, On April 3rd Wade and I were married surrounded by our parents close family friends!!!

We honestly could not have more pleased with how the wedding turned out. They had a limo come and pick us up from our hotel and take us to the chapel. When we got there we were escorted to our own little chapel and met with the minister. They performed a beautiful wedding ceremony and took some great pictures. Everyone was really happy with how everything turned out. I am so glad that Theresa suggested we do this and would highly recommend anyone to thinking about doing the same to get married at the Chapel of the Flowers in Vegas!

After the wedding we headed back to our amazing hotel suite that Wade had booked at the Golden Nugget and had a little brunch (pizza and drinks) for everyone. We even got to cut a wedding cake because one of my dance moms made one and sent it down with Misty!!! It really was an amazing day for us and we just want to say thank you to all our friends and family that made it that way.
Also a huge Thank you to Wade for making the entire trip so amazing. I wish I had pictures to post of the amazing hotel room that he booked for the entire week but our camera was dead! It was two stories and completely decked out with a bar, huge jetted tub, steam shower, living area and amazing view over Fremont Street. I am so lucky to have found Wade! He makes me so happy in every single way he is such an amazing husband and is going to make one amazing daddy! Love you babe.
