Then again, having a big wedding can be selfish...
Why we did the destination wedding:
I had
NO desire to go back to Virginia to have a church wedding. We are not religious and I stated before if my mom (or his mom) had their ways we would have the mass church wedding--not gonna happen
I suggested doing Peace Arch Park on the US Canadian border (near his family). He didn't want an outside wedding.
We looked at each other and said "Vegas baby!"
We didn't have to worry about keeping folx entertained.
We almost eloped. We got our license there during a trip in Jan 2001. We were both thinking "let's do it" but we didn't relay to each other what we were thinking.
When we told his mom we were gonna do Vegas, she got huffy and said "Well I am not going". We had 2 words for her:
"don't go!"
She did wind up going. My mother was all about losing her "Vegas Virginity"!
One person who should have been there wasn't...that is a whole 'nother talk show!
Everyone who was there had a blast. It was my aunt's last vacation before she passed away in the summer of 2002 from cancer
I brought a little joy into her life
So if some of us are selfish, so be it! I have no regrets!
