Just had the chance to get online Chaps, cheers for all your best wishes
Yep, we've had this planned since early Jan. No one knew at all other than us (obviously) and Jez (someone needed to know where we were in case a plane dropped out the sky etc, and as Jez would have had to repatriate our bodies and sort out all the insurance mess, then he seemed the most logical option!).
We have been living a lie for many months, even our families had no idea where we were heading.
Basically, we have been engaged for 6 years and throughout this period we had systematically watched most of our friends get married over time....each wedding trying to outdo the other in true one-upmanship style - it was getting silly. We just got fed up with it and thought we'd do our own thing and have a much more intimate affair that didnt involve us getting ripped off by a million and one wedding suppliers for some half baked day of pomp & ceremony full of stress.
Vegas seemed like the right place to go...none of this cheesy Elvis crap though. We got wed at The Bellagio on Sunday and it was a tasteful affair and a lovely day.
No expense spared, and a truly truly mad 5 day break (we didnt want to leave our young kiddies any longer than this, so we will sort the 'honeymoon' out for next year and take them too).
I'll load up some piccies in a bit - what a mad place Vegas is!
I've never been conventional - so why start eh!
