pieceful kwilter: live from Las Vegas- our wedding!!!

i know yall have been waiting for this post....

my bouquet with our rings

i was mistaken in my girly post about the last time i wore a dress....it occurred to me the other day, the last time i wore a dress was my high school senior prom....

all the traditions were kept:

something borrowed- vegas
something blue- my shoes (i couldn't find suede ones *snicker*)
something new- the dress

we were married in a small vegas chapel by Elvis! it was awesome!!

Elvis walked me down the aisle singing "Love me tender"

we had elvis themed vows, and i got our Elvis tickled a couple of times cause i am an Elvis fan and could guess what song title was coming up in the vows:

i promise to never step.... on your blue suede shoes
i won't leave you...at heartbreak hotel...or any hotel
i won't...return you to sender

stuff like that...

isn't davis handsome???

this is one of my favorite pictures....we had the photographer laughing ....and the chauffeur...
the chauffer, Dave, gave us a nice compliment:

"I've been driving for wedding chapels for over 20 years and i see one out of every 30 couples that have the spark. you guys have that spark and will be together forever. you guys have got it all figured out."

our first kiss as husband and wife!

now we start on our hunka hunka ever after!!!

Elvis has left the building- thunkya thunkya verymuch

Congrats! Love the shoes and you looked fantastic! Vegas is one of my favorite places. However, being from the east coast, we don't get there very often. Congrats again!

You Got Married!!! Wheeeeee!!! Congratulations - I'm so glad you had so much fun with it - people get way too stuffy sometimes with their weddings - It was what would mean the most to you and kudos to you for doing something so personal. Knowing how to have that much fun together will help you keep your marriage alive and thriving throughout the decades. :D Cheers!!

Congratulations! Love the dress and the hair. Your shoes were great. My daughter wore light blue low Chuck Taylors with her wedding dress.
Linda September 06, 2011
Congratulations!!! You both look so happy! You look stunning in your dress...love the shoes!!! Have fun and enjoy!!!
DebbieSeptember 06, 2011
Lovely dress! I so enjoyed hearing about your Vegas trip...and the Elvis touch to the wedding vows. A good sense of humor between a husband and wife has to be one of the most essential ingredients to a happy marriage. Sounds like you and Davis definitely have it. I think a trip to Graceland has to be on the horizon. Congratulations.

Congratulations to you both... I am so happy for you and that everything turned out super great... Davis is very handsome in the pictures and I love your dress and hairdo. It is always nice to dress up and be a girly girl. See you soon.

You look beautiful and so you....creative....doing things your way. I love it....."I gotta be me"....oh no that's Sinatra not Elvis...but its Vegas!
BeckySeptember 07, 2011
Congrats. You guys look great. I lOVE the pictures. I must admit that I'm so JEALOUS. I wanted an Elvis wedding but year after year am told no no no no. I even tried again this year for our 20th anniversary suggesting we should renew our vows.
JenSeptember 07, 2011
Congrats! You look so beautiful. That's a great compliment from the driver. Love the Elvis-themed wedding. Best wishes!
LindaSeptember 07, 2011
LOL Oh Shannon you are a hoot!! I can't decide which pic I like the best... the shoes (which are just plain awesome!) or you in your fantastic dress looking like a million bucks. Thanks for sharing your very special day. Congrats to you both.
DebbieSeptember 07, 2011
