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

  20. 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.

  24. 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.
