When I said I have so much to tell you guys, I wasn't kidding! One of the things I've been waiting to share with all of you is my sister's wedding in Las Vegas. You may remember from this post that she was originally planning a backyard wedding at my parent's house, complete with food trucks, kegs of beer and dancing. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it), some of the logistics for that celebration started falling through (canceling food trucks - boo!), so she decided to go with plan b -
A Vegas Wedding - and boy, was it a blast.

The guest list was small (immediate family only), and we all arrived at various times during the week to spend some time with the bride and groom and soak up a little Vegas before the wedding.

The ceremony took place on a sunny, perfect Thursday afternoon. We all met outside of the Aria Hotel and took a white limo to The Graceland Wedding Chapel downtown, where all of the fun began (and pretty quickly, too - they have weddings lined up back-to-back all day long so they stick to a tight time schedule).

When we walked in, Brianne and Andy signed some papers, the family took our seats (in the ridiculously cheesy chapel) and Elvis showed up just in time to walk Brianne down the aisle, singing the whole way. Needless to say, it was
hilarious and we were dying. The ceremony did get a little serious in the middle as they exchanged vows, but as soon as Andy kissed his bride, Elvis was there again with "Viva Las Vegas," which got everyone dancing (and skipping down the aisle!).

All in all, it was such a fun experience and SO Andy and Brianne. I'm so glad they ended up doing something that was totally them - and I know I'll definitely remember it forever.

Congrats again, Brianne and Andy! Wishing you many, many years of love and fun!
