Jerry and I are heading off to Vegas to tie the proverbial knot. We (and whenever I say "we" it means "I") have selected the venue (Planet Hollywood Resort) and the date (April 8). We are trying to guess the guest list in order to pick the appropriate package and time. But right now it is looking like a mid-afternoon ceremony with a break to go take some awesome photos (courtesy of an awesome package deal from mikelphoto.com), followed by an hors d'oeuvre reception in a panorama suite at PH.
The hotel pretty much takes care of everything: chapel and suite set up, bouquets, alter flowers and candles, ceremony pictures with an additional hour of photo time as well as an engagement photo session at the LV sign, and so much more that I can't even think of right now! Oh yeah, and the ceremony will be available via webcast!
Woo hoo Planet Hollywood!
Here's a little teaser of what the suite may look like (I think they have a few of them that are decorated slightly differently):
Yes, that's a 180 degree view of the strip.
We will be having a reception in Cincinnati, not long after we return from Vegas. And we are putting off the honeymoon until the fall since we will be taking a week to trip out to LV.
I bought a dress last week - and I'm having a really hard time not showing Jerry a picture of it because I really like it, and I am terrible at keeping secrets from him. It's going to really suck when the dress arrives because they ship it directly to my house. Hopefully, we can get it in for alterations before I have a chance to share. If you're not Jerry and you want to see a picture of the dress, drop me an email or a message on facebook and I'll send you one of a tall, skinny blonde in the white version (mine's ivory because the white just washed me out!).
Jerry and his groomsmen (when he selects them) will just wear black suits, white shirts, and some kind of awesome tie that coordinates with my maid(s) dress(es). Jerry told me that he is going to wear his black and white checkered Vans... and I thought that was an excellent idea ($5 says my mom hates that idea!)
The dress has kind of inspired our theme: Classic Hollywood/Old School Las Vegas style. Hopefully we can translate that into the reception at home - because I know that I will want to wear my dress again!
Stay tuned for more details! I am working on getting a planning website up and running, but I'm so busy with everything else (work x2) that it's a little on hold right now!
