the adventures of pamalicious

Hey Ya’ll!  I’m just sitting here thinking about this time last year I was on my way to Vegas Baby!  Yep!  I think back over this time last year and I marvel at the way I planned and executed my wedding and it was a destination wedding! Working without the benefit of professional I think the entire affair was tasteful and fun. From the invites to the casino goody bags to the personalized thank you cards.

I made and/or created just about everything we used.  The flowers, most of the stuff in the gift bags, the invites, the Welcome to Vegas kits.  Ebay ROCKS!  The Dollar Store ROCKS!  I found the great Casino boxes to put my goody bag stuff in there.  My mother in law ROCKS! She made our ring pillow.  

My only regret was not securing a block of rooms to be able to see everybody. I felt bad I only saw some people at the wedding! The only saving grace was it was vegas lol. Folks were not complaining lol.  I would not do my wedding any different it was full of love full of wonderful people and everything I wanted.

I eloped the first time around (shout out to the Brooklyn Court House), and at first was a bit nonchalant on a wedding this time. I mean I was 40 years old, this was my second blah blah blah. Then I thought about just how in love I was and felt like I wanted to have a ceremony to exhibit that.  It took off from there. 

Being able to have a live feed into the wedding thus inviting all my friends and family who couldn’t make it (a lot of you tuned in - thanks) just made it that much more special. 

So this weekend - I’ll be going through my wedding bin and finally pulling together the things for the scrapbook I haven’t started on.  I also will just be focusing on all that God has blessed me with.

Let me leave you with some candid shots from Vegas.  I love ALL my pictures and as you probably know - I have a trunk load, lol

These labels were for the gift bags, welcome kits and I had them for the candy etc.

Everybody! Thanks so much for coming (several missed the picture)  All total we had 43 people attend our wedding.  They had to put us all out the Chapel cause they said they never had this many turn up for a Vegas Wedding.

 

Immediately after we were pronounced Husband and Wife
