2012: The Year of Love…

Hello Kids…

We are finally here; the end of another year, the beginning of a new chapter, and a new four digit number to mark our memories with. I began to write this years final blog as a retrospective of 2011: my four trips to Vegas, the wedding planning lessons, and the people and places that are making this whole dream Vegas Wedding of mine possible. But then I remembered that 2011 was only the beginning, the important moment is coming in 2012, the moment when I mark a memory with a wedding date ended in those four numbers. The day when I promise my love to one person until we both escape the shores of time, and even beyond that to the eternity that awaits us on the other side. That date is what has driven all of my 2011 adventures.

Instead of looking back then, I ask us all to look forward and to hope for a year of LOVE in 2012. Not just love between my husband-to-be and I, or between the other happy couples out there, but love between people; human beings. We so often forget that at some point long ago in the distant past our spouses were strangers to us. Then we get to our wedding day or our 50th anniversary and we see the love we’ve built in all its glory. Perhaps this year we all should resolve to see the love everyday, to watch it accumulate in our lives, and in the lives of others. Celebrate the big days, have the bright weddings, renew your love and the vows that sealed it, but please do not forget the everyday accumulation of love. My hope is that we all can make a resolution to offer one extra smile, one more kind word, or one more charitable act this year. Let's accumulate love around us always and remember it every day this coming year.

I’d like to end by thanking one very special person, and one very special group of people. First, I’d like to thank my Husband-to-be for loving me, encouraging me and never hiding from life’s adventures. Second, I’d like to thank the staff at Vegas Weddings for all of their help. Vegas Weddings has been there to take care of the details, so that I could take care of things back here at home. My 2012 wedding, and the love it will mark, wouldn’t be possible without my Husband-to-be or the superhero wedding staff at Vegas Weddings. Thank you all so much and HAPPY 2012!!!

Wedding Questions...Asked and Answered...

Hello Kids...

It's been a very busy fall so far and as my Vegas Wedding gets closer I keep running into questions from friends, family and even strangers. I thought it might be a great idea to offer all of you some answers to a few of these questions. I'm not yet a wedding expert so I made sure to find someone I could trust to answer these questions. Ann over at Vegas Weddings took the time to answer these for me...


Q1 - Is it appropriate for the Mother of the Bride to wear black?

A1 - I think anything goes and Black & white are popular colors now, so yes, I think it's ok.


Q2 - What are your thoughts on cash bars at wedding receptions? Are they okay or are they in poor taste?

A2 - Cash bars are very common now. Sometimes they host for an hour or so then switch to cash. I know it used to be frowned upon years ago, but I think with the expense of a wedding, many feel it's perfectly ok. I suppose the more expensive the venue, the less you'll see it, though. If they can afford Mandalay Bay or the Venetian for a reception, it would seem like they could afford to host the bar... But if they are on more of a budget and making the most of what they have, guests understand.


Q3 - Is a cake punch reception really okay for a Las Vegas destination wedding?

A3 - Definitely! It can be the pre-party where you have wedding traditions observed before the real party begins!


Q4 - Any tips on how to keep my tears under control on my daughter's wedding day? I'm really afraid I'm going to be a sobbing wreck when I see her walk down the aisle.

A4 - Wow...I'm with you...I'd be a sobbing wreck, too! I would just try to concentrate on your feet, the flowers, the windows, the laundry, dishes, your oil change you may need, anything but what you're doing. Try to take your mind away to somewhere else. Then watch the video at home with your tissue box! You can also fold and tuck tissues into your bouquet if you are carrying one. Good luck with that! I'm tearing up typing this!


I really have to give a BIG THANKS to Vegas Weddings they are not only helping to make my wedding day fabulous but they are also here by email or phone to answer all of my questions along the way!!! If you have any burning questions feel free to send them my way…I’ll be sure to get the best answers I can find!!!

But what if I’m already married???

Hello Kids…

I know many of you are already in loving married relationships. Perhaps you have asked yourself how all this Vegas wedding stuff applies to you. Have you considered renewing your love and commitment in a ceremony for close friends and relatives? Or do you wish your first wedding had been different somehow? Vegas is not just a place for first time weddings it’s also a great place to host a vow renewal. Love and commitment grows as a marriage progresses so why not treat yourself and your spouse to a Vegas Vow Renewal?

Vegas Weddings offers you the chance to do just that. Without the hassle of the license bureau you can focus on how important those vows are and renew them in a beautiful chapel. Vegas Weddings offers vow renewal packages for all budgets. These include: Renew $199, Relive $299, Rekindle $429, Recreate $729, Rejuvenate $1,299 and Reinvigorate $2,099. Vegas Weddings offers the BEST customer service in the Vegas wedding industry. They will make sure that your vow renewal is exactly what you want it to be, a great symbol of your continued love.

Whether your Vegas vows are in the form of a wedding or a vow renewal they will be treated with personal care by the wonderful staff at Vegas Weddings. I highly suggest visiting the Vegas Weddings website or facebook page for more information.

Hello Kids…

Today is the tenth and final day of the “10 ‘Must Sees’ During Your Wedding Visit to Las Vegas” blog series. Each day we introduced you to a fun Vegas experience that everyone should check out for a great Wedding Visit to Vegas. Without further ado…

Absinthe is the BEST show on The Vegas Strip. Absinthe pairs humor (yes, adult humor) with world-class acrobatics and does so about a foot away for the audience. The show is located within the outdoor Spiegelworld complex outside of Caesars Palace. The experience is one of a kind. Between the atmosphere and the cast Absinthe goes above and beyond the typical Vegas show experience. From the moment you grab a drink in the beer garden to the moment you exit the air-conditioned velvet lined tent you are not in Vegas you are immersed in Spiegelworld. I highly suggest purchasing VIP tickets if only for the experience of entering the VIP room via a green telephone booth. You cannot find a more intimate and exciting show experience anywhere in Las Vegas. Absinthe is also a “Must See” because it’s running on a limited engagement and is set to end on Sept. 18th 2011. If you take in one show make it Absinthe!!!

If you want a fun and classy Vegas location to have the ultimate Vegas drink experience then you must visit The Chandelier located inside The Cosmopolitan. The Chandelier offers unique and custom tailored cocktails on each of it’s three floors. My personal favorite is a drink that’s not even offered on the menu, The Verbena. What makes The Verbena so special is the garnish a little flower called a “buzz button”. Alone the drink is flavorful and very tasty with the addition of the “buzz button” there is a totally new dimension added. The Verbena at first sip has a delightful taste. Upon a second taste (after sampling the “buzz button”) it is a drink with sensation, yes actual physical sensation. The mixologist at The Chandelier has made a drink that is both a taste and sensation adventure. It is by far the BEST drink in Vegas. The rest of the menu is equally as inventive and unique. The atmosphere is out of this world. Overall The Chandelier is the best example of drink experience that is perfectly balanced with class, fun and flavor.

We couldn’t create a “Must See” list for Las Vegas without including at least one Cirque du Soleil show in the mix. Love is in it’s 5th year running in Vegas and is still one of the best shows on The Strip. The mix of great Beatles songs and the magic of Cirque du Soleil create one very memorable evening. On top of being a great show the theater is fantastic every seat in the house has a nice view. They offer seats at several price points so budget brides and brides ready to splurge can enjoy the magic of Love.

Frankie’s Tiki Room is one of my favorite Vegas spots. It’s off the strip and offers fabulous drinks in even more fabulous Tiki Mugs anytime day or night. Yes, Frankie’s is open 24/7. It’s a cozy spot that is decorated to “Tiki Perfection”. The staff is always welcoming and fun. I highly recommend a trip to Frankie’s for a drink. If you want to take a bit of the fun home you can purchase one of the many custom mugs they offer. Check out the yearly limited edition anniversary mug. Frankie’s Tiki Room is a “Must See” for me each and every time I visit Las Vegas!!!

For a romantic evening in Vegas simply visit Lake of Dreams at the Wynn. Lake of Dreams runs unique shows on the lake each night. These shows can be seen from several restaurants and bars that offer a romantic setting and great views of Lake of Dreams. I suggest making a reservation at your chosen spot around 7:30pm and enjoying a slow meal or cocktail hour so you can see several of the fascinating shows on the water. This is the perfect spot if you’d like to get all dressed up and have a low key yet fabulous evening.

The Pinball Hall of Fame is the perfect place to have fun in a unique atmosphere. Regardless of your level of game knowledge or ability you will find a pinball machine here to fall in love with and enjoy. There is an extra special two-player pinball machine that is just perfect for newlyweds. Each person plays from one end of the table and tries to score points by using the flippers to launch the ball into the other player’s goal. This particular pinball machine is my absolute favorite and I cannot wait to play it with my husband-to-be on our wedding trip to Vegas. I highly recommend a visit to the Pinball Hall of Fame for some good old fashion fun.

If you love a good free show then Sirens of TI is the show for you. This show pits Sirens against Pirates in a battle long enough to tell a good story and short enough to make sure your feet don’t get tired from standing on the boardwalk. It runs nightly and the times do change by season. The last show runs each night at 11:30pm regardless of season. If you aren’t up for standing around you can also catch the show from inside the Sirens Sip. This bar offers a seated view of the Sirens of TI show, however, each guest is required to purchase a drink. They offer water and sodas for the kids and extra special cocktails for the adults. I highly recommend the comfortable seating at Sirens Sip and the great view of the show it offers. The best part of this Vegas show is that it is all ages friendly and runs several times an evening for easy viewing.

The House of Blues Foundation Room at Mandalay Bay offers one of the best views in Las Vegas. The Foundation Room offers that “Members Only” feel with the extra fun and hospitality that Vegas is famous for. The balcony overlooking The Strip offers an amazing view of the Vegas lights. I highly recommend visiting at night in order to enjoy the breath-taking view. Combine the view with some fabulous cocktails and you have a nice place to begin or end an evening of Vegas fun. The Foundation Room is open nightly from 5pm – 2am, however, I suggest calling in advance because the cover charge tends to change nightly.
