Some time ago we decided that we'd get married by Elvis in Las Vegas.
We couldn't just go to the US for a few days, so we decided to make a holiday of it.
What follows are the photos and stories of our trip.

The Big Day

The big day started with breakfast in our room. Dani turned up around 11.30 am in time to head down to the Salon for a massage. We chose one called the "Goodluck Ritual Massage" and it lasted around 80 minutes - very relaxing. Then it was time for Luke to get his haircut and shave and Dani and I to get our hair, makeup and manicure/pedicures done. I wish I had of done my makeup myself after seeing the end result, however it was too late! I asked for a natural look - I'm guessing that means something different in the US than it does in Australia! Anyway, after four hours of pampering we were ready to go back to the room and get dressed.

Luke obviously finished before us, so he went and bought the champas etc. Ben, Cyryla, Merrilyn and Alan arrived for drinks and then it was time to go downstairs to hop in the limo to the chapel.

We got to the chapel and when we stepped out it was like getting out into a wind tunnel! We got inside and then Luke and I were whisked away to make our grand entrance in the Pink Caddy. The rest of the ceremony went by fast, and then it was time to have our photos taken and then into the limo again to go for dinner.

We had dinner at Spago's which is located at Caesars Palace. The place is huge, so it was a bit of a trek to get there, but the meal was well worth it. Our waiter Charles was a hoot and kept us entertained for the evening.

Once dinner was finished it was time to go back to our room so that everyone could pick up their belongings and say our goodbyes as we were all going our separate ways the next morning.

Some people have asked so here are a few photos from the day.
