Commitment Ceremony & Photos

Hi, Everyone -

The Ceremony was lovely, our Brides Maids were beautiful, and so, too, were our guests. =D> I was doing my best not to cry, but Virginia was not able to hold back her tears; it was all I could do not to reach out and wipe the tears from her beautiful face!! Virginia is wearing the hat she found the day before - we had to get it as it matched her dress perfectly!

Virginia wrote the entire ceremony, but we each wrote our own vows; we did not read what the other had written, as we wanted it to be a surprise. I do admit to glancing at Virginia's vows prior to the Ceremony, but mine were already typed and printed out at that point. As Virginia mentioned, we were pleasantly pleased to find out how closely our vows matched each other's, but then again, we shouldn't have been surprised because we're able to know what the other is thinking or going to say before they do, and we often finish each other's sentences!

Well, quite a few members have been wondering what my bridal dress looked like (we wanted to keep it a surprise), and when would we post photos of the Ceremony. I am happy to announce that Viva Las Vegas Wedding Chapel now has our Commitment Ceremony photos online, and they can be found here:

Clicking on the photos will enlarge them, and they can be viewed either individually or in the slide show mode. The brides maids in the photos are, from left to right: Nora and Holly, then Jessie and Danette. If we have to tell you which Bride is which, well, then, you're on your own!! :P

I do not remember the names of the guests in the photos, and I sincerely apologize! :oops: We did not have time to talk more with the guests while at the Chapel, and everything was on a whirl-wind schedule, or so it seemed. I'm sure that between Nora, Holly and Jessie they would be able to identify them, and I would ask that they also let me know (via PM and with their email address, if available) so I may also get in contact with them.

We're still going through the photos that we have taken during the DLV, and we promise to post those soon!! [-o<

Love ya!

- SL
