Then it was off to the romantic Golden Nugget, home base for the few days we'd be in Vegas. After a quick shower, we hit two of my favorite Vegas hangouts, the Double Down and Dino's. Good times!
On wedding day, I woke up and headed out for some alone time at Red Rock Canyon. Headed up Turtlehead Peak. Great scenery, awesome park, I'll always go here for a run when I'm in Vegas. Turtlehead Peak is a great five-ish mile run, should have been easy but I clipped a rock on the way down and fell hard. Lots of blood, and I jacked my shoulder up pretty good. Still hurts today.
After heading back to the hotel and cleaning up, $100 and I headed off to the Neon Museum for some actual professional pics. I'll post those when I get 'em.
After that, it was more goofing off and drinking. We were married by the good folks at A Little White Chapel, because if they've married such good folks as Michael Jordan, Brittney Spears, Darryl Strawberry, Slash, Bruce Willis & Demi Moore, and Silvester Stallone, then damnit they were good enough for us! We didn't actually go to the chapel, but got a limo/pastor/photographer package to have the ceremony beneath the Vegas sign. Classy.
I needed a ring for the ceremony, so $100 picked one up for me at a gas station for less than three bucks. It doubles as a bottle opener. She is allowing me to go ringless, I told her I can't stand jewelry but we all know a wedding ring ruins my chances to pick up chicks. $100's ring was much more expensive, picked up in a thrift store next door to Moonlight Pizza in Salida.
The wedding party. Thanks to all who came out to make it such a memorable experience!
Still going through a ton of pics, and I'll post the good ones as I come to them.

Much love to you both!
Awesome pics and blog posts! I think it's cool that you wore the "Game Over" shirt.
