Test Drive and Some Fun

Later on Wednesday, it was time to go through the dress rehearsal to make sure we knew what we were doing. This was the first time we both saw in person the Juno Garden at Caesars Palace. It was truly an amazing site.

After a quick walkthrough with everyone, it was time to have some fun! We had a shuttle take everyone down to Fremont Street. Fremont Street is the original Las Vegas. Fremont Street is a bit more raw when it comes to entertainment with a lot of street performers compared to the more curated Las Vegas Strip. There are a few casinos in this area and I finally got to experience blackjack thanks to my brother-in-law, Ryan. I understood the general idea of blackjack, just not all of the table etiquette and flow of the game. This time the table got the better of me, but I have the experience now to try it again the next time I am in Las Vegas.

After Fremont Street we went back to the hotels. After that I got to spend some time with TJ and Greg who arrived later that night and catch up on everything that had been changing over the last few years. We stayed out late into the night just like the good old days. It was a blast getting to hang out with my buddies again and just have a great time.

Time to make it official

On our first full day in Las Vegas it was time to get some things done! The first step was to go to the Clark County Courthouse to get the marriage license. Luckily, Amanda, Jacob, and I got to do this step in style and took a limo. Our driver, Nelson, who is a photographer on the side was able to help document the event. This would be the certificate the officiant would sign and we would get a final copy mailed in ten days.

Viva Las Vegas

I’m going to make a few posts about my recent trip, mostly because it was a very special one. I got married this week and I wanted to fully document it.

First up, let’s take a look at Southwest Boeing 737-800 N8671D which whisked us off to Las Vegas.

It was a fairly new plane which seems to be a trend for any flights I have to Las Vegas. Also note it was fairly cloudy and dreary in Columbus and the Las Vegas weather was set to be in the 80s, so it was nice to get away. One nice thing about Las Vegas is that flights are usually nonstop.
