Who says you have to wear a dress????

This will be my last post and probably my favorite post!

Saturday, March 27th I was getting very restless from a long day of weddings. I was getting ready to coordinate the 51st wedding of the day and the limo driver tells me that the couple is waiting for me in wedding information. When I walk in I just start laughing! This couple totally made my day! James & Jessica along with all of their guests had made matching "married in vegas" t-shirts!!! I loved it! Their photographer Joe said that in his 2 years of working here he has never had a couple do this. This group was a blast.

James and Jessica have been together for 8 years. They told me that when they decided to get married in Vegas they didn't want anything too serious because they were comfortible with the relations ship they were in. So they decided no fancy dress and tux. On the front of their shirts it said "My fabulouse Wedding Las Vegas" and then on the back it said James & Jessica March 27, 2010 las Vegas, NV and had a cute picture of a bridal couple in a get-away car.

When It comes to your vegas wedding the sky is the limit. If you would like to dress up as wonder woman and superman for your wedding you are more then welcome to! Its your wedding. Be original! Make it about you. james & Jessica said they were comfortable with who they are and where they are in their lives... for them that ment matching t-shirts and jeans with 8 of their friends. For me and my husband It ment 400 of our closest family and friends with a ball gown and tux. It s your wedding! Make it your own!

Congratulations James & Jessica Bensang!!!

January Photo of the Month

Congratulations to one of our brand new Photographers Emil Rajkowski for winning January Photo of the Month!

Gary & Rachel Newland from Suffolk, England told us that they had a blast with their photo shoot! They said that Sam and Emil were just a delight to work with. Sam Zelaya was the primary photographer and Emil was the second shooter.

When you purchase a "life-style photographer" package with your wedding you too can have amazing priceless photos like this one!

Congrats again to Emil for this great photo!!!

A Storm To Remember!!

David and Renee Clauson were married in our lovely Magnolia Chapel on a lovely afternoon in January! David and Renee had quite an amazing story of how they met, being from Texas they are used to alot of strange storms, huuricanes, flooding etc., but one particular storm the power was out and Renee and her child were sitting in the dark. Renee's child happened to have a best friend that lived in the neighborhood and they decided to go to the neighbors house to wait out the storm with a little more supplies at hand. It was then in the candlelight that David had met Renee, they talked, they clicked, fell in love and several months later they came to our Chapel Of The Flowers to celebrate their love in marriage! We love it when couples share their stories of how they met, especially the unique ones! Congratulations Mr and Mrs Clauson!

Mr & Mrs Fahmi

Tuesday night we had the pleasure of working with Tamer & Janet Fahmi. They were in Vegas celibrating their 25th aniversary!!! You could tell that they were in love just as much as the first time they walked down the aisle. In all my time of doing renewals I have never seen 2 more happy!

When they arrived Tamer told Janet that he bought her a new ring. She loved it!!! They also brought with them a silk flower from her original bouquet so we added it to Tamers bout.

The ceremony went great and the couple was very happy! Congratulations Mr & Mrs Fahmi and we hope there are many more enjoyable years to come!!!

15 years and looking good!!

So we had the privilage of celebrating 15 years of marriage with Ernie and Darlene Ruelas on January 18th 2010. They were married here 15 years ago on January 17th.

They brought us an original picture of their wedding day and I couldn't believe how great Darlene looked great today in the same dress she wore 15 years ago (and Ernie didn't look bad himself)!!

Congratulations and here's to another fantastic 15 years together!

I do and a kangaroo.....

So.....on New Year's Eve as I'm coordinating in the Magnolia Chapel I get a call from one of our lovely wedding planners, she says that the groom is here with his groomsmen and a kangaroo with a bowtie on?!!! WHAT?? I never got the kangaroo's name but he was kind enough to be a witness for the ceremony. One thing I've learned about being a member of the Chapel of the Flowers team is that you never know who will show up!
