Our Las Vegas Wedding

Our Las Vegas Wedding ( For My Love) As our feet finally touch down on safe terra firma Thoughts of our marriage could not be further Jet lagged and weary In a strange foreign land From our port hole window Bright lights...rock silhouette, Darkness disguising its sand. Overwhelmed and exhausted Blackpool times a million is the feeling i get As we step into the terminal, From our large jumbo jet. First sound we hear is the jingles of fruit machines Welcoming you to Vegas Its not all that it seems! Just a teaser...a taster...a hint if you will A fantasy land to the tourists, A slave to the dollar bill My comparisons to a large Blackpool Could not be further from the truth As we stand dumbfounded and wowed by its majestic proof! The reason for our visit is our imminent marriage As we wait nervously for our luxury carriage Wee Kirk of the Heather Chapel is our quaint destination, Chosen for Scottish links To be the venue of our elation! My mind is awash with mistakes i may make A dropped ring or a kiss the wrong way My bride smiles and reassures me....she feels the same way! Standing at the altar..as chapel door opens My beautiful bride in blue appears My heart starts to race as i choke back a tear Soon we unite at the head of the alter Its now that i realise this is natural Im calm, i will not falter! Preliminary vows are read by the Minister Uniting our vows To pronounce us Mrs and Mr Our evident relief As we walk from the chapel Hand in hand to the flash of the camera We kiss on the boulevard to start a new chapter in our life So here's to our future, And did i mention....My beautiful wife!

wow, this is so sweet! I have been through Vegas but am not familiar with its landmarks. This makes me curious to know if you married a long time ago when Vegas was a bit different from how it is today. and if this happened a long time ago, curious to know how the marriage turned out! I really enjoyed this one.
