At 5′ 1″ tall, I have to look up at everyone except kids and even some of them I have to look up to once they grow passed my height. Frank is 5′ 7″ so I don’t have to look too high up. This was our wedding almost 4 years ago in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was fun and non-pretentious. Getting married by an Elvis impersonator was perfect for us!
Our Elvis impersonator showed us a good time at our very short wedding ceremony!

That is spectacular! It really is a cool thing to do. It was perfect for us. We spent all our money on the 10 day honeymoon instead of a big wedding. It was our 2nd for each of us so didn’t really need much more. 🙂

After the pandemic, I highly recommend it. It is just simple FUN! Thank you for the compliment. He found me on a dating ap over 16 years ago. We wanted to make sure it was going to last before getting hitched after 12 years. LOL!

Yeah, it was time. Finding the right one is like finding a needle in the haystack. The great part about online dating is that you don’t have to go to a smoky loud bar. Relationships that start off as a party, usually don’t last. Hence my first 18 1/2 year marriage. Too young and hard to grow up together especially when the kids came along pretty quickly. Lessons learned. 🙂

Oh — you were married for 18 1/2 years? I know long marriages can still break up but it’s different when you know someone who’d actually experienced it.. i do understand your struggles during the first marriage and i am glad you found happiness again!

During my first marriage, I stuck it out until my two oldest were 17 & 18. My youngest was 11. I couldn’t do it anymore. There hasn’t been a day go by with Frank that I thought about leaving or needing to get out. We are soul mates and completely compatible. 🙂

How fun and Happy Anniversary! My daughter and the Handsome Surveyor got married at the Taco Bell Chapel in Vegas because she’s a Taco Bell nut. He loves her and humored her. They were going to have a “real” wedding several months later, but Corona Virus came to the country, and … so we’re all waiting for the country to open up more then they’ll have their “real” wedding. 😀

Our wedding anniversary isn’t until March but in 2 days, we will have officially been together for 16 years. So it is kinda an anniversary. We actually met face to face on 1/7/05 after meeting online on a dating ap and talking for 3 weeks on the phone. We haven’t been a part since except I lived in Tampa and he lived in Jacksonville. That is super cool about getting married at the Taco Bell Chapel in Vegas. I love Elvis so Frank humored me. He enjoyed it almost as much as I did. 🙂

Our anniversary is also in March. It’s either the 27th or 28th. I can never remember which. I have to look it up or ask He-Man. I do remember it was the last Saturday of the month that year. This March will be our 40th married and 42 years together this summer.
I think The Handsome Surveyor enjoyed the wedding too, but he still wants his “real wedding” They’re hoping this year they can do it.

Yes. He sang “Hawaiian Wedding Song” when walking me down the aisle. Then we danced while he sang “Can’t Help Falling In Love” and finished with “All Shook Up”. We paid for 3 songs and I got to choose which ones. I would have loved for him to sing “Viva Las Vegas” at the end but he wasn’t very good at that one. LOL! 🙂

You don’t know what a boost I needed!! Your review was like sunshine on a really grey day.
I’m struggling with the plot of the sequel, but I have hope of publishing it around Mothers Day. My characters just want to sit around and talk all day, though. I’m afraid it’s boring as hell. Must encourage them to do something!!!

You got stuck before where they didn’t want to do anything in the campground. Light a fire up their ass! Mother’s Day….that’s pretty quick. Maybe you need someone to help brainstorm. You have my email and number if you want to do that. I have some ideas, but I don’t want to broadcast them here. I’ve been thinking about working on my book again too, but I’m still designing products for my shop. 🙂
