where the gin is cold and the piano's hot

you might have heard that Sarah and I got married last week

Okay so it's now Saturday. As you can see, I've been busy being on vacation and not writing about it. Also, while getting onto the elevator the other day, I walked past a woman on her cellphone and she was having one of those "and then we did this and then we left there and did that and we played some at that casino but we didn't win much so we decided to go to the early show and..." conversations. Crom forbid I should be sounding like that here. But before I leave (at least for the moment) travelogue mode, let me point you over to Sarah's site for links to the archived webstream. It was on Tuesday. It was performed by Elvis. While it's obvious from the webstream that we can't slow dance AT ALL, it's less so in photos and screen caps. But we didn't fall over or step on each other, so now it's just a funny story. We did not bust out crying during the ceremony. Elvis complimented my shoes. My pants didn't fall down. And now we're married. Yay us! Insider tip: while Elvis performs the ceremony, he's not legally marrying you. There's actually a minister hidden just off stage who legally pronounces you married after the event. I guess it's difficult to come up with an ordained Elvis. My only regret is that during the closing dance to "Viva Las Vegas" I didn't think to do the Batusi. That would've made an awesome screen cap.

it's so nice to be able to watch that archived video again and again. (the live webcast wasn't of the greatest quality -- it rebuffered quite a bit.) i love reliving your dance escapades! did you have any idea that was coming?

i personally was surprised (and delighted) by all the music! how much about the ceremony did you know going into it?

dance escapades indeed... at least we weren't on ice. but like sarah said, we didn't fall over or step on each other's feet so now it's just a funny story. we knew there would be three elvis songs as part of the ceremony but other than that he'd be ending with "viva las vegas" i'd forgotten which ones he'd be singing.
