Down, but back!

Our site was down the past few days, becuase it was hacked!
But now we’re back, and to celebrate our return, we have changed the look of things! Same great posts, same great comments, just a new look.
We’re both very excited about the wedding! It is coming so close now.
We are going to Las Vegas in July (for our 7th trip), because we’re idiots and love going to the desert in the middle of the summer, but also to take some awesome Vegas photography.

I think it’s funny how people are reacting to the the idea of us getting married in Las Vegas.
There are those people that are really really against it, saying that it’s cheesy, tacky, and then we find out that they haven’t even been to Las Vegas! Then, there are those people that see nothing wrong with Vegas, but just don’t want us to get married there because of their busy schedules, or that they can’t afford it, so they wouldn’t be able to attend. And that’s completely understandable.
What shocks me most is when I hear from people out of the blue–people I haven’t spoken to in years–who tell me things like “hey I read your blog and you mentioned Vegas and I just want to let you know I think it’s a fabulous idea,” and how they “were at a wedding there recently and it was lots of fun and really classy.” These surprise people make me smile, because they go to Vegas for the first time, and they see other people getting married there, and there’s an understanding that develops between them and us as to why we want to go there so bad.
What also makes me laugh, is the fact that we’re even still talking about getting married in Vegas in general. Melissa and I wanted to get married there when we first went there a long time ago, but in the past year we’ve come to the realization that it isn’t practical because we want lots of family and friends to be there. But here we are today, with a poll on the right side of this page, asking people if they’d join us in Vegas to get married. And a variety of different answers.
With all the trouble we’ve been having booking this wedding, suddenly Vegas doesn’t seem like a pipe dream anymore. In all likelihood, it won’t happen, but it’s funny when we talk to people–who were always against us going to Vegas–about all the disagreements that have gone on, and suddenly they’re all like “Wow…. hmmm… yeah, you know what? Just get married in Las Vegas!!” Hells yeah!!
