Wedding dinner


Here we are having our wedding dinner. Very nice, but VERY expensive...still at least we didn't have to cater for many people!

Thanks to the Rev. Richard Lee Conrad, who did the honours by the powers vested in him, not by God or the magistrates but by the Nevada gaming commission. Sweet.

By way of a footnote, americans in vegas love any excuse, in fact they postively look for one, to put both arms in the air and shout 'woooooooo'. It's hilarious and intensely annoying in equal measure, but they do it for anything....a win on the tables, a good sports result or just cause they feel like it.

As we got married some of the americans around us started wooooing over us, as did a few who saw us standing at the bar or going into the resteraunt. It's a strange way to congratualte us but we'll take it. They were all surprisingly nice and plesant about it.

PS. At one of the tables I heard a guy, who I presume had won some money shouting: "woooooo, woooooooo alright, alright.....that's right, hardball, hardball baby, I told you, I told you baby, that's right woooooooo...wooooooo god dammit....beers up, beers to the sky wooooooo". He was shouting that just about as loud as you could possibly shout it so I'm not sure if he was talking about our wedding or if he had won a dollar at cards.

Annoyingly Pinar has started doing it now at the slightest prompting. I always try to get them started off by doing one little wooo and getting everyone else to start going crazy.
