Married in Vegas, Baby!

Well, we finally did it. Maria's mom and dad got married. In Vegas. In a drive-through. In a limo. Maria, Manolis, and I drove over last weekend. My sis and brother-in-law came from California, my brother flew in on Saturday. Manolis' friends were all either working or half a world away. We got married in the early afternoon at the "famous" Little White Wedding Chapel; the minister was about 45 min late -- kind of ruins the idea of a drive-through, but anyway... It was fun.

After the short, sweet ceremony, we had delicious desserts from the Lenotre at the Paris Hotel/Casino (our "wedding cake"), then dinner (our "reception") at the Mon Ami Gabi, also at the Paris. No muss, no fuss, no planning, no stress. I didn't invite my folks (or anyone else besides Uncle Andy, Auntie Rose, or Uncle Paul) and I get the impression they're not amused. Think of the money they saved by not having to throw me a wedding...

We got a super cool 3D image of Manolis, Maria, and I in a block of "crystal" from Cashman Crystal at the Luxor. We'll try to take a picture and put it on Maria's website.

Maria's doing great. Eating, drinking, standing in the stander. Her ankles are at 90 degree angles more often, she can sorta sit up propped with pillows, she's rolling from back to tummy maybe almost once a day -- not too consistently but more than before! The therapists remain happy with her progress. We remain optomistic.
