Happy 12-Year Anniversary

Paris Las Vegas hotel: The happy couple waiting for the limo to wedding

Today is Kris and Abby's wedding anniversary. We were married on April 1, 2003 in Las Vegas, Nevada at the height of the 2003 Invasion of Iraq. The wedding party stayed at the Paris Las Vegas hotel, which was near empty due to the anti-French backlash at the time (Remember freedom fries?) Too bad the hotel had no connection to France except for its theme and decor. We all had a great time.

The ceremony took place at The Little Church of the West – the same wedding chapel where Elvis Presley and Ann Margret got married at the end of the film "Viva Las Vegas." The Little Church is unique in other ways; built of California redwood, it is a detailed replica of a typical pioneer town church. And, as the oldest building on the Las Vegas Strip, it is listed on the United States National Register of Historic Places.
