The Story Behind My Wedding

My husband Anthony and Me in Las Vegas at the Aquarium in Mandalay Bay!!!! Every year we go to Vegas for our Anniversary as an inside joke!!!!! For those who dont know the story behind why I will share it with you!!!!!!! 6 years ago when we got engaged I got tierd of all the wedding plains and everyone telling me when and where we should get married!!!!! I got the Brilliant idea to elope to Vegas!!!!!!! So on Janurary 20th I went to Anthony and told him lets leave tonight and go to Vegas and just get married!!!! He tired everything to talk me out of it for a good 2 hours!!!!!! He said just tell your mom you dont want to wait and we can plain a nice wedding here, and maybe we should just stop and think before we run off and do something crazy!!!! I got tierd of hereing it so I told him "FINE I AM GOING AND GETTING MARRIED WITH OR WITH OUT YOU!!!!" now think of what i said!!!! When I said that he said fine I will go with you!!!! So at 2am I left a note on my door telling my parents our plans, we got our bags and snuck out hte back window and jumped the fence and WALKED to the bus station!!!!! Well at 2 in the morning not thinking strait we took the long way and it took us 3 hours to get there!!! And the whole time Anthony kept saying lets go back just call your mom and tell her we dont want to wait a year she will understand!!!! We got to the bus station got our tickets and we were off to vegas!!! When we got there we walked up and down the strip looking for a room!!! After 4 hours we finally found somewhere that would let us rent a room even though we werent 21!!!! So we got in the room and got ready to go get married and my throat started hurting!!!!! By the time we left the room 10 mins later i couldnt even swallow or hardly talk!!!! So we went to the wedding chapel and told them we wanted to get married and they said ok all we need is the marriage lisince and 75 dollars!!!! Anthony and I looked at each other and started laughing!!!! We didnt get one we had forgotten we needed one so we had to walk all the way to the court house and get one! By the time we got back to the chaple it was 10pm and i was shaking and having cold chills and my head was pounding!!!!!! We got married and on the way back to the room we stopped and got Mcdonalds and some drinks and went to the room when we got there I was so sick I took a bath and went to sleep!!!! The next day we got on a bus and came back to Victorville!!!! When we got back we stayed at Anthonys cousins house for 2 days and i finally got the nerve up to call my mom and tell her i was ok!!!!! She was so worried that she cryed the whole time!!!! Now I dont regret getting married and not waiting a year but i should have listened to Anthony and told my parents I didnt want to wait!!!! So every year in Janurary we go to Vegas!!!!! We try to go on the 21st but it doesnt always work out!!!!
