The meeting...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jason and I met on-line at afronetwireless.com in August of 2004. Innocently enough we chatted as friends, but on December 23rd Jason openly declared he knew I was his wife and at that point we decided we were going to get married. 3 months afterthat he surprised me at my job with our (then 1 year old) son and presented me with my ring in the presemce of my "Poppa" and my co-workers. 11 months later we were married in Las Vegas.

Wedding recap...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Saturday morning...
It's 5am and I can't sleep, I'm still on Detroit time I think. I got dressed and went to Paris (hotel) and had breakfast at the cutest little cafe called Le' Cafe' it was so she-she!! I had a croissant, sausage, and a Mimosa and just relaxed. I was alone with my thoughts; Jason spent the night w/his brother so we wouldn't see eachother before the ceremony. I would have to say my breakfast solo was one of the highlights of my entire day. Now let me tell yall what I did to my husband. I told him he had to come back to our room at exactly 9:30am I left a note in a bag for him to come into the room. When he came in he found a baseball hat I had made for him to match the Polk High jersey I had made for him father's day. There was a note and an envelope telling him to walk to a certain part of the hotel (he would be at the spa entrance) and when he could open it. Inside the envelope was a gift certificate for a manicure and parafin treatment for him at the hotel's spa @10am. He called me almost in tears when he got the hat thanking me. When I showed up at the spa to get my make-up done my sister said he was cheesing. My hunny's hands were baby smooth too. I wasn't super pleased with my make-up, it was okay but I think I could have done better. Everyone else thought I was gorgeous including my husband so I was happy. I quickly got dressed and the photographer showed up. We all loaded up in the limo and away we went. I get a call on my cell from my frantic husband telling me that my brother-in-law doesn't have his tuxedo pants; they didn't put them back in the bag after the final fitting!!!! I just told him to have him put on something and get his butt to the chapel (hence...why you all saw a guy with a tuxedo top, shorts, dress socks and shoes) It was hilarious...I will have pics to post of this. The store did eventually show up with is pants so all was not lost; well at least not with us because by the time I got through with them Tuesday we were reimbursed for 2 tuxedos. I don't play that when I'm spending my money!! The wedding was picture perfect and so was my husband! I have never heard a wedding ceremony performed the way the minister did it. Her (yeah! we had a chick minister, and she is from Flint, MI isn't that deep? Jason is from Flint for those who don't know) words were so touching and really hit home, I can't wait to get them DVD's!! Jason looked amazingly handsome and when he turned to face me during our ceremony and I saw his tears, my day was complete right then and there.
We took all of our pictures (with our second photographer) at the Bellagio hotel and I can't wait to get them back! Oh I am just itching to see how my "must takes" turned out. It was awesome to have people oogling at us while we were getting snapped by our fabulous photographer Todd.
On our way back to our hotel room we heard music coming from one of the clubs and we went in to check it out. They cleared the dance floor for us and applauded as we got our groove on. Then the dj played "I just wanna get married" and "Wifey" and had us get up on the stage and dance as he introduced us. There was a couple there who bought us a drink and one by one people came up to us wishing us well and giving us sound advice. That, to me, was our reception! We finally made it up to our room very late, and very...errr...spirited.
My happily ever after had FINALLY begun...who could ask for more?
