The BIG Day

For those who know me, I am just a touch weird to say the least. I have always had a dream of being married at the "Drive-Thru Chapel of Love" in Las Vegas, by who else, but an Elvis impersonator. Well as I have gotten older I found that I have no desire what so ever to go to Vegas. So I found the next best thing. When Scott and I were on vacation last year in Pigeon Forge, TN I saw the Wedding Bell Chapel......it had a drive-thru. So I mentioned to him that when/if we got married one day I wanted to come down to that drive-thru. So Feb. 23, 2008 we did it. We planned for oh, I don't know a whole week maybe, it was supposed to be Eloping, but me and my non-secret keeping self, had to tell my mom. So her and Dave drove down too, despite the snow storms we were having all over at that time. They had to drive down thru Ohio and were making very slow time due to the inclement weather. We drove down from Allentown, PA and got to my planned stopping point of Roanoke, VA without too bad of weather. Mom and Dave had booked a hotel, and we got a rustic, private cabin. Scott decided for them, that it was dumb to get a hotel when we had the cabin with an extra bedroom, so they stayed with us...it made it a lot more fun to have my mommy there helping get ready. She curled my hair and went with me on the hunt for my Daisy's. You know the hippy in me was coming out even on wedding day. I wore one of my favorite black base with purple and blue hues of tie dye dresses with a cute purple sweater to "jazz" it up a bit. and flowers in my hair. So here are the pics.
