Vegas Vacation Part II - The Wedding
So, I know this vacation was 2 months ago now but thinking about it made me think about losing the pregnancy and I guess it all hit me harder than it did at first. I'm feeling a little better now so I'll fill you in on the rest of the trip.
My mom remarried on March 29th, 2006. I truley believe that she is with her soulmate now (who we'll call K). How many people can be separated by 3 states for almost 30 years, not talk for 15 years and meet back up without skipping a beat. It was hard for me to accept their relationship at first; it did break up my family. After the shock of the whole situation wore off (maybe I'll post about it later; maybe I won't; we'll see), I really started to like K.
Mom and K got married at the Stardust in Las Vegas. That was the main reason we went out there. The ceremony was really nice. We thought it would be some cheesy Vegas thing but I thought it was nicer than some other weddings I've been to. The reverend who married them was really nice. He said some really nice things. I had to sign the marriage certificate. That was really weird. I never in a million years thought I'd be signing my mother's. Shouldn't she be signing mine?
So, I now have a step-father and 2 step-brothers. K's son C came out to Vegas with his wife but the 2nd son wasn't there. He and K don't really have much of a relationship (really long story). I'm glad I got to be there for my mom. At first I wasn't sure if I should go. I felt like a traitor to my father. But, like it or not, she's still my mother and nothing can change that.
Here's a picture of my new family:

hey! nothing wrong with vegas weddings.... that's were Chris and I got married!!!!
but very cute :)
tellyour mom i said hello (havent seen her in like 10 years)
I know there's not anything wrong with Vegas weddings. They almost got married outside in what Stardust said was a "gazebo". It was an arch with some white gauzey stuff and some ribbons. Mom took one look at that and said "yeah, we're having it inside." I thought the guy that married them would have to keep saying "here at the beautiful Stardust Hotel and Casino" or something.
D and I were thinking about going to Vegas for awhile but we decided Hawaii would be better. He has friends there too.
