(L) Bruce and I said our "I Do's" on May 16, 2006 at the Little Church of the West in Las Vegas (L) My sister, Bernie and brother-in-law, Jim, from California walked me down the aisle, my brother, Adrian, from Toronto was our Best Man, my sister, Florence, from Toronto was our Matron of Honour. Adrian's wife. Cathy, was present along with a niece, nephew, great-nephew (and their other halves) from California. My high school friend, Theresa, and her daughter and sister-in-law were also present. And my sister's mother-in-law. (I'm sure I'm forgetting somebody :unsure: ...We didn't expect that many people to fly out to Las Vegas. But we're so happy they were there. Neither one of our children could be there but they were there in our hearts.

My sister and brother-in-law had a reception in their suite for us. My brother played quitar the whole time.....we sang and danced and had a glass of wine or two ;) What a beautiful wedding it was.......the minister performed a beautiful ceremony and the Church was so quaint you would never think for a second you were in Vegas.

We stayed at the Luxor [wow, what a casino!!] in Las Vegas (compliments of Bernie and Jim) for a week then drove to California and spent a week with them. We tried our luck at the slots.........we lost more than we won but we had tons of fun!!! :dance: We flew from Los Angoles to Maine yesterday (May 28). We had a wonderful trip but glad to get back to our own home. Bruce is off for the rest of this week and we plan on fishing (my favourite relaxation) and doing some kyaking (my first time...........I'll try anything once :wacko: ) And just enjoying spending some alone time.

Now I start on my AOS!! I have my SS # and my Maine Driver's License...that's a start.

Thanks to everybody here on the help you've given us. I'll be asking more questions regarding the AOS once I start. God bless and Hugs to all...............{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}

Congrats!! i want to go there and get married in one of those theme chapals!! Like Elvis or star trek!!

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

So many congratulations to you both, it sounds like you had a truly lovely wedding with most of your family around you.

Wishing you health and happiness throughout you lives together (F)

[The reason god put spaces in between your fingers was so another person's hands could fill it up.

CHERISH YESTERDAY, LIVE TODAY AND DREAM TOMORROW

Life is like a song... Sing it.

Life is like a challenge... Pursue it.

Life is like a sacrifice... Offer it.

Life is love... Enjoy it.
