Monday

For a while there we had a figurative cat in a bag, and I guess it's out of that bag now. Last night, Sunshine and I emailed notice of our Las Vegas wedding to everyone we had an address for. This email included a link to the Little White Wedding Chapel where we were married. Their site will be hosting the video of our ceremony for the next twenty-odd days.* That chapel can be found online here, and the video is here, although you will have to use Windows Media Player to view it. Free downloads of Media Player can be found here, if necessary. But this cat is even farther from that bag, now. You can also read notice of our wedding at this celebrity blog. Now, a hundred thousand people I don't know have read about this cat. Sadly, I immediately began receiving email delivery failure notifications last night, so there are people I actually know who haven't yet heard the news. There's a chance you are reading about this for the first time at Neil's blog right now. I enjoyed getting married in Vegas--in the same Little White Chapel which hosted similar events for Sinatra and the characters in Friends. The Chapel has a drive-thru window to accommodate handicapped couples. It's covered by a Little Tin Roof painted with cherubs and stars. They call this drive-thru the "tunnel of love." We got married inside one of the little chapel rooms. Our pianist kept yelling "Mazel Tov" and offered to bring us a glass to stomp. Was this because of my dashing fedora? Our photographer, a Sammy Davis, jr. impersonator, called me a gangster when I didn't smile quickly enough. Later, he handed us the roll and told us to take it to CVS. Awesome. [Cavin]


* The Chapel hosts the video for thirty days, but we also got a DVD-R hardcopy, so if interested parties somehow fail to make the video work before the deadline, I will still be able to distribute copies someday. Anyone with the wherewithal to capture the streaming source and upload it permanently to YouTube would be doing me a favor. Hint hint.
