Nothing about our time dating was traditional, like meeting on a blind date neither of us wanted to be on, almost getting married on our Vegas trip just 5 months into our relationship, or getting officially engaged just six months after we met. And the location wasn't any different; a private park inside a truck yard surrounded by props from the original King Kong movie!
Our Ceremony was short and simple, with a few minor mistakes. Like how Craig put my ring on the wrong finger, or how I forgot both my veil and my bouquet. But being able to look back and laugh about those few mistakes make our day even more special to us. The Reception was filled with food, cake, horseshoes and dancing, lasting well into the night. Our first and last dance were classics, though not typical wedding songs, Louis Armstrong's "A Kiss to Build a Dream on" and The Ink Spot's "I don't want to set the world on fire". We of course had to include songs like Cake's "Love you Madly", Marty Robbins "El Paso", which also have meaning to us (apparently I'm an evil Mexican woman who will be the downfall of Craig ;) ) Even our wedding night wasn't traditional, a few poker games after the reception and then when we did make it home, realizing we left our house key in Colton's backpack!
Here are some of my favorite photos of the day.
Look how young Craig looks here! Believe it or not, he was actually 22!

Trying to get my ring off so I could put it on the correct hand :)
This is my absolute favorite photo from that day! 
Eventually I'm going to blow it up and hang it over our bed.
