Tuesday March 2nd, 2010
We arrived in Vegas on Tuesday, went to check into Planet Hollywood and were in our room with in the hour of touching down. We then hoped into our sweet convertible (rental car) and ran all of our errands. Thankfully one of J's friend, Scott, had lived in Vegas so he knew his way around town, so he was our "tour guide" we went to the court house to get our wedding licence. Headed over to Best Buy for our iPod docking station and then onto Costco for the reception needs.
Made it back to our room just in time to head out on the town for our Bachelor/Bachelorette parties. J and I both walked into our rooms at about 3:30 am!

J had to run out and pick up a few more things for the day of while I relaxed by myself in our room. I took a very long and hot bath...Girls I recommend this!!! relax, de-stress, try not to over think things and BREATH.
We also had a "rehearsal dinner" with out a rehearsal. most of the wedding party are huge Top Chef fans, so we thought a great wedding thank you gift would be dinner at CraftSteak! GO there if you can, Yes our bill was $1200 for 8 people, but we were full for days and have memories to last a lifetime!!
