Vegas I Do’s

Wedding site
Anth and Kori wedding

Mr.and Mrs. Anthony and Kori Esparza!!!  Woohoo!  My brother and his new wife tied the knot in Las Vegas, March 8th, at Emerald at Queensridge.  The entire weekend was jammed packed with so much fun,  I coined it as “the best weekend ever”!!  First off, I have ever few photos of the weekend itself; we were having such a blast that the camera came second and since we were all in the wedding party, carrying a camera was not an option.  I certainly regret that now, as I wish I had more photos to show and recap the beautiful weekend. The photos above I took from my cousin’s FB page and am stuck with the sizes.  Gonna have to wait for the professional shots to post more. 
A snapshot of the weekend:  Scot and I brought a nanny or a Child Development Engineer, Amalie, to be an extra pair of hands for us during all the wedding events.  Family came in from New Mexico, Arizona, and Oregon….it was almost a family reunion, as we hadn’t seen some in years. everyone stayed at the Red Rock Resort, which was absolutely beautiful and perfect for our nights going it.  We went thru the rehearsal, drinks in the lobby bar, dinner, chatting as fast as we could with everyone, dying to catch up in our short amount of time.  The wedding day was INCREDIBLE!!!  A favorite moment is relaxing in the spa with Kori, chatting in the Jacuzzi and lying around in robes.  She was the ideal bride, if she was stressed you didn’t know it, just ready for her day.  Anthony and the guys headed to their spa time, as well.  The groom was cool, calm, collected, happy, and they were both so attentive to all their guests….quite an amazing pair.  I just love them both so much.  Following the spa, was all about the bride: hair, makeup, room services, champagne, and the big moment of  putting on her gown, the usual.  I loved being able to have some quiet times with my brother, Vince, his wife Melissa, and Landon and us getting time to spend with their 2 little ones, Chloe and Keegan. 
The wedding was picturesque at sunset.  The happy tears flowed down faces, especially mine, the smiles were huge, the love was abundant.  As for the reception…..food, drinks, dancing, dancing, and more dancing!!  We partied the time away until it was the bride and groom’s departure into a bubble blowing crowd of cheers.  The night didn’t stop there….we headed to Red Rock’s bowling alley, the bride still in her gown, following by playing craps in the casino before retiring to bed. 
Sleepy eyed and excited we came down the next morning for a champagne brunch to continue our chatter with family and wish Anthony and Kori a lifetime of happiness into their amazing new chapter of  life!! Sunday was a tearful goodbye to everyone, but the days we spent were overwhelming with love and amazing memories!!

Landon earned the title Ring Security aka the Ring Bearer.  Uncle Ants and Aunt Kori got his this shirt which he wore proudly.  UNFORTUANTELY, I don’t have a shot of him in his tux, definitely need to purchase one from the photographer.

Getting ready with the bride and can you believe her shoes!!!  The shoes are covered in Swarovski crystals.  052  065I brought her something blue to wear on the bottom of her shoes.
  081Landon’s first trip in a limo…don't’ be fooled by the look on his face, he LOVED it.  At the reception end he was bummed that we had to travel back to the resort in a shuttle, as he was requesting his “special car”.
