(Dry cleaning those jumpsuits must be murder!) We instead had the Reverend Gary Shroyer at the Little Chapel of the Flowers. He was terrific, and we're coming up on our 12th anniversary this summer!Craig Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06037542638067599437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070623657970000135.post-37179516970108176432012-03-25T00:22:59.057-07:002012-03-25T00:22:59.057-07:00I'm glad you are fond of Las Vegas because you...I'm glad you are fond of Las Vegas because you got married there. Many people apparently like it because they got divorced there.

If I go back I will try to see at least one!Craig Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06037542638067599437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070623657970000135.post-47585422794023047092012-03-22T09:09:20.871-07:002012-03-22T09:09:20.871-07:00I don't know how you feel about Las Vegas, Cra...I don't know how you feel about Las Vegas, Craig, but there's probably nowhere you can go on the Strip without bumping into a Cirque du Soleil production. (The most spectacular has got to be "O," which turns the stage into a giant swimming pool.) But we in Santa Monica think of the Cirque as OUR troupe too. Quite frequently they pitch their big striped tent right on our beach, which they consider a second home. It's all that "soleil" here that draws them, I think!Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15515783219367479399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070623657970000135.post-59399237735301447532012-03-20T20:27:57.105-07:002012-03-20T20:27:57.105-07:00Wow.

I hope I get to experience it one day!Craig Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06037542638067599437noreply@blogger.com
