Fairy Tales

Well the wedding has taken place. All things fell into place as if they were meant to turn out that way. The only hitch was the heat. We arrived in the middle of a record heat wave that continued until our departure.
In a land of the unique it seems we were the standouts. We had anticipated more couples tying the knot in a medieval fashion at the Excalibur, but we were the only ones in full armor. Many in the casino assumed that we were the stars of some unadvertised show.
After the ceremony in the Canterbury Chapel our party moved on to the Round Table for our reception supper. The manager of the Round Table stated that she had seen many try to do what we had done for our wedding. But we had done the best job she had ever seen. Most of our party were in costume fitting to the time period. We had in attendance-knights, ladies in waiting, fairies, monks, strong men and the King of Rock and Roll. It was a hoot and great fun.
After supper we retired to our suite for home made wine and red velvet cake with French cherries. There were fine cigars, bubbles, nuts and mints.
Our rooms were full of merry making, sharp things and happiness.
