I have returned from my trip to Vegas; it was my first time in Vegas but I wasn’t there to gamble, I was there for a friends wedding. I can sum up my impression of Vegas in one word: expensive. We spent a whole $1 gambling but money spent on food also makes things quite expensive in Vegas. I believe that is why people gamble in Vegas, to attempt to replenish the money they spent to eat.
At any rate, like I said, I wasn’t there to gamble, I was there to attend a wedding. This may sound odd but I had never met these friends face-to-face but I have known them and I have known their voices for over 2 years. They are friends we have made from playing World of Warcraft. It was well worth the time and money to fly out there and finally put a face to the voice. It was actually extremely comforting to learn that we all get along very well even when we are not playing the game. We all got along as if we had known each other before the game even existed.
The ceremony was fantastic, Tiff looked extraordinary in her wedding dress. This union between Rich and Tiff was a long time in the making; in my opinion they were already married, this was just the formality. I had so much fun that I really hated to see the weekend end. Again, congratulations to Rich and Tiff to a match made in heaven; may your love never fade and may you both have a long and fulfilling life together. Thank you very much for giving me the honor to attend your wedding.
I definitely think that a real life guild gathering will have to be organized sometime in the future.
Locutus-
Ironic that despite the time and space that has grown between us both our first visits to Vegas were wedding related. Mine was a few years earlier, but still a fine irony involved with that. Long live the geeks.
