Elvis has left the building!

I just got back from THE wedding. Friends from Westport, CT who also own a home in Lake Las Vegas threw a wedding for their only daughter that was an event to be written about. Sadly, I had to miss the opening weekend festivities which included a Friday night party at their home complete with entertainment by the Rat Pack and an amazing display of ice carvings and unlimited food and drink. I arrived Sat due to my Speakers School. When I arrived there was a gift waiting for me in my room, consisting of chocolates, cookies, poker chips and more. The wedding was held at The Ritz Carlton in the garden, the setting was spectacular. It was too windy to go to the next part on the Ponteveccio Bridge so we proceeded to the grand ballroom which was magically lit.

There was a table of thongs (shoes not panties) for all the gals to switch from their heels to dance in. Pashmina shawls tied to our chairs were a take home gift. Elvis did indeed entertain along with more music and dancing. I saw about 25 women that I hadn't seen in over 10 years from my days with them in the Westport Young Women's League, that was a trip down memory lane. They all got up to do a line dance which I was dragged into as I had taught them or their children at my dance studio at some point. From there, we went to the after hours coffee hour with sliders and fries and more music.

If that was not enough, the next day we went to the Loews' Hotel for a stunning brunch on the patio right on the lake. To be said "a good time was had by all" is truly an understatement!
