    and flying to Vegas to do so; where the hell would you do it? Should it be with an Elvis Minister? Or in a hotel? And seeing as its just likely to be about five kiwis would it be funny if a heap of sorabjites turned up?

    Hint. I will be the one in the white dress.

    Also, looks like late Feb/March 2010.


By Nate on Wednesday, October 22, 2008 - 02:48 am:

    damnit, i'm banned from vegas.

    i'd go with elvis.


By kazu on Wednesday, October 22, 2008 - 09:36 am:

    If you are going to do Vegas, you have to use Elvis.

    Otherwise, what's the point?


By sarah on Wednesday, October 22, 2008 - 10:40 am:


    drive thru







By moonit on Wednesday, October 22, 2008 - 02:56 pm:

    I can't do drive through, thats just crazy.

    Nate wtf did you do to get banned from Vegas or is this an personal banning?

    I will be flying to LA first for touristy shit while Mr Grumpy will be skiing Canada and wherever he decides to go in the states before meeting up in vegas.


By Nate on Wednesday, October 22, 2008 - 03:36 pm:

    it's personal. it was a $4K weekend about 4 months into my year long unemployment of '03.

    it might be time to lift the ban.


By heather on Wednesday, October 22, 2008 - 04:59 pm:

    if america is still around and i am still in america i will totally meet you there


By sarah on Wednesday, October 22, 2008 - 05:21 pm:

    congrats on your, um, engagement. is this recent? i'm sorry i'm not more up on the status of things.

    you should go in march, the weather will be beautiful there.

    i think drive thru would be cool if you got a huge limo and everyone you wanted to be there could fit inside :)

    Yay, moonit!

    Unfortunately, I have no recommendations for a Vegas wedding. My parents got married at my mother's family church, St. Viator's, where the ushers at their wedding were mafia men, and the priests routinely ended their sermons with, "We accept donations in casino chips."

    As a niece of Las Vegas' Director of Business Services, however, I can tell you this: if you apply for a wedding license in Las Vegas (I don't know if you can or would, not being a US citizen, but...for what it's worth), and you encounter people waiting for you outside the license hall trying to strong-arm you into getting married at their chapels, they're breaking the law and you can report them.


By semillama on Wednesday, October 22, 2008 - 05:51 pm:

    Screw Elvis.

    You have to get a Pirate Wedding at Treasure Island!!!

    "The Enchantment package features a wedding on board Treasure Island's pirate ship. Guests are seated along an outdoor patio overlooking Sirens' Cove. The groom, best man and ship's captain board a pirate ship and wait for the bride's entrance along a rose-covered walkway. For the right amount of gold, rogue pirates will serve as witnesses and a pirate may even swing down from the crow's nest to deliver the wedding rings."


By moonit on Wednesday, October 22, 2008 - 06:39 pm:

    omfg a pirate wedding is awesome! hah thats hilarious. We've been engaged for about three years Sarah so you didn't miss anything. We're not really fussed about getting married; but Andrew decided he wanted to go skiing in Canada/US and I said he could on the condition I get a wedding out of it. :)


By moonit on Wednesday, October 22, 2008 - 06:40 pm:

    Spider, I think Andrew would be amused by that!


By patrick on Wednesday, October 22, 2008 - 07:25 pm:

    i dunno, surely there's a rat pack marriage outfit somewhere.

    congratulations. i am certain i will be no where near vegas to come supervise nate....sadly.


By platypus on Wednesday, October 22, 2008 - 07:59 pm:

    Congratulations, moonit! I personally think you should opt for the drive-through, just for sheer camp factor, although the pirate wedding is definitely quite awesome.

    I've never actually been to Las Vegas, so I guess seeing it for the first time with a bunch of kiwis would be entertaining.


By platypus on Wednesday, October 22, 2008 - 08:00 pm:

    Also, you should fly to San Francisco first for touristy shit, because then you can get the Northern California Sorabji Experience (TM).


By Nate on Wednesday, October 22, 2008 - 10:15 pm:

    the NCSE(tm) is not to be missed.


By moonit on Wednesday, October 22, 2008 - 10:43 pm:

    I would love to travel the entire vastness of the US; but sadly did not win the 30 million dollar nz powerball last week.

    I think I will have to sit down with Q&T (our friends that are coming with me while Andrew and Ged are off skiing) to work out where they want to go and then come up with some sort of plan so we know how much money we need to save.

    I know Andrew was quite keen to go and visit our crazy friend Al who moved to Hawaii a few years ago.


By jack on Thursday, October 23, 2008 - 10:13 pm:

    i have no insight into vegas whatsoever but i just wanted to say rock the fuck out, moonit and andrew!


By moonit on Thursday, October 23, 2008 - 10:18 pm:

    I'm just really excited about candy. Is that sad?

    and OMG Cookies and Cream kit-kats!


By platypus on Thursday, October 23, 2008 - 11:22 pm:

    Do we need to have a fall candy exchange?


By moonit on Thursday, October 23, 2008 - 11:56 pm:

    depends if you want chockito bars and cherry ripes and cookies and cream kit kats. all new to nz (although cherry ripes and chockito's used to be available and then nestle stopped supplying nz; just aus and whenever anyone goes to aus they have to bring them back)


By sarah on Tuesday, February 3, 2009 - 11:21 am:


    so moonie, any wedding plan updates?




By Dr Pepper on Tuesday, February 3, 2009 - 12:49 pm:

    moonit, you have to ride a boat or ferry to aus to buy a nestle? What a shame!


By moonit on Tuesday, February 3, 2009 - 04:59 pm:

    Wedding plan update so far:

    Mum wants to visit Star Trek world. I do not.

    It looks like March 2010 is happening. Although if the NZ dollar goes under 50cUS again I may cry.

    Am thinking about Valley of Fire; or a indoor venue.

    can't decide between on strip; off strip or an apartment either. So much to think about! Was watching CSI the other week and Andrew yelled something about the MGM because it was in a shot.

    think he is secretly more excited than he pretends to be.
