Elvis is alive and well, and performing vow renewal ceremonies!
dOur first night's dinner in Las Vegas.  We ate at Todd English's restaurant, Olives, at the Bellagio.  Joe and I are originally from Boston, where Todd's first restaurant, Olives, is situated (technically it's in Charlestown).  Our first alone dinner ever was at the C-town Olives, just a short while before we began dating, so this was a special restaurant for us!  We were seated on the outside terrace where we got to watch many fountain shows that the Bellagio is famous for.bel

What is this...the prom?
Our Blackjack table companions.  They said they were in a Ping Pong tournament that night.  Their team was called "Pong Jovi", and they made our Blackjack experience the most fun ever!  We went through 3 dealers who were all laughing their butts off!Pong JoviWe celebrated our 10th anniversary a little differently than our original ceremony, but we had a lot of fun!  Isn't that what marriage should be?  

Here's our wedding in 1998.
