First batch of pictures!

Our good friend and guest Sylvia Suh took these pictures. Thanks for letting us post these, Sylvia! The chronology of these is reversed, starting with the reception and going back to the beginning of the wedding.

Entering the reception

Nice table decor!

Our beautiful cherry-blossom cake. Erika was going to tell the story of when we went to the Cherry Blossom Festival in DC earlier this year, had a great time, but came back to a flooded apartment (it was an accident!) She lost the compulsion to tell the story, though, as it is sort of long and she was too busy cutting and eating the cake. Anyway, cherry blossoms representin'!

Our dance to the accordian in the lobby in the Venetian.

Oh boy.

Thank you!

We've hardly been back home, but the first thing we'd like to do is thank all of our wonderful guests for sacrificing their time and personal lives to come out to Vegas just for little ol' us. Most importantly we'd like to thank Erika's mom and Terry for doing such an amazing job on the reception, not to mention taking care of so many extras and working harder than anybody else to pull off the best Vegas wedding ever! Also a big thanks to Erika's grandparents for helping us pick up some major tabs and hosting us while we were in Colorado. Of course, we wish Sasa's family could have been there, but we thank them very much for being so supportive and thoughtful of us. We look forward to visiting Serbia soon for some quality time! One last thanks to everyone who wished us well and wanted to be there. It means a lot that so many people were thinking of us.

A special thanks to:

Karlan for traveling so far to be the best maid-of-honor ever.

Dalibor for being the best best man ever.

Amanda for being the best unofficial bridesmaid ever.

Aris for helping us get around.

Heather and Kim for being the best glam squad ever, in a time crunch no less! Everyone was amazed by my fabulous look.

Gordon and Jonathan for helping with the reception room. Everything was perfect!

Maria for being there in spirit.

Uncle Mike and Chess for the fabulous use of the Mandalay Bay and for hanging out in Colorado.

This week's forecast

Looks like typical Vegas weather for this week!

Update

The time is swiftly approaching when we'll be playing blackjack and hanging out with Elvis! For those of you who do not know the fine points of our itinerary, we will be leaving Baltimore on Tuesday the 28th and staying in Vegas until August 3rd. From there, we will take a mini roadtrip via rental car to the Grand Canyon and then up to Colorado. We will then fly from Colorado Springs to Baltimore on August 7. We're charging our camera batteries and are really looking forward to seeing everybody!
