It isn’t like we live close to Las Vegas, NV, because we lived almost 500 miles away.
Regardless of the distance they had to travel, my daughter had her wedding shower in Las Vegas.
Her entire bridal party, along with the groom and his groomsmen, all flew to Las Vegas, NV, for their pre-wedding parties. I knew they were planning on partying hard when I heard my daughter talk about legal recreational marijuana. They got two suites, one for the groom and his entourage and one for the bride and her entourage. I knew they had booked shows at strip clubs, because my daughter asked me to help her book them. I asked her if she could rent a limo while they were there so no one was driving? She told me that with all the drinking they were going to do in Las Vegas, and that Las Vegas had recreational marijuana, there was no way anyone would attempt to drive. This made me feel better, but a part of me wished I was going with them. I was wondering how much fun they were having in Las Vegas, NV, when my phone rang. It was my daughter crying and telling me how much she missed her mommy. It suddenly hit her that in another week, she would no longer be in Las Vegas, but walking down the Nile and becoming a wife. She told me she was scared, but the recreational marijuana was kicking in. I knew her fear would soon dissipate, but the headache would be with her for the entire plane ride home.
