the Bride. also seen: here, here, here, & here Oh Vegas. quite possibly my favorite quote out of this trip is our friend asking the cab driver: “how do you get into a little bit of trouble? maybe just like PG-13 trouble?” And while we didn’t end up finding much trouble, we did have lots of fun. slots of fun.
