For those of you that were at Tom and Jen’s wedding, you will probably remember and laugh your butts off, for those of you that couldn’t be there,,,,,,,,Im sure you’ll find this enjoyable and chuckle too.
It was July 2000 and we were all staying at the Stratosphere, Wayne, Shirley, Roger, Tom, Jen, Mark and I. Our room was actually right across from Tom and Jen.
It had been decided that the night before the wedding, Tom would stay in our room and I would be staying with Jen. So after a night of "pre wedding parties Vegas style" the wedding day came a little fast. The next morning while I was showering my husband had a minor issue with the sprinkler head in our room. As the hotel rooms started to flood and the intercom lady was telling the whole hotel not to panic, but get out, (I’m telling ya it was crazy)our hallway filled with hotel security. With all the commotion that was going on and everyone trying to keep the wedding dress dry, and still trying to figure out what was going on, Wayne talked to the Hotel people and calmly got us a new room. Mark then informed me that the hotel would view the tapes to see if the damages would be billed to our room. As I went into panic mode wondering how we would ever take care of that expense, Wayne stopped me, he gave me that look –you know the look he gives you when he looks above his glasses-and he said, ”Does the front desk have your credit card number?” I told him no. So, with a Wayne smile he just said, “Don’t worry about it, nothing they can do!”-----This story is told or used (to teach you what NOT to do to sprinkler heads in any room!) quite often every year!
