On Saturday, October 28th, a day before the wedding, friends and family start to arrive in Las
Vegas.
Rennel and his wife Natalie arrived around 10AM on Saturday and Adelina and Bill were
privileged to have breakfast with them at the Spa Canyon Ranch restaurant at the Palazzo casino.
If you get in the area, this little place on the second floor is highly recommended.
At the wedding venue for resheral at noon on Saturday, a wonderful little water fall greets
visitors as they arrive. The venue is great, with capacity for two seperated weddings at the same time,
each with a possible 100+ attending.
As Bill and Adelina arrive for rehersal, Adelina's oldest son, Joey, was there with his fiance Brooke,
and their cute 5 year old son, Evan. Evan is also the ring bearer so needs a little rehersal time.
Here we have Justin, Adelina's youngest son and the best man, practicing the walk-up along the isle
with our wedding venue host and trainer, Kimberly. She did a wonderful job in getting us ready for
the big event, even though it was like hurding cats.
Now Justin is doing it again, but this time with Courtney's mom, April, who is the Maid of Honor.
Handsome couple even without the formal dress.
Here is the ring bearer, Evan Mendoza, practicing with his mom, Brooke, for the big event the next
day. Accompanying them and providing moral and instructional support, is our venue wedding assistant, Kimberly.

Ah.. here is the beautiful bride practicing coming down that isle.. The next time, it's the BIG DEAL.
Walking with her, and giving her away the next day, is her proud dad, Greg.
Nice rehersal pic of the happy couple with Kimberly, getting instruction on actions and protocol
during the wedding itself. Dad has rehersed giving the bride away, and is now hanging back as the
discussion of what, when, where, and how ensues.
One more pic of Jordan and Courtney getting instruction from Kimberly at rehersal.
Practicing kissing the bride. Might have to do this a couple of times to make sure
they get it right during the big day.
After rehersal, there was a buffet dinner at the Palace Station Casino. A wonderful time and a chance
to meet or meet-again, both families and welcome them to the family.
Later in the day, around dinner, Bill and Adelina host a dinner at a recommended Filipinio restaurant for everyone. Food was great. People were great.
Coming back to the Palazzo with Bill and Adelina is two of Jordan's college friends. Had a few drinks
and enjoyed meeting with them.
Their hotel was across the street from the Palazzo, and since they didn't have a car with them, Bill and Adelina brought them to the Palazzo.
Nice early evening picture out front of the Venetian, before they walked off to their hotel and plans
for the evening with the younger guys.
With the rehersal over, it's now time to relax and party, enjoying the last night of freedom for
Jordan and Courtney.
Jordan and Justin and Jordan's buds, that are attending, go to the Vegas
strip to party the night before the big day.
Bill, Adelina, and some of the "older" folks spend a more subdued time on the strip. Here Rennel
(one of Adelin'a nephews), and is lovely wife Natalie, pose for pic at the Wynn. There is a great
dancing water show, which is going on right behind the photographer in this pic.
Along with Bill, Adelina, Rennel, and Natalie, Jay and Butch (or Marie, Adelina's niece), are with the
group.
A very beautiful picture of them posing at the Wynn.
Bill and Adelina have their turn at a beautiful picture at the Wynn, on the evening before the
wedding.
As you can probably tell from the picture and our dress, the weather cooperated wonderfully with the evening tempature about 70 degrees.
The weather for the entire weekend wedding was fabulous!
After a delightful walk around some of the Vegas strip, Bill, Adelina, Rennel, Natalie, Jay,
and Butch, go back to Bill and Adelina's room at the Palazzo and have a relaxing drink for the evening.
Also attending, but did not walk the strip with us, is one of Adelina's brothers, Rene. There he is on the
left. It was great having him with us.
Wedding day at last! Here is a pic of the reception area way before festivities have started. There
were about 80 people in attendance. Was a wonderful venue.
Nice picture of Adelina and her family. Looking good!
A beautiful picture of Bill and Adelina, with the reception area behind.
Here is another handsome family picture!

Adelina, Jordan (groom), Nicole (Jordan's sister), Justin (Jordan's brother and best man), Joey (Jordan's oldest brother), and in front, Joey's done, Evan, the ring bearer.
What a cute pic! Evan, the ring bearer on the right holding hands with Celeste (daugher on Adelina's
niece Jovanna). Celeste was the very cute flower girl.
The groon Jordan, along with the Pastor, Michael, getting their picture together.
It's almost time Jordan!!
Here is a nice indoor picture, at an area setup for photos. Here is Jordan (groom) on left,
along with Jordan's aunt (his fathers sister) Della, and Jordan's dad, Cliff.
Very nice family picture.
We're off! Wedding time is here! Very nice picture of Justin (Jordan's brother and best man), walking
down the aisle with April (Courtney's mother and maid of honor). Beautful!
Cute picture of Evan, the ring bearer, coming down the aisle. Close behind (with a little help
from grandma), is the flower girl, Celeste.
The very cute flower girl Celeste. She's doing the flowers beautifully!
Here comes the bride! Wow! Courtney sure is beautiful in her dress. Crying a little, but
she can be forgiven for that.
Escorted and about to be given away by a very proud dad, Greg.
Wedding services underway. What a beautiful couple!
The best man and ring bearer observing the ceremony intently.. er.. mostly intently.
A very nice "sand" ceremony at the wedding. Where Jordan and Courtney symbolize two lives,
representated by two containers of sand, poured into one container.
There two lives are now one, in the eyes of man and eyes of the Lord.
Another great part of the ceremony was Jordan and Courtney thanking those that were most important
in their lives for everything.
Here Courtney thanks her mom for all her help, advince, parenting, and love.
Jordan and Courtney thanking Courtney's grandmother for all her love and support, during the wedding.
A wonderful picture of Jordan and Courteny thanking Adelina for all the help, support, and love to
both of them.
A beautiful picture and moment!
A farther back picture of the wedding and the venue where the wedding took place, along
with the best man and ring bearer.
As mentioned earlier, the venue, Raindow Gardens, was a wonderful place! Wonderful people,
and arrangements. I'd recommend Raindow Gardens whole heartedly.
May I present... Mr. and Mrs. Jordan and Courtney Hughey!
Wow! May the Lord's blessings be upon this union and these people all the days of their lives.
Very nice picture of the wedding party!
Left to right:
April (bride Courtney's mom and maid of honor), Courtney (the beautiful bride), Jordan (the handsome groom), Justin (brother of Jordan and best man), and Evan in front (ring bearer, Jordan's Nephew)
Moving to a few pictures of the reception, here is the traditional groom and bride dance. Beautiful!
Beautiful groom/bride's mom dance. Very nice!
Another beautiful picture of the groom dancing with his mom, Adelina. Can't tell from
the picture, but mom is crying quite a bit. It was an absolutely WONDERFUL moment!
Another pic of the reception. Things got lively later and everyone had
a great time! Everything went great and it was a blessed day and event!
