Day 116

Vegas zero

Woke up early despite being in a bed for once. It is wedding day!!!!!!!! I’ve never been so excited. Klara and I slept on the pull out while the guys slept in the other bed. We were promised the bed tonight which is what I wanted bc nothing is worse than sleeping out in a room on a shitty bed while your drunk with the potential for other people to be going in and out of the bathroom. We rotted for a good amount in the morning and door dashed Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal with milk. Glorious. So good. We went down to the pool which was so nice but it is so goddamn hot in Vegas that it made me physically sick. Then the getting ready began. The sacred girly pop time of relaxing, getting dressed, doing your makeup, and heading out. This is the best part of every night out. Took a shower and just as I was blow drying my hair, Ben aka the bard showed up. Exactly to the day, one month later, the crew is reunited for Marc’s wedding. It was so good to see him especially since he wore his hiker clothes. Like nothing has changed. Made me giggle though. I was dressed in a dress, and the guys made comments that it was so weird to see me all girly. It was weird even for me goddamit as I have been so used to being so fucking disgusting all the time. It was a very nice change and made me excited to be home for good in about a month and a half. The guys headed out to meet Marc while we met Leonie in her room to help her with makeup and hair. She didn’t need much help as she is gorgeous and knew what she was doing. Her outfit was perfect especially as it included white cowboy boots. We all did our makeup (again freaked me out, not used to seeing myself with makeup but absolutely loved it). We headed downstairs to catch an uber but also trying to dodge the guys so Marc doesn’t see her. Almost entirely failed as their uber was slow. The hotel was also giving out free sangria so we were sipping on that, along with the champagne I had in the room, I was already tipsy and feeling great. Luckily, I don’t think Marc saw so we hopped in the uber and we were on our way to get them hitched. We were going lucky little chapel. Once we got there, she had flowers, and a veil all ready for her which I helped put in her hair. The receptionists were cracking up at our jokes which made Klara and I’s ego go through the roof. We met the boys in the waiting room before being seated. For a Vegas wedding, it was pretty good. Very clean, short, and sweet. They had a photographer there and the woman marrying them had a great voice. Leonie’s and Marc’s vows were everything. Very much them and so so so so cute. They are going to have a lifetime of love and happiness. It had everyone tearing up which the photographer gave us tissues for. After they said their vows it was time to kiss and most importantly have their witness aka me sign their marriage license. All jokes aside I was very honored that they included me in such a big milestone in their lives. I love them so much and I am so happy for them. We had time to kill after as they had a surprise for us for dinner so we headed back to the hotel for an outfit change. We then headed out to flight club which is a dart throwing bar where Leonie and Marc were so kind to pay for as well as have food already ordered. I hate trying new things in front of people especially if it’s competitive as I hate being bad at things. After a couple of rounds I was throwing spinners, locking me in with two wins. I don’t know if it was luck or not but I’m going with pure skill, all developing in a couple of rounds. Also to fully brag that I had 2/3 replay videos that happened bc I was so goated. Ben had the other but my celebrations were 10x better lol. After, I had to change into my clubbing outfit which if you know anything about me, imma flaunt what I got. But I was nervous as again, the guys have never seen me in this shit. Idk why I was nervous as I physically could care less about it as I am not trying to impress them whatsoever but my nervousness was telling me I didn’t want them to judge me. After, the first 5 seconds I came out and they gave their compliments lol I was fine. Just the anticipation. I do it for the girls and the gays. Then I was strutting my stuff on the strip and at a casino for a bit. We stopped by Walgreens and I picked up a bottle of grey goose and we all choked it down outside with a chaser of Redbull. Disgusting but it had to be done as I wanted to party especially for the wedding and Caleb’s last night. Since it was a Tuesday, not many clubs were open so we had some difficulty finding something that we would actually enjoy. We ended up going to Fremont street to thesis alternative club which was not the vibe whatsoever. It was a goth vibe so we bolted. The other option apparently said it wasn’t open on Tuesdays but online it said it did so we got mixed reviews. We tried it and it was unfortunately closed. So next we just walked around before someone had to make a decision aka me and I picked lucky day and boy was it fun. Immediately when we pulled up I heard the music and I knew it was perfect. It was a small bar and had a small dance floor but that’s all I needed. Immediately, Ben pulled out every dance move and took over. He was getting every guy and girl dabbing him up like they were surprised a white guy could dance lol. He was cracking me up and everyone else as well. It was great dancing. Leonie’s dad all bought us drinks and we danced the night h away. I was dancing with everyone. One guy we met and we did a lil samba together which was fun. I ended up telling him we were pct hikers and he thought that was so cool. It was the perfect lil bar and everyone had fun which was the most important thing. Around 1:00, I think? We headed out and got White Castle. Absolutely disgusting. Easily one of the worst meals I’ve had on trail and I wasn’t even on trail. It took so long for the most pathetic sliders that made my tummy hurt. Everyone was feeling ill after it. We got in a Lyft back and immediately went to bed and I am proud to announce that the guys honored the bed rule so we was pitch black and comfy.

I forgot to mention how overstimulating Vegas is omg. Walked into Cesaers palace feeling great and then saw how many people and how many things were going on and immediately became mute. Horrible horrible place.
