I wrote about getting married on New Year's Eve in Las Vegas and it's hard to believe but it's been 10 years today! One of the bands John managed, "Common Sense" was the opening act for "Hootie and the Blowfish" New Years Eve 1996. So we got hitched at Graceland and John's daughter Ohara, his son Morgan, brother Paul and a few of my close friends came. It was a sweet little ceremony and then we went to the gig at the Hard Rock Hotel. Vegas on New Years is a circus! The opposite of our life in Topanga to be sure. But it was fun and memorable. We had our reception a few months later in Santa Monica, invited all our friends and family and John's brother Phil Hartman interviewed a lot of our guests on video with his famous comedic flair and it is a happy treasured time captured on tape.

Wow! Your husband looks like a real dog. I can dig it. Did Elvis let his hound dogs pee on Graceland? Bad Dog (deceased)

Congratulations!!!! Val!!!! Beautiful photo! I'm glad I didnt miss this one! Love your story on Celine! It amazes me when you talk about your experience as an artist but, especially when you share a little bit of the celebrities with it. Have a Happy New Year!!!!!
Valgal! I can't believe it's been 10 years for you & the dead dawg! Remember when you, me & Kathryn went to that bar & she kept spanking all the men? I think that was around the same time as your wedding... Anyway, wanted to thank you for the cool shirt & sweatshirt. I got to wear both of them at miraval (missed you btw!)
Happy new year & I hope '07 is the best year ever!
