    My husband proposed to me in Wickenburg, AZ in 2014 on our way to Vegas. We got married in Vegas just hours later. Love him more every day. Wickenburg will always hold a special place in my heart.

    we loved stopping over here a few years back, we came across it when travelling from Vegas to California and ended up booking a room and visiting it the next morning. it has that great American Western vibe! It was extremely hot like nowhere we ever experienced before so ended up visiting real early in morning:) Great ice Cream parlour too. Good luck with the flooding guys, best wishes.

    I used to go to the Hassyampa Elementary School. My brothers went to the high school that was next to the Del Webb Center of Performing Arts. I personally loved the town.

    I lived there in the late 70s and early 80s when I was a kid, the town was really small then, there was not much to do if you where young, it didn't even have a movie theater, but to look at it now it is hardly recognizable, I would never live there again, it has become very expensive for housing or property, I live now in TN, much more affordable, and everyone I grew up with there has since moved away, I still have a brother in Phoenix though, but I have not been to Wickenburg 12 years, and I don't plan on going any time soon, besides everyone that I grew up there with has moved, or died, and did I mention it is very hot there in the summer!!!

      Really, that was your take-away? This video was produced 8 years ago, so admittedly my editing has gotten better over time...I think. I have not seen this video in many years and just re-watched it. You are correct, at about 40 seconds or so there are too many shots/edits (for about 10-15 seconds), the cadence is all off. However, that's the only part of the video where I see the edits are too fast. Did you watch the entire thing? Cheers, Mike
