Raiders’ Darren Waller And Aces’ Kelsey Plum Tie The Knot

It's a love story straight out of Sports Illustrated. Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller and Las Vegas Aces guard Kelsey Plum said "I Do" at a ceremony on Saturday.

Kelsey looked absolutely stunning in her gown, Darren beyond handsome in his black slacks, white coat and sockless shoe game. They look absolutely swept away by the moment!

Turns out the pair have been dating since last year... which technically makes them an at-work romance. Both the Las Vegas Raiders and Las Vegas Aces are both owned by Mark Davis.

Things have been coming up "Aces" for Kelsey Plum, who had an incredible season with the Las Vegas' WNBA franchise, bringing the valley our first professional title. Not to mention being named the 2022 WNBA All Star MVP. While the Raiders didn't have the ending they were hoping for, Waller has had an incredible storybook career. He was on the Baltimore Ravens practice squad when he was given a shot by the Raiders, and he ran with it.

The cutest thing about this couple? They registered on TheKnot.com like the rest of us. See, celebrities are normal people too!

Here's an awkward twist though - Darren Waller wasn't the only Raider getting married on Saturday. Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby also got married to his longtime girlfriend on Saturday. Which wedding did teammates go to? Where did Mark Davis end up? Or is it the perfect excuse to miss both? Only time will tell.

So, Las Vegas, it is time to bow to our royal sports couple. Harry and Meghan, step aside. Until you can run for nearly 1,200 yards or take home a title, you are mere peasants. Gaze at your MVP (most valuable pair).

You'll never forget your first.

The Las Vegas Aces won game 4 in the WNBA Finals on Sunday night in Connecticut, taking with them the WNBA Championship and Las Vegas' very first major league sports title. With the honor, comes the party! A short parade followed by a massive party in front of the Bellagio fountains.

Fans were rushing from (or playing hooky from) work to make it in time for the event, flocking to the area mostly from the Caesars Palace parking lot. In front of Caesars, a staging area for the parade with Raiderettes, classic cars, members of the Boys & Girls Club and Broadway In The Hood gearing up to take the route. Then, a horn was blasting out of nowhere. Travelling north on Las Vegas Boulevard, a chartered bus with the Las Vegas Aces was barreling down the street! The parade was coming soon!

Aces staff went up and down the parade route handing out signs, pom-poms, rally towels and more.

At 5:30 sharp, the parade began. Down the street came community members holding "CHAMPS" in balloon lettering. Motorcycle cops and the Nevada State Police's "Aces" cruisers, local community organizations and more.

Then, the "Big Bus" double-decker buses rolled through. A'ja Wilson, like Rose in Titanic planted at the front of the first bus with the WNBA Championship in her hand and a grin you couldn't wipe off if you tried. Aces owner Mark Davis standing close by, almost undetectable wearing a hat. Finals MVP Chelsea Gray holding her MVP trophy precariously off the side of the bus.

They headed towards the stage in front of the Bellagio with thousands in attendance awaiting them. So many that they actually closed the other side of Las Vegas Boulevard - something officials weren't expecting to do.

The famed Las Vegas Strip, playground to tourists from around the world, was for one rare moment taken over by locals. Local organizations, local fans, our local team. It was a special day! Congrats Aces! Here's to next year!

That's the end of another week on Aimee+Shawn and man are our... legs... tired.

On Monday, Shawn, 102.7 VGS afternoon host Sammi and several other members of the Beasley Media Group family laced up their shoes and headed to The STRAT. The group went up 1,455 steps to go from the bottom to the top of the famed Las Vegas landmark for Scale The STRAT benefitting the American Lung Association. Shawn did finish but it turns out he was one of the slowest times of the day. 602nd out of 622 competitors. Yikes.

The showing for Shawn was so bad, he finally broke. With Aimee on her keto kick, and Sammi planning to get fit and try out to be a Raiderette, Shawn (who was the one person on the staff that really needs to get healthier) decided to get on board.

Aimee couldn't make the event (but she climbed every step last week). Instead she went out to Mesquite for her son's football tournament. That tournament turned out to be a big, dramatic disaster that had fists flying, parking lots inescapable, and more insanity.

Meanwhile, Aimee's friend is going to inherit some property... but that friend's wife is already calling dibs, and that friend's parents aren't quite dead yet. Awkward.

The show also took on the biggest issue going on behind the scenes at 102.7 VGS... reply all emailers. The ones that find it necessary to send "Thanks!" to 112 fellow employees.

Finally, in a heartwarming moment, Aimee+Shawn read a book to all the schools at once for Nevada Reading Week.

The show returns Monday with a concert ticket double down all week! Two times during each show, listen and win tickets to not only Gorillaz at Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood... but also Red Hot Chili Peppers at Allegiant Stadium! See you Monday!

He came, he saw, he barely finished. Shawn tackled Scale The STRAT benefitting the American Lung Association and while he did make 1,455 steps... his finishing time didn't set any records. Even close.

Shawn got a chance to see Cocaine Bear and he absolutely loved it. The movie was "based on a true story" but it turns out... it was barely based on a true story. Is there another barely based on a true story story that has yet to be told?

Fighting over parking spots. Fighting on the field. It was a mess over the weekend in Mesquite, and it led to Aimee and her fam going home early.

Shawn was pulling out of the station and a guy pulled next to him in a panic... needing gas money... motioning towards his gold ring... and he knew it was a scam.

AT&T Sportsnet is shutting down soon, but Shawn hasn't been able to legally watch the network in a while. The two talk about the things we've done to watch what we want to watch...without paying.

It was a sweet moment with Shawn's son sitting on his lap... then... in an instant... he exploded. Vomited everywhere. Aimee asked who cleaned because whenever someone ralphs in her house, she's on cleaning duty.

It was a dark and frightful night the one day that Shawn was in overnight camp. He recounts the horrifying twilight he spent at a summer camp that led to counselors getting fired and his back itching a lot.

Four months. That's how long Shawn had items up on Facebook Marketplace without a taker. He finally snapped over the weekend and sold his stuff at 10 cents on the dollar.

Aimee's friend is getting an inheritance. Aimee's friend's wife is already calling that inheritance "theirs". Only one problem... Aimee's friends parents are still alive.

Shawn's embarrassing showing at Scale The STRAT finally made him snap. He's on a mission to get healthier...

It's been snowing in the area... like, a lot! Aimee's hubby has no problem making their son walk to school in it...

There is a scourge that has taken over the 102.7 VGS inboxes... unnecessary reply all emails.

After reading to some classes for Nevada Reading Week, Aimee realized quickly that kids today are way sharper and funnier than we were.

Speaking of Nevada Reading Week, while both Aimee and Shawn are speaking to kids this week, they decided to read a book to the entire city at once... and it's a classic.

Think about it... there are parts of the house you just never get to. The cabinets over the fridge? WHO USES THOSE?!

Shawn recounts the one teacher in high school that never seemed to give him a fair shake. Aimee had a teacher like that too. Turns out... we all have.
