LAS VEGAS -- Dirk Nowitzki's favorite memories of this All-Star weekend won't be his first starting gig or his attempt to defend his 3-point title. It also won't be one of those VIP-only parties.
It'll be a wedding.
No, not his. In the city that's seen its share of spontaneous unions, Nowitzki's older sister Silke married her longtime fiancé Roland Mayer on Friday night.
The couple decided to tie the knot just a couple of weeks ago and figured Las Vegas would be the place to do it. The intimate ceremony took place at one of those classic small chapels with a few friends and family members in attendance, including dad Joerg.
Dirk played the role of best man, wearing a gray suit with a pink shirt and tie.
"I was looking phenomenal," he quipped.
The wedding party received a taste of home with the reception at German restaurant Hofbräuhaus Las Vegas. Though the wedding had all the trappings of Vegas, it wasn't presided over by an Elvis impersonator.
"We did have a real priest," Nowitzki said.
