After a few hours of visiting & devouring my share of goodies, it was on to the next adventure: the outdoor wedding of Cary Koch & Tyler Gordy in St. Francisville. The ceremony took place at the beautiful home of the bride's parents & was certainly a nature-filled experience. I've never been to a wedding where I was greeted at the entrance with a bottle of bug spray....until yesterday. The bride & groom created an 'interactive walkway' of portraits & antiques through the woods leading to the ceremony site.
The sweet, intimate ceremony was followed by a rockin' reception at the house & was complete with a buffet of bacon-wrapped fried oysters, fried gator, & duck strips. I was concerned that a food coma was inevitable, but the band quickly got us grooving. It was a magical evening for all in attendance. I just can't get enough of the country....
Again, God was certainly smiling on us in south Louisiana with such picturesque weather for the weekend. I predict mad heat by mid-May, so I plan to soak up as much outdoor play time as I can stand until then. As most of you know, festival season is in full swing here. French Quarter Festivial (FQF) was held over the weekend, & I was lucky enough to take in Rebirth Brass Band, as well as Amanda Shaw & the Cute Guys on Thursday evening. FQF is my favorite, & I'm glad I had the chance to get some jive time in on its opening day. Send me your pictures from FQF or the Ponchatoula Strawberry Festival or whatever outdoor activity you participated in. What is your favorite festival? I leave you with a clip of Rebirth doing what they do best. Have a beautiful & blessed week, my friends.
