One evening while enjoying a relaxing evening in my hotel room after a long day exploring the wonders of New Orleans I heard a ruckus outside my window. Peoples voices shouting in a joyous chorus. Then a rhythmic thud,boom, thud began among the joyous cries, I could feel the vibrations through the windows and walls. Hurriedly my roommates and I ran to the window to find out what was causing this explosion of noise. To our great surprise there was a parade outside our window. I wonderful brass band was leading the way, following behind them in perfect sequence with the beat of the music was a woman dressed all in white, a silk ballgown that was laying gently off her shoulders, in her hand was a delicate umbrella that matched her dress. Next to this glittering woman in white was her gallant prince, dressed in a suit befitting royalty. To compliment her white umbrella he hand in his hand a black on to match his suit. Behind this happy couple was an entire parade of people hollering and jumping to the beat of the band. In their hands they had what appeared to be table napkins, they held them high in the air like flags of victory. For a minute we just stared in wonder at the site before our eyes, then it donned on all of us, we were seeing a New Orleans wedding.
It was a beautiful site to behold, a couple so in love that their passion was overflowing into the streets and buildings around them. What a beautiful idea to not only share your commitment with your friends and family but with the whole city around you. I think everyone should at least see a New Orleans wedding at some point in their lives.
