yes, my recount of our trip to louisiana for adam & sara's wedding is long overdue!
i apologize in advance because like an idiot, i forgot to bring along my camera! i will track down some photos and post some soon (hopefully).
we headed into new orleans first, on thursday (july 16). we toured the french quarter with the company of matt & katie helbig and tim bradley. tim was sporting some brand new khaki shorts! (long story, but tim ONLY wears khaki pants of some sort). anyway, later ben and i met up with uncle phil and aunt linda for some beers and then dinner. then we headed back to the french quarter for a debacherous evening on bourbon street. we ran into justa & scott and some others in town for the macdowell wedding as well. lots of booze and boobs later, i sober drove us back to my family's place.
the next day we headed to baton rouge for all of the wedding festivities. the rehearsal dinner was at a plantation home just outside the city. it was a lot of fun and the food was (of course) fantastic!! plus i just love the southern hospitality--could sara's family be any nicer?!
saturday was the big day and sara was gorgeous. the reception followed at a local restaurant complete with a live band--who did a great job i might add! my favorite part of the reception: a table with all things pink candies and the world's best cupcake. ever. seriously, it was awesome.
then the happy couple headed out and we did too--but to continue to go out of course. we hit up a local pub for some beers and then into downtown baton rouge where we stumbled upon a fabulous bar that had some great live zydeco music playing and there we danced the night away.
the next day we headed over to the gaudet home (straight from an anthropologie catalog--it was goreous, and yes, i wish it was my home...) for some post-wedding brunch. then off to new orleans to relax at the wilson pool before saying goodbye to louisiana and heading back to the reality of missouri.....
