The Wedding Happened!

I just got home on the last ferry of the day after the quick trip to New Orleans for Jonathan and Kahran’s wedding.  It was a great little trip and a wonderful wedding event.

They got married in a beautiful church in the Garden District.  I was going to perform the ceremony, but, after the stress of the Hurricane, my whole mind was running on exhaustion power, so, Kahran’s Uncle did the honors and did a much better job than I ever could have even thought of.  It was personable and funny and serious and impressive.  Everyone loved it.

It was a very happy day!

As soon as the ceremony was finished the entire party was led on a walking street parade by a brass band. We all walked behind the band from the church to the reception site.  The parade happened to fit into a little break in the thundershowers that had plagued the day.

On the parade route.

The reception site was a place called Eiffel, so named because the building itself was constructed out of materials removed from the Eiffel Tower during a major renovation to the observation and restaurant level.  The brass band stayed around and, after numerous roasts and speeches, played for the rest of the evening.

Kahran was beautiful and Jonathan was all shined up.  Jonathan’s son, Tommy, was precious.  All the relatives did themselves proud.  It was an event to remember and hold in all our hearts forever.
