You might notice that Delaney is not captured in any pictures. That is because we left her in SC. It was a hard choice---but we thought it might be difficult bringing a 1 year old to a scheduled wedding weekend in New Orleans. We missed her very much, but looking back on the weekend, it was good we didn't bring her. We had a wonderful time and Delaney was very well taken care of by Debbie, Nana, Kathleen, Chris, and the girls. Thank you all!!! It takes an army doesn't it???
When we arrived we went immediately to the Acme Oyster House and stuffed our faces with raw oysters and etouffee and crawfish puppies. It was delicious!! Not sure what mom is doing here..oh yeah...the horseradish was spicy.
New Orleans was having Police Appreciation Day over the weekend. We chose not to celebrate that.
We met up with Jordan and Sarah and some of their friends at Pat O'Brians for a beverage. I didn't get their signature drink, The Hurricane, because it was only 1:00 and I needed to be upright for the rehearsal dinner that evening.
Jordan's good friend John and his girlfriend Lisa.

Randy found this punching game inside a bar on Bourbon Street. Isn't he macho?
The rehearsal dinner was at the Crescent City Brewhouse. Jordan started off the toasts with a welcome and thank you.

Hee hee. This place is called the "Spicy Dark Boutique". Couldn't miss a photo op with mom and that one.
Beautiful day downtown on the water.

Chatting it up with someone who will listen to me.
We met up with mom and Nutty's cousin Neil and Debbie's daughter (get that?) Melanie who just started at Tulane this year. She brought her friend and we enjoyed drinks and catching up at this cool outside cafe.
Mom decided our waiter was her new fiance. They had really big glasses of wine....
Randy stuffs his face with a muffaletta.
Nutty stuffs her face with soft-shelled crab while Randy inspects his glass.
The availability of alcoholic beverages on every corner in New Orleans causes you to pose underneath flower pictures, thinking you look sweet and blissful.
THE WEDDING!!! The ceremony was in a courtyard behind the restaurant Broussard. Sarah's dress was absolutely beautiful.
The officiant was very good and got tearful when speaking of the strength and love that comes from New Orleans after the storm.
John did a reading from Dr. Suess' "Oh the Places You Will Go". It was just perfect.
The reception was at a fabulous restaurant called Muriels. The food was amazing and there was little men walking around with fancy little treats on trays. The weather was beautiful and there was a great balcony outside where we could sit and look out at Jackson Square. Jordan and Sarah did their first dance. 
Mom and Randy had a little dance together.
Jordan and Sarah had a beautiful cake and they were quite tame with it.
