Our Wedding

It was picture day for Southeastern Football. The team stacked the bleachers for a team photo while the track team used the field for a workout. That’s when Justin first laid eyes on Addison. “See her in the maroon shirt?” he pointed. “I shall have her.” A few weeks later, the two ran into each other outside of the cafeteria. There Justin told Addison that he had been looking for her, and even after whiffing on giving any valid reason as to why, they exchanged contacts. A few weeks later, he convinced her that spending time together would be mutually beneficial. He helped her with Spanish homework. She cracked his riddles. After that, interest was officially piqued.Unfortunately, Justin’s time in Louisiana was cut short. Upon learning the news of his imminent departure, Addison decided to make her first escape attempt. A notion Justin quickly dismissed. Not long after, she was visiting California, the first of many trips the two took together. The stars weren’t perfectly aligned however, as distance and ambition did their best to separate the two. Addison had three years left as a student athlete at SLU and then would start her career in sports sponsorships. Justin galivanted around the world with stints in Paris (France), Charleston (IL), and Clarksville (TN), but they managed to find each other at each stop. Then Covid happened. Justin had just moved to Cheney (WA), where he recruited Addison to quarantine with him.Not long after, serious plans were in the works. Addison was working at LSU when Justin was hired at Florida, so after years of surviving on facetime calls and weekend rendezvous, they decided it was finally time to live in the same state. They moved to Florida, Justin taking a job at UF and Addison at UCF. The 10-year courtship has several highlights: cross-country road trips, climbing Mt. Wilson, a summer in Europe, historic sporting events, Mardi Gras balls, welcoming their nephews and niece, adventures with Iris and Geoffrey, and meeting amazing people along the way. The two have grown from independent college kids to inseparable partners building a bright future. Addison kicked her picky eating habits and Justin plans more than 3 hours in advance. They continue to grow together and challenge each other.&nbsp;

Hammond Downtown Development District

Cate Street is also downtown, but we just HAVE to call out our fav restaurant of all time. We know that is a bold statement. We make it anyway. Here is our GO-TO order:- crawfish dip appetizer- Coco Loco Roll- Cate Street Roll- Fresh Market Roll- Cheese Cake dessert If we find out you visit and DON'T make the above order, we will take it as a personal offense.

Cate Street Seafood Station

We've actually never been here... but we know people like to tour these types of things. The Jucifer is the most popular and they even have a "Lion-Up" can that supports the University. Fun!

Gnarly Barley Brewing

Owned and operated by the most stereotypical version of Louisianans, The Kliebert family farms gators/turtles. They not only host tours, but also double as a two-way petting zoo! If you ever wanted to hold a gator, here is your chance!

Kliebert & Son’s Gator Tours

Saturday from 8AM - 12PM in Downtown Hammond for the best local groceries &amp; goods. Grab some coffee at a nearby cafe then peruse the market! Look for the booth selling boudin and brisket eggrolls- SO good!

Farmer's Market

Explore the bayou! Be one with nature. Maybe see some gators. Ask for our friend and amazing tour guide, Julie!
