Wedding Party

Hello everyone. We are super excited to share our special day with all of our favorite people. Invitations will be going out in a few months. Just a few details we would like to share with everyone while waiting for that to happen. -Please do not invite anyone who is not listed on your invitation without approval from us. While we love all of our family, there are just too many people to include everyone. The venue is charging us based on a certain head count, so we do not want any surprises on our wedding day. -Only the children of our immediate family are included on our invitations for the same reason stated above.  -If you are a part of our immediate family and intend to bring your children, please be aware that the venue is a waterfront property. The wedding ceremony and reception will both be held on the back grounds. There are no fences along Bayou Teche. Everyone will be responsible for watching their own children.

If you are close to us, then you know we march to the beat of our own drum. We are a little bit loud, a little bit crazy, and there is a whole lot of love between us. We do not hide that or tone that down for anyone. We are who we are. With that in mind, our wedding is not going to be a black-tie formal event. This is an epic celebration of our love...Cajun style. Our reception is a party. There will be music. There will be dancing. There will be drinking, With that comes lots of mischief, lots of laughs, and I am sure a few curse words that fly out during the evening. If this is not the kind of environment you feel comfortable in, then please politely decline our invitation. We will not love anyone less because they have different personalities, morals, or values than us. Dinner will be a buffet dinner prepared by us and all of our favorite people. There will also be a dessert bar filled with all sorts of delicious treats. We will have alcohol but no formal bar. Just two pirogues, one with alcohol for the adults and one with sodas, juices, and water. It will be self -serve for all. If your children have been invited and they are under the legal drinking age, it is your responsibility to ensure they do not grab alcoholic beverages! We are required by the venue to have a police officer on property for the duration of the wedding ceremony and reception.

If anyone has any questions about details for our wedding you can either comment here or text/call me.
