Andra & Ramiro’s friends Catherine & Calvin were married at this same spot a year ago, probably my most unique wedding of that year. And Andra & Ramiro’s wedding was certainly the most unique of this year! The ceremony was held in Audubon Park at the Tree of Life, a huge oak that was planted over 200 years ago for the wedding of New Orleans Mayor Jean Etienne de Bore.
Being Halloween night, the bridal party and all of the guests were dressed in costumes, many of them quite elaborate! And if that weren’t enough, the couple’s beloved dogs, who also participated in the wedding, had their own costumes as well. Their friends, Seán and Gwen of Seán Johnson and the Wild Lotus Band, performed some wonderful kirtan music during sunset ceremony.
Then, the Panorama Jazz Band let a second line through the park to the reception at the Audubon Park Golf Clubhouse, and then played during the reception as well. Every member of this band was amazingly talented… they were so tight, it sounded like they had been playing together forever!
