Rachel & John – St. Phillip Neri Church, Champagne Palace, Metairie – 11/9/07

Michael Caswell — Sat, 10 Nov 2007 17:01:00 +0000

This delightful couple exchanged vows at St. Phillip Neri church in Metairie, followed by a reception at the beautiful Champagne Palace in Elmwood. John is a volunteer fireman/medic, and were taken to the reception in a fire engine, certainly the most unique “limo” I’ve ever seen! At Champagne Palace, as we were doing the formal group shots out in the garden area, Rachel whispered to me, “I want to get in the fountain after we’re done with these shots.”

“IN the fountain?” I replied.

“Yes, in the fountain. But do you think they’ll let me?”

“Hmmmm… well, sometimes it’s easier to ask for forgiveness than permission,” I replied with a somewhat mischievous grin.

Sure enough, a little while later, after distracting her bridal attendant with a drink request, John lifted Rachel up and placed her in the fountain. She held her dress up to keep it from getting too wet, and splashed around a bit. The bridal attendant was a little surprised, but took it in stride.

After the ceremony at St. Phillip Neri in Metairie, we headed to the Masion Dupuy in the French Quarter for the reception. The Distractions entertained, doing an outstanding job as usual. At the end of the night, the couple was given a wonderful sparkler send-off.
