Wedding wknd continued… Meg’s wedding day (10.27.12)

Aside from the temperature dropping about 30 degrees from Friday to Saturday, Meg and Jason’s wedding day was beautiful and perfect! We spent the afternoon with Meg at a family friend’s house while she had her makeup done and got photographed in her wedding dress. It’s always sort of magical to see a bride in her wedding dress for the first time, and this was no exception. I think most of us are more used to seeing Meggy in a t-shirt and Christmas light boxers than all dolled up, but I had no doubt she would look absolutely stunning, and she did! (And Jason looked quite dapper in hix tux and bow tie, too!)

One of my favorite things about New Orleans is the beautiful homes and giant tree-lined streets (the house where Meg got ready was on this street).

Cake pulls! This is a tradition I’ve only seen in New Orleans. We all pulled a ribbon sticking out of the cake and received a charm with a special meaning. Mine was a crescent moon…. it meant something about luck and possibility, I think. Should have gone to play the lottery that night!

Mr. and Mrs. LaBumbard!!
