Louisiana Romance
Monday, 10 May 2010 05:29

Meredith + Ted's New Orleans wedding Saturday was one of the most romantic I've ever seen. Sure, these two are madly in love with each other. However, Ted sent Meredith a letter just before the ceremony that was a copy of the letter his great grandfather gave to Pearl - his wife to be - in Virginia in 1908. It was the last of a series of letters he wrote in courting her and the beginning of a series he would continue to write in expressing his love. Here's an excerpt: "The aim ... to gain the love and hand of the noblest woman on earth. The second series shall be to hold this love and confidence so gained and to make each hour happier for this grand personage who shall play the leading role in the drama of my life...
Pearl, I know it is one of the impossibilities of the world for me to fully express my love for you."

Here are a few pictures from Saturday including a few from our ever-popular Love Booth.

Meredith+Ted's Saturday wedding was a lovely affair with the ceremony at St. George's Episcopal and the reception at the Elm's Mansion in the Garden District. New Orleans weddings are all about the details and the ooooooo la la. The fabulous Valerie Gernhauser of getpolishedevents.biz is the planner and the incomparable Steve Simon at stevesimonphoto.com second shot for me. Here is a look at some details. Of course, more to follow.

As you can clearly see by a few of tonight's rehearsal dinner pics Meredith and Ted's New Orleans' wedding Saturday is not going to be any fun whatsoever. ;)
