This past weekend Trey and Marie invited Brad and I to New Orleans to experience Mardi Gras Richoux-style. The weather was a bit daunting on the drive down Saturday, but nothing was going to rain on our parade (because we had our rain boots on of course)! After an amazing dinner Saturday night at Coquette on Magazine, Sunday was filled with parade after parade. In high school there was always something special about Mardi Gras that Marie and I shared and it had been awhile since we'd been together on this, our second favorite day, of the year. The weekend ended with breakfast at Camellia Grill and we drove home talking about next year's plans.
Newman/Cameron Engagement | Saturday, Feb. 11, 2012
The weekend before I got the opportunity to watch one of my very best friends get engaged at a Mardi Gras ball in Mobile. What a special moment to witness and fortunately I was there, camera ready, even though I didn't realize what was happening until Nathan got down on one knee. On a sentimental note, it seems just like yesterday that Amanda and I pledged Dee Gee, gallivanting around Hattiesburg and making memories that would last a lifetime with "the circle," a nickname branded upon a group of us that roomed together during Spring Break 2011...
Back on track, I couldn't be happier for Amanda and Nathan. They seem perfect for each other, I look forward to all of the festivities the next several months bring and am honored that Brad and I were asked to be a part of their wedding day.
I think we're going to need to recreate this photo at the wedding.Here's to Nov. 17, 2012 and all the festivities in between!
