This past weekend the lady and I hopped on a plane and headed to the Big Easy for a wedding on the roof of the JAX Brewery in the French Quarters. The wedding was full of New Orleans traditions from cake pulls and classic Nola cuisine to one of the better wedding traditions I've been a part of: The Second Line.

In short, its your groups personal celebratory parade around the streets of New Orleans complete with a police escort and a marching jazz band. I took a couple of (grainy) videos of the experience to share with all of you.

I've had the opportunity to be a part of several weddings in my time but nothing was quite like this. It was hands down the coolest wedding experience I've had to date and I highly recommend accepting the next New Orleans wedding invitation that crosses your table if the Second Line is a part of the ceremony, it's well worth the time!

Have you ever experienced Second Linin'? If not, what other unique or crazy wedding stories do you have for us?
