The next I thing I knew we were in a serious relationship talking about marriage! Little did I know the engagment was coming sooner than I thought with a huge surprise planned. The proposal was infront of our entire families! It was so much with everyone there celebrating the engagment. Now, we have a set date and we are in the beginning stages of planning our New Orleans Wedding!

Marquis - Vanlandingham
Tyson and I had been friends for a few years. But, he waited until the weekend I was moving unexpectedly to Atlanta for a new job to tell me he was in love with me! Literally, he had had WAY too much to drink on Bourbon Street and confessed his feelings.
All I remember thinking was, REALLY?! You couldn't of told me this a little sooner?
After getting through the opening of the two new restaurants in Atlanta and flying back and forth every other week, Tyson popped the question in Jackson Square!
Two months later I moved back to New Orleans to be with Tyson full-time!
The wedding is January 22, 2011 in the Dominican Republic. The theme is New Orleans at the beach.
Now, that is the short version- I can promise you that there were a lot more frequent flyer miles to our amazing LOVE story!

After dating for almost five years, including a long distance stint while the bride attended graduate school in Texas, Bart asked Jolie to spend the rest of his life with her. Without a second thought, both knew they would be married in NOLA. Bart's family has an apartment building in the Quarter, and the couple spends at least one weekend a month in one of the most captivating cities in the world. The next easiest decision was timing, and Jazz Fest, which is attended by Jolie's Family every year seemed the most fitting time to share with all their friends and family! So the planning has begun and the bride and groom are enjoying every minute of it! They will be married in St. Louis Cathedral by their very close family friend, Father John Brocato. They look forward to sharing a festive time with all taking part in this joyous occasion!
