DESTINATION WEDDING:: Margaret + Richard (The City of Jazz)

Like an improvised riff or a playful note, the music to Margaret and Richard’s love resembles the music that runs deep though the streets of New Orleans.

Famed music critic, Robert Christgau said “that inventing meaning while letting loose is the essence and promise of jazz,” and maybe the same could be said about love when Margaret, a New Orleans native, met Richard in Melbourne, Australia through mutual friends when she moved to the ‘Land Down Under’ to start her career.

As they developed their melodious tune as their relationship grew, Margaret let loose a chord of joy when Richard proposed after a skydiving adventure in New Zealand.

“It was the perfect setting and so memorable,” Margaret said.

When it came time to tie the knot, there was no doubt that the pair had to be wed in Margaret’s hometown.

“We wanted everyone to experience and enjoy what Richard and I love about New Orleans – the food, jazz music and the charm of the quarter,” Margaret said.

Making the wedding day into a four-day festival filled with family and friends, jazz music and fantastic food, Margaret brought their song to a crescendo when she walked down the aisle to the Kinfolk jazz trio singing La Vie en Rose.

Despite all the chaos that occurred that weekend – flash flooding shutting down roads in Louisiana and Texas, St. Patrick’s Day Parades, Spring Fiesta, Buku Festival and a massive conference at the Hotel Monteleone they were staying at, Margaret and Richard had a wedding as classic as the music the city created.
