We have some many things to potentially worry about here in Louisiana. The oil continues its path unabated and hurricane season will soon arrive. Still -in an act of optimism as predictable as the seasons, Sully Mansion hosted its first wedding this last weekend. Our bride and groom was a lovely young couple, both artists who were drawn to the beauty and graciousness of the inn and its grounds. It made for a lovely setting for ninety guests. They took their vows on our front steps witnessed by friends and family from across the country. We had lanterns strung across the hundred year old oak tree in our front yard and twinkle lights across the side fence transforming the garden into a wonderland. Of course, it being New Orleans, there were delicious things to eat and drink including gumbo and a specially made run punch for the guests. The evening ended with a brass band and much laughter. Our neighbors told us the next day they loved the band and were dancing on their porches while the wedding guests danced the night away on the porch and on that magical night, the world was full of promise and hope.
