Mardi Gras Wedding

March 3, 1992, Downtown Los Angeles

In 1992 Fat Tuesday fell on March 3rd. That's the day that Larry and I were married. We celebrate our anniversary twice every year, on Mardi Gras and on March 3rd.

Wedding Reception, August 1992, Mid-City Los Angeles

Larry and I met in New Orleans in 1990 during Jazz Fest. We continued our obsession with the music, food and style of New Orleans into our courtship and married life. That's why we decided to get married on Mardi Gras in 1992. It was a simple ceremony at the courthouse, downtown Los Angeles. A few months later we hosted a grand backyard wedding reception with the Zydeco Party Band performing and a delicious buffet of New Orleans-style food for all our friends and family. We've been celebrating ever since.
