Growing up in New Orleans is full of memories of parks and places I played. City Park is big and a beautiful place. The WPA added bridges, walks, statues, fountains, and shelters there. The craftsmen who worked were all old world trained and it shows in their workmanship. This bridge and several smaller ones is made of stone. A rare commodity in my city. As a child we walked over  it, fished from it, took pictures on it, kissed on it and later got married on it. All part of the fabric of New Orleans. I do a lot of weddings in the park and this is one of the spots.

Funky Weddings: Bike Night Nuptials

  Many places have bike nights where motorcycle enthusiasts gather to talk, meet, and make friends. If you and your significant other plan to elope ask at bike night if you can show up one night with the preacher and do a marriage ceremony. It is easy. Get a license, permission from the establishment, notify the group and wedding officiant when and let it happen. No bike night near you ask at the local motorcycle sales place. Ride motor scooters? Try the  scooter club group or ask at the scooter sales business if you can get married on their sales floor. Great publicity for the sales place and a fun funky wedding.

Elope to New Orleans From Mississippi

 It is now easier to elope to Louisiana with a change in the law that allows couples to get a license and marry on the same day. Either a Justice of the Peace or a Minister who performs a wedding in New Orleans can waiver the 72 hour waiting period and perform a wedding as soon as the couple gets a license. Other couples can get a license in any other major city in Louisiana at a Clerk of Court. Cities near major Mississippi cities like Amite, La and Tallulah La that border near Jackson MS and Macomb MS have Clerks Offices.  You need a license and an appointment with the minister to get married. see this page to make an appointment with a wedding minister- http://www.figstreet.com/guesthouse/weddings.html
