Let the Good Times Roll: A New Orleans Wedding

Lidia’s engaging exploration of wedding traditions includes a visit to New Orleans, where Liz and Ray are making the final preparations for a wedding that will showcase their love for The Big Easy. That means a wedding featuring Mardi Gras Indians dancing to the beat while bedecked in brightly colored feathers, and traditional New Orleans fare such as jambalaya, crawfish and pralines.

"I grew up in New Orleans all my life, so it’s a part of me, it’s in my in my blood," Liz says. "The food, the music, the Mardi Gras Indians – I think they really put a stamp on the wedding that this is New Orleans."

Ray agrees. "I think this wedding is just going to sum up New Orleans in a few hours."
