Our Story

how we got here

Ellie and Jean Paul celebrating their engagement
she said yes

[Placeholder — replace with your story.] Ellie and Jean Paul first met under the live oaks of South Louisiana, where good food, good music, and even better company have a way of bringing people together.

What began as a chance meeting grew into years of adventures — from quiet evenings on the bayou to weekends in New Orleans — and on one unforgettable day, Jean Paul asked, and Ellie said yes.

Now they're heading back to where it all feels most like home: a November celebration beneath the Spanish moss at Albania Mansion, surrounded by the people they love most. We can't wait to celebrate with you.
