Wow, who would have ever thought that this southern cajun girl would be a member of Weddingbee.com? Huge honor!

Guess I’ll start off by telling how Mr. Bird of Paradise and I met. It’s one of those corny, who-does-that-happen-to type stories.

We met at my friend’s, and his brother’s fall Louisiana wedding two years ago. Mr. Bird of Paradise was the best man and I was the Maid of Honor. The wedding couple, M & J, had been slyly trying to get us together, or as they put it, really thought we should meet. We formally first met the Thursday before their Saturday wedding, as the wedding party got acquainted at a local music festival. Oh, and I should mention that Mr. Bird of Paradise and I had on the same style and color shirt - button down and a deep cranberry color. Weird!

The next night was the rehearsal dinner where Mr. Bird of Paradise and I were set up to sit together. Following dinner, the wedding party all went out on the town. The next day was M & J’s beautiful wedding, followed by another night on the town. That night we really hit it off. We had breakfast after our night out and the two of us stayed up talking until 9 AM. With no sleep he left that day to drive back to Oklahoma.

After a few weeks, we began chatting fequently over the phone and eventully planned a New Years trip to Austin to meet up with the wedding couple, M & J. The day after Christmas, Mr. Bird of Paradise ended up driving down from Oklahoma and we drove over to Austin the following weekend. After our trip, Mr. Bird of Paradise never left Louisiana or my side. **cue sappy music**
