Our Love Story

Our Story: His Timing

They say first impressions are everything, but for Del and Angéle, the start was less than ideal. When a mutual friend intentionally set them up, neither heard wedding bells. Del walked away convinced Angéle was a bit too “bougie” while Angéle was certain Del was far too rigid to be fun. In short: it was a swing and a miss.

About a year later, God provided another “window of opportunity,” and they were wise enough to finally open it. Their second “first date” was a total shift in perspective. They discovered those initial judgments were actually misread strengths: Angéle didn’t just appreciate “fine things,” she had a refined eye for beauty and quality; Del wasn’t rigid, he was simply a man of intense focus and ambition.

As they talked, they found a string of commonalities that felt less like luck and more like a decades-long pursuit by fate. Looking back, it is clear they needed that year apart to grow into the individuals they are today. They did the “work” separately so that when they finally came together, they were perfectly aligned with His will.

Though both spent years being fiercely independent, they realized their lives were infinitely richer when woven together. Their journey has been slow, steady, and intentional—a testament that love is the patient, kind, and enduring foundation described in 1 Corinthians 13:4.

They can’t wait to start this next chapter of their beautiful, slightly delayed, but perfectly timed story with all of you.

Q&A

By what date should we reply?

Please submit your response by November 1. We kindly ask that you only RSVP for the guests specifically named on your invitation.

What are the parking and transportation arrangements?

For a seamless experience, we highly recommend utilizing a private car or ride-sharing service. Should you choose to drive, complimentary parking is conveniently located along Lelong Drive or adjacent to the Besthoff Sculpture Garden. Note that Christmas in the Oaks is taking place in City Park so parking may be limited.

May we take photographs during the wedding?

We invite you to be fully present with us and kindly request an unplugged ceremony, free of phones and cameras. We warmly welcome you to capture and share your favorite moments with us during the reception.

Are children welcome to attend?

While we adore your little ones, our wedding will be an adults-only celebration, with the exception of immediate family. We hope this advance notice allows you to celebrate and enjoy an elegant evening out with us.

What is the dress code?

We request the pleasure of your company in Black Tie. We kindly ask that gentlemen wear black suits or tuxedos with white shirts and ladies wear all black dresses/pant suits. Cocktail hour will be held outside on the museum's Front Portico. December evenings in New Orleans can be cool, so we suggest bringing a wrap. The reception will follow indoors in the Great Hall.

The Second Line Send -Off

As the evening comes to a close, the celebration ends the way only New Orleans can: with a second line. Beginning in the Great Hall, we’ll lead the way, followed by the Kinfolk Brass Band and the Zulu Tramps of the Zulu Social Aid & Pleasure Club, before the procession moves outdoors. Follow us out, handkerchiefs waving, for one last celebration before the night ends. Handkerchiefs will be provided and are yours to keep. Please have your wraps and belongings with you when the second line begins, as we will not return to the Great Hall. The second line kicks off at 11:30 p.m. You don’t want to miss it!
