REAL WEDDING:: DAWN + MICHAEL (Under the Candlelight)

She was bartending her way through nursing school at Finn McCool’s Irish Pub. He was a pub regular and close friend to the owners, Stephen and Pauline Patterson. When Michael and Dawn were set up on a date by Pauline, a wick of love was ignited.

After graduating from nursing school, Michael swept Dawn away on a celebratory weekend trip to Annadelle’s Plantation in Covington. By the end of the weekend, Dawn and Michael were engaged.

Choosing a location that is quintessentially New Orleans, the couple tied the knot in the Thoth Market Street Den.

“The Thoth Market Street Den seemed like the perfect venue,” Dawn said. “Michael’s dad is an officer in Thoth and Michael has been riding in Thoth for the past 15 years. Michael was even a page as a child.”

Married by the same friend that set up their fateful first date, Michael and Dawn said “I do” surrounded by friends, family and the romantic glow of candlelight.
