They had reservations for a romantic date at the restaurant Congress, and after the meal, Justin arranged for their closest friends and family to be  waiting for them to return home to congratulate them.  Emily and Justin both share a love for food so they incorporated delicious bites into their wedding by serving oysters, beignets, and cajun appetizers. They also incorporated some famous traditions such as the Second Line Dance for their exit as a nod to Emily’s New Orleans home.
