I Went to The Wrong Wedding Reception in New Orleans Saturday Night.....

Even for me, crashing a wedding was a first. But that's what happened I went to the wrong wedding reception in NOLA Saturday night. 

For some reason, I thought it was at the Metairie Country Club where I took Hank & his boys to lunch & golf a couple of months ago. Well it turned out I was wrong.

I pulled up to Metairie Country Club at about 6:30pm Saturday night innocently enough. I walked in and asked someone where the wedding reception was. I was pointed to a side room where good music was playing.

I walked into the room in my suit and grabbed some prime rib & a club soda. While I did not immediately recognize anyone, this did not set off alarm bells as I only was going to know 4 people at my friend's reception.

After about 15 minutes I did not see my buddy the groom or his bride. As I walked outside the room, I looked at the guest book to sign it. And then I saw the words Congrats Karen & Joel!

Right then I finally realized I was at the wrong place. I looked online at the wedding invitation and saw it was at New Orleans Country Club (only 5 min way). So I hopped into an Uber and headed there.

I am glad I made my buddy's reception because it was a freaking throw down! Crawfish etoufee, crab cakes, oysters, prime rib and a world class band! The dance floor was raging til 11pm and I had a blast. Congrats to my childhood friend and huge Stoolie Gunner!

Next time I am going to check the wedding invitation more closely......
