Here we are, Melanie and Kevin and party, walking down six blocks to the wedding reception in the French Quarters. It is amazing the crowds and their reaction to see the newly weds and friends marching down the streets of New Orlean's French Quarter with a police escort to clear the streets.
Second line (parades)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Second line is a tradition in
brass band parades in
New Orleans, Louisiana.
The "main line" or "first line" is the main section of the parade, or
the members of the actual club with the parading permit as well as the
brass band.
Those who follow the band just to enjoy the music are called
the "second line." The second line's style of
traditional dance,
in which participants walk and sometimes twirl a parasol or
handkerchief in the air, is called "second lining." It has been called
"the quintessential New Orleans art form – a
jazz funeral without a body."

Hope you enjoyed the Second Line parade of newly weds. Love, Peggy and Jimmy
