2012 started out with a something I have never experienced, a surprise wedding. Karen Bendall and Perry Eastman invited their family and friends to an engagement party at Arnaud’s Restaurant in the French Quarter of New Orleans. After stepping out for a moment Karen returned in her wedding dress and the ceremony began. ELS kept the party moving well past midnight.
