The Bride’s Ultimate Weakness: Café Du Monde! If there’s one thing the bride loves almost as much as getting married, it’s her absolute favorite dessert from The Original Café Du Monde! This legendary coffee shop is famous for two things: dark roasted Coffee and Chicory, and their iconic Beignets—warm, square, French-style doughnuts absolutely smothered in a snowy mountain of powdered sugar. Wash it down with a classic Café Au Lait (half coffee, half hot milk), an iced coffee, or delicious chocolate milk.
The Groom 's Ultimate Weakness: PJ's Coffee If you're looking for Daniel’s ultimate guilty pleasure, look no further than PJ’s! It is his absolute favorite coffee spot in Louisiana. His go-to order? A classic hot vanilla latte. If you need a caffeine fix while you're in town, grab a cup and toast to the groom!
A True Local Favorite: Peppers Pizza Hungry for a slice? Head over to Peppers Pizza in Thibodaux, our absolute favorite go-to spot! Peppers holds a very special place in our hearts for two very different reasons. For Ally, it’s all about her all-time favorite: the legendary Cheesy Bread. For Daniel, it’s a tribute to his college days, when a $3 slice at 2:00 AM was exactly what he needed most. Whether you’re stopping by for a full meal or a late-night snack, it’s a must-visit!
Where It All Began: Nicholls State University Nicholls State University holds a very special place in our hearts—it’s where our story started! We are both proud graduates; Daniel earned his Culinary degree here, and Ally received her degree in Psychology. The campus is a stunning mix of historic charm and modern architecture, featuring a beautiful courtyard right in the center of it all. If you have some free time this weekend, take a scenic drive or a quick walk around the grounds to see where we spent the early days of our relationship!
A Local Legend: Rouses If you really want the full Daniel and Ally experience, you have to stop by the Rouses on South Acadia. Why? Because rumor has it if you head over to the flower section, you might just catch a glimpse of the groom in his "glory days" of being a Nicholls cheerleader. If you snag a selfie with Daniel, send it to the Bride or Groom for a special surprise. Get those cameras ready!
