In the vibrant heart of New Orleans, love was literally in the air this past Valentine’s Day as local couple Kevin Nguyen and Monica Resh celebrated their wedding in a most unexpected venue—yes, a pothole! This delightful affair took place within a heart-shaped pothole on Felicity Street, adding a splash of local flavor to their big day. It could only happen in a city known for its unique character and charm!
Kevin and Monica’s journey to this unique wedding began with a contest hosted by the Instagram page Look At This F%$#in’ Street, which attracted attention back in July. Imagine the surprise and thrill of realizing that they had won a wedding package featuring local vendors, simply by entering the contest! The couple’s approach to this unconventional win is best described as adventurous—like hitting the lottery of weddings!
With the win came the fun task of planning their wedding among numerous potholes in New Orleans. Luckily, local services stepped in to help with all their nuptial needs. Celebrated vendors such as Second Line Photography and Just Cake by Wendy were on board to make the celebration truly memorable. The couple also received an exciting offer from Andre Bohren at Piano On a Truck, while Shannon Mitch of Blooms Botanica collaborated closely with Monica to design the perfect aesthetic for their celebration.
In an effort to share their whimsical nuptials, the couple invited the Instagram page’s 130,000 followers to join them, resulting in a lively gathering of family and friends. Traffic cones cleverly guided Kevin and his parents from Felicity Church to the wedding site—an unforgettable sight! While the groom suited up, the beautiful bride stole the show in a classic gown accented with caution tape, proving that despite their chosen setting, elegance can still shine through.
The officiant humorously took the audience on a quirky journey right from the start, making light of the “groundbreaking” ceremony on “hole-y” ground. Amidst laughter and joy, Kevin’s vows radiated pride and love for his partner, leaving Monica moved to tears. The lovebirds exchanged rings and concluded the ceremony with a heartfelt pronouncement as “partners in life,” reminding everyone that relationships, much like the roads of New Orleans, require care and commitment.
Kevin and Monica’s love story began in 2019 while Kevin was busy studying pharmacy in Chicago. Just one month after they started dating, Monica moved to New Orleans for work, leading to a long-distance relationship that lasted over three years. Eventually, Kevin made the big move to join her in the colorful city, and later both relocated to Houston for work opportunities.
As the couple exchanged vows in their heart-shaped pothole, they not only celebrated their love but also showcased the quirky spirit and community support that New Orleans is known for. Their wedding was a beautiful reflection of the city’s character, bringing together family, friends, and even a few local onlookers, all united by the joy of love.
For those who might have doubted unconventional weddings, Kevin and Monica’s heartfelt celebration is proof that love knows no bounds—and sometimes, a pothole is the perfect place to start a lifelong journey together!
