FAQs

Then when is your anniversary going to be?

According to Orleans Parish Office of Vital Records we were married on Saturday October 4th, 2025 at 3pm by Judge Camille Buras, exactly one year after we got engaged and seven years after, one could say, we officially started dating.

Are you going on a honeymoon?

Yea duh. We did, however, decide to wait a beat as we are still recovering from the party of the century and we want to plan an equally as epic trip for our honeymoon. Our vision for that trip is to go to Indonesia and island hop, ride around on motorcycles, eat everything that gets in our way and swim in as many different bodies of water as humanly possible. Plus you know Sam can’t go anywhere without checking out something spooky, in this case probably some bat temples, Dutch cemeteries and ancient cliff tombs or maybe a haunted forest or two.

How did Sam/Sammi and Jon/DJ meet?

Well, legend has it that they were involved in a brawl over a plate of famous Piece of Meat ribs. The ribs were cooked by the Reverend Dr. Daniel Jackson while Leighann “Mama Hawk” Smith was slanging drinks down at the Royal Street Saloon and Inn. Jon, as it were, had the audacity to steal Sam’s whole entire plate of ribs, which she had stood in a very long line to get, because, yes, they were that good. A bar fight ensued….or maybe it was love. (disclaimer: history is always written by victors, or so they say, and time can often do funny things to a story)

What does Dijkhuizen mean?

Literally translated, Dijkhuizen (a Dutch word) means houses on the levee. Unfortunately here in Louisiana, the Army Corps of Engineers tends to frown on you building structures of any kind on both the river and hurricane levees.
