When Solange Knowles married Alan Ferguson in New Orleans in November, 2014, the entire wedding party, including her sister, Beyonce, had the time of their lives dancing in the street in a second line parade. Everyone waved their hands in the air and celebrated for several blocks as they followed a brass band through the French Quarter.
This second line tradition is a century old and used in many New Orleans weddings. The parade signifies the start of a new beginning of life for the bride and groom.
