An extravagant man creates a legendary wedding. For one of the wealthiest men in Louisiana's Petit Paris, a regular affaire wasn't enough for his daughters' double wedding. Based on a true story from 1800s St. Martinville, this tale reveals how one creative man used gold dust and 1 million spiders to stage an event still talked about more than 100 years later.
