The couple loves ice cream, so instead of cake at the reception, they had the Coneflower Creamery truck serving miniature cones. Guests could choose between chocolate or Blackstone Butterbrickle. Matt Edwards Fine Foods provided smaller desserts such as coconut macaroons, chocolate tarts and raspberry shortbread cookies.

Instead of a traditional guestbook, guests signed wine bottles labeled to be enjoyed on their first, fifth, 10th and 15th wedding anniversaries.

The couple loves ice cream, so instead of cake at the reception, they had the Coneflower Creamery truck serving miniature cones. Guests could choose between chocolate or Blackstone Butterbrickle. Matt Edwards Fine Foods provided smaller desserts such as coconut macaroons, chocolate tarts and raspberry shortbread cookies.
