Ice cream truck! and a Lobster Bake.

Over the past few years there has been an increase in weddings that are tweaking the traditional wedding order to create a more personal and less formal flow of events. Many are having both genders on both sides of the wedding party, or no wedding party at all, and some are doing cocktail receptions or lobster bakes(as this couple did) instead of full sit-down dinners. It is quite common to skip the garter and bouquet now, or have an outdoor ceremony instead of a religious site, and more more more people are not cutting the cake either. One thing I have not run into in my 10+ years of weddings is an ice cream truck instead of cake or dessert. That is, until now!

The bride and groom greeted every guest from inside the truck to give them what ever treat they wanted. It was such a fun idea and the whole guest list smiled like they were 8 years old all over again! It generated a feeling of simple and sweet, and gave the couple a little moment with each guest. It was fun to see guests at a wedding get excited over a snow cone, or a Italian ice, or the old ice cream sandwich. www.jacksicecream.net

Thank you so much L and D! (and Jack)

Boston in Newport!

One of the speeches that happened in honor of the couple's marraige, was in regards to location. The entire day took place at Ocean Cliff resort in Newport RI starting with getting ready, to amazing ocean views, to the ceremony and reception...oh, and it's absolutely the perfect spot for the groom drinking a beer out of his shoe. Anyway, there was clearly a confusion for the best man, a Bostonian, as he jested the couple as to why if they were from Boston, the families were from Boston, and the friends were from Boston...what could possibly be the reason to drag everyone to NEWPORT, Rhode Island? Well, take a look at the scenery in the images and I think we will all get a glimpse at the reasons the couple thought Newport was THE perfect spot for getting married. Clearly they were right.

Thanks M and M
