I am a chocoholic so my favorite changes every day. However, my top three favorites are always dove dark chocolate, peanut m&ms and snickers. It amazes me when I hear someone say they don't like chocolate. WHAT!!!!
Is there a reason why you didn't want to invite your family to the wedding? Not even your parents? I know everyone is different but I would be very upset if someone in my family didn't invite me to their wedding so I can see where they are coming from. But I wouldn't be as upset if it was a friend getting married and I wasn't invited because they were having a small and intimate wedding. I still think you should have the AHR though. There are many ways that you can do it without spending a lot of money. You can share your wedding video or pictures and then maybe they will feel then like they were a part of it. Weddings are special lifetime moments that people want to share in.
What a cute idea/theme! There have been some great ideas on here. My first was to get them the Heavenly bed! A bit out of the price range but I just bought one so it is on my mind.
Thanks so much for posting all this!! I really enjoyed looking through all your pictures. Everything looks absolutely amazing and it looks like you spent so much time on everything. Very well done indeed. I would have loved to be a guest at your wedding!!
