My wife and I are a bit eccentric. When we chose to get married, we wanted to  prepare a wedding unlike any other, so we decided on a destination wedding in Alaska. The ceremony favors for baptism was planned to perfection, but we wished to make sure the reception was unique as well. She and I decided to find fun, odd pieces to include in the reception. The cake was red velvet with white icing, but we wished to make it really pop. Our concept was personalized bride and groom cake toppers. My fiancée and I went to the studio to have our pictures taken and had our images  created into a pair of bobble head cake toppers! I was happy to buy them. After we had our pictures taken, my fiancée wished to look at some of the other customizable wedding  prefers. She found a personalized stemless wine glass that she thought would be perfect for her bridesmaids. She decided to buy them on the spot so they could be personalized well in advance of the wedding. I mentioned some toasting glasses for weddings, and she  fell for them immediately. The selection consisted of  a number of glasses with  various  design and colors, and we  simply couldn't resist. We also found some cool wedding place card holders, which we thought was a far better choice than simply  putting a card on the plate. After we decided on the placeholders I coaxed her out to avoid spending much more money! With every passing day our wedding drew nearer, but there was still a lot planning to do. My fiancée wished to give our parents some sort of a  present to thank them for their love and support, but we  just weren't sure exactly what to give them. She went online to see the condition of our personalized wedding cake topper and some small wedding favor boxes we had purchased. I recommended that we  provide them each a box filled with  photos and keepsakes from our wedding. There was still something missing, however. Since our wedding was fairly small, we wanted to send everyone home with something really  unique. We didn't want it to be too typical, but we also knew everyone appreciates a helpful  present. At first we considered providing everyone personalized wedding glassware, but then we decided not to since it would have to survive the plane ride home. We eventually  opted to give  everybody gloves  because it would be chilly in Alaska. The wedding wound up being a  big hit! Our photographer was even able to use a Polaroid camera for a couple of pictures so we could give our parents the  memento boxes as soon as possible. The band we hired was amazing (and knew a lot more punk  songs than we  anticipated!). Our cake toppers were the centerpiece of our wedding. Everyone complimented the cake toppers and asked us where we got them. Everybody cracked up as my wife and I gave out gloves as a wedding favor. We'll certainly remember our wedding for the rest of our lives. Heck, we have a lot of odd  mementos around  your house to remind us!
