Food, glorious food. It is one of the few things that can bring us all together. At the end of the night, sometimes all someone wants is a midnight snack.
When planning your wedding favours, why not go for something edible? Edible wedding favours are great because they can be affordable and easily diy’ed. Another added bonus is that your guests can reuse the containers the gifts come in or simply keep them as mementos.
Treat your guests with something to nibble on with one of these favourites.

Planning a wedding can be tough. With all the moving parts, you’re bound to feel overwhelmed. So why not rely on a professional to do it for you?…
It’s a love story. Baby, just say yes. This bride took her idol Taylor Swift’s words to heart when she got engaged to her lover. Fast forward to their wedding day, superfan Erin Seeherman decided to honour the famous musican with a Lover– themed wedding.
Seeherman’s wildest dreams came true when Swift herself reached out to congratulate them.
Seeherman has been a Swiftie for years. In 2016, she met her future husband Moshe Berman, and their love story involved Swift from the jump. Seeherman was in the process of replicating one of Swift’s tour costumes for a Halloween costume at the time and Berman quickly came on board to assist.
Over the course of their relationship, they bonded over Seeherman’s love for Taylor Swift. So much so that Berman proposed to Seeherman at a Taylor Swift concert in 2018.
To keep the theme going, the couple knew they had to involve Swift’s music in their wedding festivities. They settled on creating a wedding theme based on Swift’s latest studio album, Lover.
Various homages to Swift decorated the wedding venue, from the Lover album art colour scheme to place cards that featured origami paper rings with paper butterflies attached.
Swift’s music played throughout the day. Seeherman walked down the aisle to Swift’s “Call It What You Want”, the very same song that played when Berman proposed to Seeherman. Their first dance was appropriately set to Swift’s ‘Lover’.
I’ve loved him three summers now and got to marry him at our “Lover”-themed wedding. This moment made fastening 2,542 flowers to that flower wall worth it. @taylorswift13 @taylornation13 #Lover #LoverWeddingParTAY

Seeherman has been sharing images of the wedding to her personal Twitter account, which caught the eye of Swift herself.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! ????????????? https://t.co/laPfuMRkaH

I’m sorry, but the old Erin can’t come to the Twitter right now. Why? Oh, ‘cause she’s dead. @taylorswift13, I can’t thank you enough. I have loved and supported you for years and never in my wildest dreams (see what I did there?) did I think you would ever know. ❤️ https://t.co/IkonF4bO42

Seeherman couldn’t believe her eyes when her heroine responded to her.
“I was really shocked,” she told Billboard. “I never expected her to notice the efforts we had gone to. All the effort we put into the wedding we would have done regardless of whether we thought she might notice because we – my husband now too identifies as a huge Taylor Swift fan – are such huge fans so we were happy and excited to do this, but never really had that expectation that anything would come of it or that we would get noticed.”

Your wedding will be a romantic affair regardless of your theme. However, a romantic theme is always appropriate for the day, especially if you are wanting your wedding…
Some might devise an elaborate plan to pop the big question, but this man proved that you shouldn’t be chicken to do a humble proposal. His decision to propose in a local fast food restaurant has turned into a social media storm as people across the country come together to give them a wedding beyond their wildest dreams.
A video of a man proposing in a Vaal KFC outlet was posted to Twitter yesterday afternoon, and quickly caught the attention of social media users. Fast food giant KFC South Africa saw the video of the couple becoming engaged and posted it to their official Twitter. In their tweet, KFC SA appealed to their followers to help identify the couple in the hopes of doing something special for them.

The couple has since been identified and two Twitter users are meeting with them today to discuss wedding planning. The grooms name is Mr. Kansi, and his financial situation is tough at the moment so he would like to have a small wedding to celebrate their nuptials.
I just spoke to Mr Kansi re his #KFCProposal. He’d like to have a small event to celebrate his wife but budget is tight. We need a venue, dress, suit, cake, and food. I can’t wait to MC this one.
Can anyone else help us, please ?

Getting engaged is a big deal. We get it. When your loved one pops the question, or says yes, all you want to do is shout it out…
This unique couple is blazing a new path with their personalised wedding photoshoot. Right after these best buds married, they posed for a photoshoot while smoking a bong.

Marijuana is legal in California, where bride and groom Coral and Mio live. As cannabis activists, Coral and Mio knew it had to feature in their big day. At their October wedding in Santa Cruz, California, the bridal couple decided to ditch the traditional wedding photoshoot in favour of sparking up a bong and blowing the smoke at the camera. The resulting images were pretty dope.
Their bongs were custom designed to read ‘Mr’ and ‘Mrs’. Corals bouquet also featured hemp in it.

Photographer Rachel Artime was on hand to capture this moment. About the images, Rachel told Metro UK, “I’m really happy with the pictures. I love the smoke. It makes them look haunting and romantic in a weird way.”
“I’ve never had to photograph anything like this before. This is the most unconventional and non-traditional thing to happen at a wedding,” she continues. “Every wedding I’ve done is the most normal thing ever, so this is quite the experience to be photographing people literally smoking a blunt at their wedding. It was like nothing I’d ever seen before.”
