I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream. On a hot summer’s day, nothing is better than the refreshing coolness of an icy lolly.
With the hot season approaching, it’s best to plan ahead and think of creative ways to keep your guests cool during a summer wedding. Ice cream may seem casual, but it is also fun and nostalgic. A major trend for modern weddings is personalisation, so why not incorporate a childhood favourite into your big day?
Here are some ways to include ice cream into your wedding:
Escort cards:
Use the stick of the ice cream to display your guest’s name, and arrange them in groupings that match with your seating chart. Your guests can simply grab a lolly and head to their table!
Match the colour of the ice cream to your wedding day, and incorporate fruits that are popular in the season like strawberries and watermelon.

Wedding favours:
Give your guests something to nibble on when they leave your wedding. Simply arrange ice cream lollies on a table, and your guests can help themselves.

Ice cream carts:
Food trucks are super popular for weddings, so why not have a dessert truck? Load it up with a variety of ice cream flavours and toppings, like fruit, chocolates, nuts and sauces. Your guests can mix and match to create their own unique concoctions.

While weddings are known as traditional and sometimes sacred passages of life, in the 2020s many couples are looking for a more modern approach to declaring their love.…
Your wedding day is meant to be a fun and stress-free day with your loved ones. Unfortunately, disaster struck for a UK bride when her father collapsed while dancing at her recent wedding. Luckily, she is a trained nurse and jumped in to save the day.
While dancing to Queen’s ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’, father John Douglas (65) “fell like a sack of potatoes” and stopped breathing, reports the New York Post.
Douglas has suffered from heart problems for years, and while he had taken the necessary medication on the day, his blood pressure dropped after he drank tequila during the wedding.
Bride Kim Leary (37) immediately sprung to action and resuscitated her father. Along with her husband, they spent the remainder of their wedding night at the hospital with her father.
“The paramedics said he was very lucky to survive. Thank God he didn’t die,” Leary told The Sun. “It would have turned the best day ever into the worst. I did joke I was glad he saved it for midnight and not when I was walking down the aisle,” she quipped.
Douglas spent five days in the hospital, and received a motorized scooter to help him move around more easily.

Shoppers in Target got a lot more than they bargained for recently, when a bride stormed through the store and demanded her fiancé marry her immediately or else…
A woman from Port Elizabeth is taking legal steps to become single again after discovering she has been married for 16 years to a man she has never met.
The 41-year-old, who prefers to remain anonymous, told Rapport that she discovered she is married to a Chinese man named Chao Chen while applying for a new ID in 2016.
She had lost her ID when she moved from Cape Town to PE, and also applied for a social grant when she applied for her new ID. It was then that she was informed that she was married in community of property with Chen.
According to Home Affairs, fraudulent marriages are quite common, and many are reported every year. This fraudulent marriage occurs when someone uses another’s ID to register a marriage between them.
The woman has since approached the Pretoria High Court and its working with the Wits Law Clinic to invalidate the fraudulent marriage. The first step is to make Chen aware of the legal proceedings, however, he cannot be found.
