“It's crazy how fast the day goes by, but it will certainly be memorable for us and our guests.

Stover cited the cake as “a highlight of our day,” but said the guests were more impressed with the “custom mason jars and chocolate.”
Andy Deister, CEO of Russell Stover Chocolates, said he wishes the couple the best and was happy to be part of the festivities.
“We wish them nothing but the best and hope they cherish their special day forever,” he said.
In the pictures shared from the big day, chocolate touches were seen throughout – from the photobooth to the robes worn while the bride was getting ready.
