My Favorite D.I.B(uy)

I dedicate this post to Miss Funnel Cake and her out of this world cake topper. 

Unfortunately I am not even close to her level of craftiness so I decided to buy my cake topper.  Best.Wedding.Decision.Ever!  I am so in love with our cake topper it is not even funny.  I stalked etsy for days looking for the perfect topper and finally came across A Simple Start's page.

Her toppers were so adorable and reasonably priced that I immediately sent her an email with a little inspiration board of Mr. Cuke Sammie and myself.

Jenni immediately emailed me back and said she would love to make us a topper with Pickle Puppy.  In about three weeks I had these glorious images in my inbox.

And here is the topper in all her glory at the wedding (yes, it is a her).

 It seems like after the wedding there are so few tangible things that you get to take home.  Sure, you will always have the pictures and the memories but a lot of the 'crafty' things get thrown out or given to guests.  I am not really going to store all of my handmade table numbers or keep all of my milk glass that I spent hours collecting.  I love the cake topper because it is something tangible that I get to take home and display.  Every time I glance over at her on the shelf she gives me the warm fuzzies!  I love that she depicts us in our wedding day finest and has the Pickle Pupple.  I adore that she can be displayed in our home for people to see when they come to visit.  Towards the end of the planning process I started looking for things that I would take with me to the 'other side'.  Tangible things that I could look at and remember how much fun I had planning/crafting the wedding.  

Anyone else super excited about their cake topper?  Married bees; what did you keep after the wedding?
