Pie instead of wedding cake?

My FI and I love pie way more than cake, so would it be weird to ditch cake altogether and just serve pie and have that what we cut and serve each other? I know it technically doesn't matter what they think, but as a guest would you be flabbergasted that there was no cake to cut into?

As long as you have pie for everyone i think its a GREAT idea!!

I've been to 2 weddings that have had pie.  They had about 5 flavors to choose from, the wedding I went last Saturday had ice cream too.  Make the flavors fun and seasonal!

I agree with Trae that it would be nice to have different flavors to choose from. As a guest I wouldn't think it was strange: however I wouldn't have any because I dislike pie (i'm weird though).

I think it sounds delicious!

We did that but we had cheesecakes instead of wedding cake.  Pics in married bio if you want to see how we set it up.  It was a big hit.

I think if that's what you 2 like, let them eat pie! It's your wedding day and it should be a reflection of the 2 of you, not what everyone says you should do. I love the idea.

I'm very traditional, so honestly I would think it was a little odd, but I wouldn't be flabbergasted.  Weddings are becoming more and more personal- and less traditional.  Lots of people ditch the cake idea and go with cupcakes, several different flavor sheet cakes, cheesecake, and I'm sure even pie.  If you don't like cake then don't serve it.  If you really worry about what guests will think, you can have a grooms cake for those who want cake and pie for those who want pie.

I've seen and been to a couple of weddings that have had pie instead of cake.  As PP have said, go for a few different flavors.  I have even seen pies stands that resemble the tiered cake.  The stand has tiered racks for 3 or 4 different sizes so it has that "stacked" look to it.

Thanks for all the support! There's a small part of me that still wants a cake because I also am pretty traditional, pulga131, but its kind of one of those "crazy ideas" my fiance came up with that I actually think is a great idea. Maybe we will have a small cake if anyone wants it, but who knows. Definitely want some apple, boston creme, key lime, and banana cream pies!!!

i don't like cake (and i'd want to be able to eat my own wedding...dessert) so i though about having a regular cake, but we would cut into and eat a small cheescake (cake is cheaper to feed the guests)

I don't particularly care for pie, however, if I were a guest at a wedding with only pie I wouldn't care one darn bit.  It is unique and reflects the Bride and Groom's tastes so I would just sit back and enjoy being at the event.  If you want pie, you should have pie!

I think if I attended a wedding in which I was served a slice of pie rather than cake not only would I find it unique and memorable but also extremely delectable! Perhaps I say this because I'm not much of a cake enthusiast but I'm sure none of your guests will forget the experience! And there's really something to be said about doing things your way even if it falls out of the standards and the norms. Do it!

I am not a big cake eater, and neither is FI, so we are doing cupcakes.  I have also been thinking about serving some pies.  FI is Southern born/bred, so pie is like a tradition around here.  We may end up having some "groom's pie" instead of cake.
