My fiancé and I don't like cake. I mean, we REALLY don't like cake. When in a situation where we can't politely decline, we share the smallest piece and don't finish it. I don't want to pay hundreds of dollars for two cakes that he and I won't even want to eat, much less enjoy. Cheesecake is not an option either since my fiancé is lactose intolerant and the Lactaid type supplements don't completely eliminate symptoms.
Here's what I was thinking instead: Jello and pie. A lot of talented bakers can do all sorts of tasty and interesting things with pie, and I don't know anyone who doesn't like Jello. If you attended a wedding where there was no cake, would you be disappointed?
We will have a maximum of 190 people attending our wedding.
