Ben & Jerry’s for the Bride & Groom!
August 15th, 2008 @ 9:32 am by Mrs. Onion
Hello, my name is Mrs. Onion. You may have forgotten me… I was married last September and I am JUST now finishing my re-cap. Forgive me (hangs head in shame).
I love Ben & Jerry’s ice cream and when I realized there was a Ben & Jerry’s scoop shop directly across from our reception restaurant, I knew I had to have an ice cream cone with Mr. Onion on our wedding day. I was so set on this idea that I had the smallest bite of our oh so delicious wedding cake (which killed me) so I could have room for ice cream.
Walking the few steps to the scoop shop.
Waiting in line — it was so strange that no one seemed to notice I was a bride. I guess it’s Burlington so they are soooo used to seeing brides that they don’t look twice. However, one family behind us finally asked (only when they saw two photographers), “Are you a bride?” to which I smiled and said “YES! We got married this afternoon.” The father said “Oh, if I’d known, I would have gotten you a present!” Only in Vermont. I half expected him to offer to buy our ice cream, but no such luck.
And here is the photo I promised. This is my “WHAT? No coffee heath bar crunch?! What is a girl to do??” face.
Mr. Onion points out there is mint chocolate chunk and harmony is restored.
Then we notice Mr. Onion’s best friend/groomsman saw we slipped out of the reception and wanted to know what was going on so he followed us!
More cuteness…
I’m not sure what warranted the hand on the hip anymore, but I’m sure Mr. Onion was teasing me about something.
I love him enough to share…
This is my favorite of this series and it will totally end up framed!
On our way back to the restaurant we ran into my mother and two family friends who hadn’t gotten a chance to see my wedding ring and engagement ring together yet.
Taking advantage of the street lamp and empty street on the Church Street Marketplace.
And Daria walked us back to the restaurant before she and Andy headed home to relieve the babysitter.
[This concludes the professional photos re-cap.]
Up next… the after party and how Mrs. Onion wasn’t allowed into a pub as the bouncer didn’t think she was legal!!

Ooo, you like my fave, too! I love the in-the-middle-of-the-street nighttime shots!
Oh my.
The picture in the middle of the street next to the street lamp. Totally gorgeous.
And something about it says “The Notebook”
Lovely 
Yay, Mrs. Onion returns! These pics are too cute. I love your caption re: mint chocolate chunk. How great that you got to include a Ben & Jerry’s trip in your wedding day!
i love your recaps! pics are super cute!
The picture you want framed is SO cute!! And the ones of the 2 of you in the empty street looks like Main Street in Disneyland, lol
The first photo is my favorite! And for the record, if I ever see a bride in an icre cream shop, I’m buying her cone!
I adore the second to the last photo.
oh, now I realize why I got up and scooped myself some icecream just now…. heehee!
I love Vermont! I think I ate Ben and Jerry’s nearly every day during my last visit! I would have totally been waiting in line in my dress to:)
Adorable pictures too! I especially love the shots in the street.
On that last note, I just have to comment that I’m over the three decade mark, and last week at a wedding not only did I get carded, but the bartender gave me that “There’s no way you’re over 21, honey.” look! I was a bit insulted until I found out that he then told my FSIL that “she was fine”, and he didn’t need to see her ID!
When it comes to the ladies, if you card one, card ‘em all, man!!
I am trying to find the perfect location for our between ceremony shots, and I keep thinking of you and wanting to find an ice cream parlor.
Too cute! The Ben & Jerry’s factory is right down the road from where we’re getting married. I can’t wait!!!
Omg! What a fantastic idea! I’m loving the last streetlamp photo–just gorgeous! I’m so jealous that you were able to steal away from your reception to do that…what a nice way of taking a deep breath and getting a little time together!
Thanks for all the sweet comments! It was a wonderful little break and I’m glad we could scoot across the marketplace to do this. I will never forget it and am thrilled to have the photos to remember it by.
There are lots of ways to do something similar though — get your venue to serve ice cream with dessert, have an ice cream bar (there are companies that will bring in an ice cream cart), etc. If this is an idea you love — there are many ways to make it happen.
