We actually found them by looking for “custom made cake toppers” on ebay. Then from there we found the companies website and did more research. A friend in Europe recently asked me, so my wife and I researched emails until we found the company, which had gone out of business. It was a small cake topping company in the US, that would send you picture to a Chinese company, and the cake topper would be sent back very quickly. We even got pictures first of what they looked like, and made some changes to thinks that didn’t look right. From what I found then when looking for m friend is that there are several companies or businesses in the US offering the service now. With a little be of web searching they should be able to find something. A coworker and her husband are big sports fans and they got a customized sports theme cake topper…so I know there are a lot of options out there. Ryan’s Response re; cake topper below:

I agree wholeheartedly about hiring a good photographer. Even if you are on a budget, there are ways to afford great photos. Do you really need favors, fancy invitations, a designer gown, a wedding cake? I think every couple has their priorities - but in the end, it's the photos that will stick around as tangible reminders of your big day. Even if you can only afford the basic package from a good photographer, it's worth the investment. I've heard from several brides who hired amateur photographers in an attempt to save money. The result? Big regrets. Sounds like this wedding made for some cherished memories for all!

We had members of the family from several states and it was a wonderful time of reunion and celebration! Ryan is right - family and friends are the most important "possessions" we have and I think when they married they combined two of the best around!!

The effort these two kids put into this was unbelieveable. I couldn't ask for a better son and new daughter! But Ryan is correct do what you want for a wedding, the important people will make the extra effort to be in attendance. The controlled setting on the cruise allowed all of us to get to know our new in-laws, something that could not have happened in one evening. Hire a good photographer incredible work.
