How many of you know someone whose father was an ice cream man? A true-blue, truck-driving around the city, London Bridge is Falling Down & Pop! Goes the Weasel-playing ice cream man? Who also served soft-serve ice cream? They are few & far between.
If it is not Rich or my pup I love the most, then it is ice cream. I blame my parents because they potty trained me with ice cream sandwiches {secret's out!}. When Rich told me that not only his father, but his uncle, & great uncle were all ice cream men, & he himself drove a novelty ice cream truck during the summers in college, you can only guess how excited I was:
"Your father was an ice cream man? ..... that is the BEST thing EVER!"
So, when going through our lists of "I want's" for the wedding, which are also meaningful - not just 'cause they are cool - an ice cream truck rollin' up at the reception is now on our list - specifically Rich's list {which now includes music & ice cream}. It may not have Tastee Freeze ice cream, like Rich's father's truck, but it will have some of our favorite novelties like the Strawberry Shortcake Bar, Drumsticks, & of course, the ice cream sandwich. A bit of Rich's history combined with our mutual love for ice cream - sounds sweet to me!
Nothing is better than an ice cram truck! We are trying to get a gelato cart :) And seriously, a family history of ice cream truck drivers? AWESOME.

I love this idea! What an awesome way to bring in the family traditions. And what a funky thing to have at your wedding!
