I DEFINITELY want a cookie table and to go easy on the cake. Half the people I know don't eat cake at weddings anyways.
I want my grandma to be there so badly, so I hope she is able to make cookies for my wedding. That would mean so much to me because I always hoped to have her there, obviously, and she is the one who I always cooked with growing up. I owe her a lot.

I'd also like to do hard tack in the colors, but it really depends on the colors and the season. Don't want it to melt and get gross.
Hardtack at a wedding? That's different, I've never heard of it. I have eaten so many "Sailor Boy" pilot bread meals in the field I just can't imagine it in any other setting.

If I ever get married I'm probably going to have a traditional Norwegian cake (kransekake, made with almonds, sugar and eggs, no flour! and shaped in concentric rings), and depending on my spouse's background there may be some cake or dessert he wants. I'd love a Scandinavian cookie table/plates because a lot of those can be made ahead of time and represent me more than regular wedding cake. Krumkake, fattigman, rosettes, and all other kinds of tasty things with cream and berries.
