When it comes to certain snacks, it's love at first sight. That's why this story was too fun not to share as it followed Erik Yakes and Erin Doolan's very own Cheez-It "Fantaseez." As a romance lover, this feels like something straight out of a movie.
In early December, Cheez-It shared the chance of a lifetime for college football fans with a few different options. One of those was the Two-Minute Timeout Wedding: "Two lucky fans will get to exchange vows on the field during the game, with the Cheez-It mascot Ched-Z officiating and their wedding party celebrating in the endzone." As you can see, Erik Yakes and Erin Doolan were the lucky winners and they chose the Two-Minute Timeout Wedding.
These two decided to apply due to a mutual love of Cheez-Its and a love for college football. The other cool thing is that the two were able to have an afterparty with a dance floor and a three-tier orange ombre cake which just sounds so cool. Honestly, there is so much about this experience that sounds unexpected but incredibly fun.
Yakes and Doolan are both college football fans with Yakes being an alumnus of Florida State University and Doolan being a Penn State alumni. I couldn't think of two more different fanbases yet they work. The devil was in the details, though as all of the Cheez-It details during their ceremony were undeniably cool.
Cheez-It gave these fans the ultimate Citrus Bowl ceremony.
As mentioned, the multiple different Cheez-It details are what made this wedding so cool. First, the Cheez-It mascot, Ched-Z was the officiant of the wedding. Who else can say they were married by a Cheez-It? It's such a unique experience and basically becomes your go-to fun fact when people want to know more about you.
The other thing I loved was all the Cheez-It-themed items the couple had. The groom wore an orange suit and completed his look with a Cheez-It bowtie. The bride wore a gorgeous wedding gown and added Cheez-It earrings along with orange nails and carried a bouquet of red, yellow, and orange flowers. Looking at the photo above, you can see just how fun these accessories were.
The two exchanged orange wedding bands which felt like the icing on the cake or should we say, the icing on the Cheez-It. Either way, their wedding was such a unique and fun experience that even the most casual Cheez-It snacker has to see it.
