In addition to creating a unique ceremony, the couple capitalized on their unique situation with the bride’s new last name being the same as her first name.
“It’s not every day a bride marries someone whose last name is their first name, so we wanted to have fun with that,” Haley shares with PEOPLE. “We both wanted to incorporate Haley Haley in some of our wedding details. She adds, “We even had Haley² on the napkins!”
The Haley² napkins were used as the guests dined on petite beef filets and butter-poached lobster tails, along with a four-tier creme brûlée cake. And for those who wanted to indulge their sweet tooth a bit more, the reception also included a s’mores station.
