When your engagement party coincides with the launch of a brand-new chocolate bar created by Hersheys, your wedding better follow suit and have a TON of chocolate for guests to enjoy. Hersheys made it happen by gifting Jenny Ries and Craig Hirschey—see the schtick, here?—more than 750 pounds of chocolate to serve at their February wedding.

You may remember Ries and Hirschey from their engagement photos last fall. After the brand caught wind of the very convenient joining of names, they decided to launch Reese's-Stuffed Hershey's at the couple's engagement party.

Fast forward to February 23 when the pair got married. Their wedding featured custom Hershey’s Chocolate and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cakes at each table, plus a whole lot of candy for guests to eat and take home. Hershey's even created custom Hirschey Milk Chocolate Bar with Ries’ Pieces, which are pretty much the coolest wedding favor a candy lover could dream up.

The photos are adorable. Congratulations to the Hirschey-Ries's!

Hershey's sent hundreds of pounds of candy to Jenny and Craig.
