The happy couple were whisked together in holy mayomony on October 24 in Hendersonville, North Carolina. As is appropriate for a bride and groom whose last names evoke Hellmann's mayonnaise, the socially distanced nuptials featured various nods to the emulsified condiment thanks to the mayonnaise brand. According to The Takeout Helms and Mayo shared the good news with Hellmann's while planning their wedding. In response they surprised the couple with a Hellmann's-inspired wedding cake from local bakery Gateaux, matching his-and-hers jackets, and a year's supply of mayonnaise.

And with our last names Helms and Mayo, it was just another sign that we were meant to be," the couple told Fox News. "Having Hellmann's as part of our wedding day was really special, and the custom cake and jackets were such a fun surprise. They even matched the blue and yellow wedding theme—our favorite colors!"
