When Chidi and Innocent Ogbuta decided to renew their vows for their 10-year anniversary, they knew they wanted to make it special. But they couldn’t guess their celebration would gain them fame on CNN’s Web site a few months later.

It began when the couple started thinking about a wedding cake and Chidi had an idea.

“Growing up, I had always wanted a doll made in my likeness,” she said. “So when we started planning our wedding, that thought came back to mind. So I decided I’d like my wedding cake to do that.”

Innocent said he had no reservations about helping his wife fulfill a childhood wish.

“It was something that she liked and if there was a way to make it happen, why not?” he said. “It was fun.”
