A one of a kind “baggo pastry” was prepared for the newlyweds by the Peabody Little Rock’s executive pastry chef, Heidi Eppling. Ben’s nickname is “Bubs” (after former Arkansas Razorback baseball player Bubs Merrill). Ben is also a spirited baggo competitor– including matches with Arkansas Governor Mike Beebe among others.
