Richmond's bakery boom brings two more sweet additions
Ready your sweet tooth and stop counting calories, Richmond has a fresh batch of bakeries. Why it matters: There's no such thing as too many cookies, cakes and bread — for any city. State of play: Jane Dough , a pop-up turned brick and mortar, opened last week on MacArthur in Northside. The shop is from baker Jane Lukas, a culinary school grad who started baking during the pandemic before moving to Richmond, per Style Weekly . Once settled here, Lukas started baking in her converted garage and selling her bread and pastries at Dorey Park Farmers Market and Celladora last year, quickly developing a loyal following. On the menu : Jane Dough's signature sourdough loaves ($10-$12), focaccia ($7-$8.50), croissants ($7.50-$8.50) cookies ($3.50) and rotating pastries. Fun fact: True to Richmond's form, the bakery has been selling out quickly in its opening days, so go early. What they're saying: "We really appreciate the love the community has been showing us," Lukas tells Axios. If you go: Jane Dough is open 7am-2pm, Thursday through Sunday at 4029 MacArthur Ave. More of those gorgeous Jane Dough loaves.

Richmonders are paying to crash strangers' weddings
Hundreds of Richmonders are signing up to crash people's weddings. Why it matters: They're willing to pay to do it — and the happy couples actually want them there. That includes the bride and groom of a Richmond-area Haitian wedding this weekend, where $70 buys dinner, an open bar and dancing to Kompa and reggaeton. The 30 seats for crashers have already sold out. The big picture: The unlikely matchmaking is part of a platform called " Not a Wedding Crasher, " which launched in March to let strangers pay to party at other people's weddings and has taken off on social media . San Diego-based Jeff Besen and his wife Karina dreamed up the concept last fall when they realized they wanted to dress up and attend a wedding — but lacked an invitation to one, Besen tells Axios. Besen says the platform has since spread to roughly 25 to 30 states, with some guests flying across the country to crash weddings. Sunday's celebration is the sixth in Virginia alone, following weddings in Roanoke , Farmville , Leesburg and Culpeper in just the past few months. The appeal: Crashers get an unconventional night out and potentially new friends while
