Step 1: Make the decorative ice ring. In a bundt pan or round cake pan, layer the sliced strawberries, orange slices, lemon slices, and fresh mint leaves. Add 5 cups of water, ensuring the fruits and mint are evenly distributed. Freeze for at least 4-6 hours or until completely solid.
Step 2: In a large punch bowl, combine the pineapple juice, orange juice, and cranberry juice. Stir well to mix the flavors.
Step 3: Just before serving, gently pour in the lemon-lime soda and ginger ale. Stir gently to keep the carbonation intact.
Step 4: Remove the ice ring from the freezer and run warm water on the outside of the pan for a few seconds to loosen it. Carefully transfer the ice ring into the punch bowl, decorative side facing up.
Step 5: Serve the wedding punch in cups or glasses, ensuring each serving includes a bit of the colorful fruit and mint for garnish.
