Weddingbee Blog

Horrible title, I know. I would offer up the excuse that it’s Friday and my brain is toast, but let’s face it… my titles are always lame! Anyhoo, this is a post about socks. As soon as I became addicted to photography blogs and saw pictures like this (via whitebox weddings):

I knew I had to have a sock shot of my very own. I figured the hard part would be convincing Mr. Sundae to go along, but he (albeit reluctantly) agreed right away! It was kind of an, “alright, whatever you want” response, but I took it. The hard part was finding the socks.

Mr. Sundae’s only stipulation was that they had to be argyle, not striped. I assumed that finding green argyle socks would be easy… and I was wrong. There are some green argyle socks to be had, but since we were going to buy them for Mr. Sundae, his two groomsmen, and our Dads I didn’t want them to cost more than $5 or $6 per pair. When I was at my parents’ house a month or so ago, my Mom and I walked into Macy’s and she suggested we check out their sock collection (see: aforementioned Super Mom powers). Sure enough, there were some green argyle socks staring us in the face, and they were 3 for $13! Score! The bad news was, there were only 3 available in the light green color we liked:

We decided that those would work for Mr. Sundae and the two groomsmen and that we could get a darker shade for the two Dad’s (who will no doubt be completely confused about why we want to take a picture of their socks):

And here they are all together.

We also have two ushers in the wedding party, so I still have high hopes that we’ll be able to find two more pairs of the light green socks. Super Mom is on the case as I type. I know that some of the Bees are going for a sock picture - are any of you? Have you had a hard time finding socks?
