Hello, hello! Mrs. Penguin here! Perhaps you may remember me? I’m back from the depths of post-wedding limbo, armed with pro pics!
Raise your hand if you’re ready to share some pictures!
Girl who can’t dress herself is!
I kicked off the morning of the wedding at my parents house, while Mr. Penguin had the privilege of getting ready in the Honeymoon Suite. I had a pretty quiet morning. A quick hair appointment, a visit with a good friend, a stop for a sandwich, and I was back home by 10:45 AM to put on my game face.
My makeup artist came armed with barely enough ammo to put me together:
And she got to work. I loved being able to get my makeup done at home. Being able to see and hear all the hubbub of our family and friends all throughout the house really raised my excitement and anticipation levels.
Even my boob zits got the royal treatment that day.
Don’t mock Hootie McZitboobs.
Around noon, my girlfriends arrived! They checked out the sweet blue topaz ring that Mr. Penguin got me earlier that week.
Then Sarah whisked it off to snap some shots of it, and other little details.
We all headed upstairs to get ready! I zipped up the ladies, and then they all helped me into my dress.
Holding up my dress while everyone dressed me was incredibly exhausting…
So my MOH offered to help hold it up for me.
Help! Stranger danger!
Some last minute touches, we were ready to head out!
But wait, Pengy! Don’t forget your granny panties!
Granny Panties, Check! A quick cool off and we were REALLY out the door!
Meanwhile, in the man chambers…

Share this post: Penguin Recap: Morning, Sunshine!
yay! I have been waiting for Penguin pics.
aww!!! You’re pictures were certainly worth the wait! I looooove them! You look so gorgeous!
What gorgeous pictures! You look so beautiful and your pictures are amazing! I’m so excited for the rest of your recap!
hahaha, i shall make sure i wear proper attire for prep as well so my mini-boobs and back can get in on the action too
so glad the recap has finally commenced!!
You’re pics are too cute. Where did you bms get their dresses?
Love the first and last shots! MORE pictures please!
@Amy: We bought online here:

I had a great experience with them! Cheaper than in a salon, too! Just be sure to order VERY EARLY! Dresses take about 16 weeks to ship…but I think that might be normal even if you order in a salon.
Love these pics! Again I’m reminded just how beautiful your dress is - and your bridesmaid dresses too!
Ooohh…I’m ready to see more pics!! And, what were the granny panties for??
Pengy, pengy, pengy. Oh how I love thee. Show more pics. And write more captions please.
I’m lovin the first shot and the boobie make-up. Please Pengy, can we have so more photos!
Me = Adore Pengy!
Can’t wait for more-y!
Yay, Peng! I’m so glad that it’s time for your recaps! I’ve been anxiously awaiting… 
I think my fave pic is the one of your blue shoes and your dog…I loved how your photographer captured the moment…and I’m secretly jealous that I was not able to have my dogs in any of my pics because they were not allowed in the hotel…. =(
eee, i wish i could set a penguin alarm for when you post the rest…which is soon, right? stopping there was completely uncool.
Sarah’s macro lens is unbelievable! I love the detail shots, as well as that first shot. Way to start things off with a bang.
You crack me up! I look forward to more pictures with funny captions…or funny pictures without captions…whatever. Are those different shoes than you showed us way back when? They are super cute regardless. Love the detail shots with greenery…especially the one of your earrings. The topaz ring is beautiful!
You are adorable!!!
I love the photos, and those SHOES are AWESOME.
That maid of honor is Klassy with a capital K. I love how she’s manhandling you with that wee beady look in her eyes. My kinda gal.
Beautiful photos!
Can you tell me more about that ring? I love it!
Glad I wasn’t at work reading this because I probably would have fallen out of my chair in hysterics after seeing the “Don’t mock Hootie McZitboobs.” comment. You are hilarious!
Absolutely beautiful pictures…
Lovely! Your eye make up in the third photo is so flawless.
Finally!!!
Yay! Mrs. Penguin you are hilarious! I wish I could have Sarah Chen as my wedding photographer!!
So awesome! More, more, more ASAP please. . . .
Yay! Finally!! I can’t wait to see more, Mrs. Penguin!
Oh.
Mah.
Gah.
GORGEOUS. Seriously. These pictures are to die for.
Do you know one of the things I love about you so much, Pengy? It’s that you are so honest. You talk about things that everyone can identify with but no one talks about with such humor. I adore you for your honesty and for making me laugh my ass off. THANKS!
Absolutely friggin amazing! I want mo mo more! hahahaha. Man I am demanding. You are too cute!
