Mrs. Pencils's Picture
Mrs. Pencils, Washington DC/Frederick, MD Age and Occupation: 24, Program Director, Education Non Profit Fiance's Age and Occupation: 24, Administrative Assistant, Ocean Conservation Non Profit Engagement Date: July 26, 2008 Wedding Date: May 2010 Venue: Morningside Inn About Me: I'm a nerdy Northwestern girl who always knew she was meant to live in the East, harboring a deep love of ice cream, underwear, Diet Coke with a splash of Coca-Cola, pashminas, scrapbooking, stationery, wall calendars and books written for preteens. I think every day should include good thin crust pizza, chocolate, an obscure historical monument, lots of laughter, a dash of wedding planning and, of course, amazing Mr. Pencils! I'm loving the adventure of planning a Maryland wedding and Rocky Mountain reception, and most of all, I just love love!
About Mrs. Pencils

As Mr. Pencils would say, the men got dressed together “because Miss Pencils would have wanted us to… for photos.” I’ll admit it—I asked the groomsmen and my father to crowd into a much smaller hotel room and put their ties on together.

They all obliged. Thanks guys!

Here’s the morning in Mr. P’s words: “Best Man A took me to get a bagel, I had to go to the claymation place to get that dish, then I got cigars for Uncle J. Once we got to the hotel, then we waited in the room for about an hour while we waited for all the guys to arrive. I wanted to watch Star Wars but got vetoed and we watched lacrosse. Then we got ready. It was really hot in that room.”

Annnnddddd, I guess that’s why I do the blogging. Thanks, hubby. :) By the way, “claymation” place is the ceramics studio where I made our ring holder.

While Susan stayed with us gals getting ready, Brian headed over to capture the men.

Oh Daddy Pencils, you are so cute! Nope, his tie WASN’T yellow. But Mr. P’s other Best Man had a bit of trouble getting it perfect, so he stepped in and helped. ADORABLE.

You can’t say we didn’t pay our reverend/Uncle well. Mr. P gifted him on camera, immortalizing the payment forever.

A lot of times I look at Mr. P and get excited by how darn good looking he is. Anyone else feel this way about their fiance/spouse?

Because in real life, this is exactly how seven men would hold a conversation- squeezed into a booth meant for five people.

And then, there were the socks. Oh, how excited I was to find these socks for two dollars each at Macy’s. Oh so excited.

I asked Mr. P if he felt silly in this pose. His answer? “We thought of it ourselves!”

Then Mr. Pencils got his own glamour shoot. Oh yes, get ready.

hmmm I have an idea what the surprise is… but I won’t spoil it. Am I right in guessing it involves reading bass clef?? Can’t help it! It’s kinda hard to hide. So excited to see the rest of your posts!

Okay. I LOVE the pic of your dad helping out with the tie! And can’t wait to see your prezzy either! :) Great great photos all around- glad you laid down the law and shoved all those men into one room! :)

Wow the laundry room is definitely a unique place for a photo shoot! Cute pic though!

I had to lay down the law and tell all the guys they were getting dressed together too, and I went one step futher and told them they had to do at the venue so they wouldn’t have time to get all wrinkled :) Of course, they almost forgot to let the female photog back in for the shots of them getting ties and jackets on…

I have to confess that I laughed right out loud at Mr. Pencils’ VERY succinct summary of the wedding morning, as well as his calling the paint-your-own-pottery “claymation.” Oh, boys.

I busted out laughing when I read, “Because in real life, this is exactly how seven men would hold a conversation- squeezed into a booth meant for five people.” hahaha! That’s awesome Mr. P got a mini photo shoot and love that you found those socks for $2/pair! I need identical socks to those so to Macy’s I stalk!
