Mrs. Bacon's Picture
Mrs. Bacon, Chicago Age and Occupation: 26, Digital Advertising Manager Fiance's Age and Occupation: 25, IT Client Services Engagement Date: June 17, 2010 Wedding Date: September 2011 Venue: Ravenswood Billboard Factory About Me: I'm a Midwestern girl that can't seem to commit to staying in one place for too long and is constantly daydreaming about my next adventure. I am an aspiring foodie with a weak spot for the unusual and I love semi-reality food television. My other loves easily include laughing as a form of exercise, a book that I can't put down, summer baseball games, espresso with whipped cream, couch potato days and nights with the ridiculous Mr. Bacon, and our two kitties, Lincoln and Sawyer. We're planning a faux-destination wedding for 150 of our closest friends and family in the city we've both adopted as home that has a modern, yet whimsical twist and as many personal touches as we can manage.
About Mrs. Bacon

Nope, we still haven’t picked out tuxes. Nope, we aren’t sure if the dudes are wearing ties, cravats or bow ties. Nope, the Baconator still hasn’t convinced the guys that they should all don beards in his honor. Nope, we’re not sure how the guys are spending Mr. B’s last day as a single man.

Um, Miss Bacon? What the heck do you know? We know about shoes! The Baconator always says, “I’ve been wearing Chucks since before it was cool…again.” So it was no contest that the Bacon Boys would be donning the famous sneakers on our wedding day. For a while we threw around the idea of some slick wingtips, but once we knew that I wasn’t wearing fancy kicks, there was no reason for him to wear them.

It won’t just the Baconator and groomsmen in these sneaks, but also the ring bearer and the officiant! Mr. B and the ring bearer are going to be wearing red ones, the Best Bacon will be in grey, the groomsmen will be in black and the officiant will be wearing white…because he’s holy? We actually ordered them as gifts for the guys way back before Thanksgiving and have had each of the dudes try them on. To top it off, we’re taking each pair of shoes to be embroidered with the nicknames that the Baconator has made up for all of them like “Dr Love” and “Boy Wonder” and “Special K” and “Mr T.” I’m trying to convince him that his should say “Baconator,” but he’s leaning toward “Awesome” since he’s so humble. (Can you sense the sarcasm? LOL!)

We are so excited to know that the folks standing beside us on our big day are going to be comfortable all day long. Remember this photo from my other shoe post? I can’t wait for one of our own!

What shoes are your guys wearing? Was it hard to decide or a total no brainer?

I love the look. I really love the fact that he decided to put nicknames on the shoes too. I think it gives them a special touch. :-)

Our guys are wearing chucks. The groom and best man designed their own on the converse website. Can you say blue swede shoes? And with “Groom” down the back stripe. The best man went in a different direction… he opted for white leather chucks that say ‘best man’ down the back. They’re expensive to customize, so we let him have what he wanted.

My shoes… not so simple to decide, but I ended up with white low-ish heeled dress sandals for the ceremony, and blue sequins flats for the reception.

your title cracked me up!
mr. c has no clue what he’s doing - attire, bachelor party, gm gifts - nothing. i know he’ll get to it, but he’s starting to make me a bit nervous!

Our guys wore Chucks. It was awesome. The groomsmen wore blue and my groom wore bright pink. Loved it so much.

LOL - I love the Chuck Norris reference. :D Chucks are fab, and this post reminds me that I haven’t thought about what our guys will be wearing. I’ll probably default to the standard black dress shoe!

Those look super cool! We are still so behind on that, but as there will not be any wedding party our work is more simple (uhm I hope)
