Mrs. Earrings's Picture
Mrs. Earrings, Fresno, CA/ Nelson, New Zealand Age and Occupation: 20, Student, Wannabe Writer Fiance's Age and Occupation: 19, Photography Student Engagement Date: February 14, 2010 Wedding Date: January 2011 Venue: Gardens of the World About Me: I'm a girl from down under who grew up in Indonesia and I'm marrying a California boy. I'm addicted to all things sweet, have never met a chocolate silk pie than can get the better of me, and have dreams of one day being a fulltime novelist. I go weak in the knees for lace, tea cups, and a beautifully crafted sentence. When I get excited about something (whether it is historical linguistics or the Beatles) I tend to go overboard in research, and planning this wedding is no different. Mr. Earrings is my high school sweetheart, my best friend, and somehow we combine all our quirks into one big happy mess.

A Midsummer Dream: The Groom Suits Up  :  wedding new zealand pictures pro pics recap 12 1

While the bride got ready in a mansion, the groom got ready in a caravan! Actually first, like Mr. Cardigan, he spent the morning setting up our reception space. Knowing he was in charge of that part of the day put me so much at ease. And then it took him about 30 mins (max) to shower and get ready, as opposed to the eternity it took me…lucky!

He very much enjoyed sporting the cufflinks from Etsy seller dabbledesigns. And you might notice that we didn’t go with the grey suit as planned…in the end, a black suit with charcoal pinstripes was the one he set his heart on.

He loved the pocket watch I gifted him, as well as an initialled handkerchief for his pocket and Kouros cologne.

I’m so glad Mr E chose to wear Chucks on the day. He wears them all the time now; they are a great reminder of our wedding. His mum had some pretty hot shoes herself: she painted the wedge green to go with her dress!

In no time at all, it was time for Mr E and I to meet. His watch snuck in a final glamour shot….

I love the picture of Mr. E standing, waiting for you with a bouquet of flowers. It is so sweet and paints the story of anticipation well.

He looks absolutely giddy with anticipation! Very stylish “groom getting ready” pics. I think Mr. PaC will be helping set up the morning of too.
