Mrs. Hippo's Picture
Mrs. Hippo, New York City/Dallas, TX Age and Occupation: 34, Event Planner for a Non-Profit Fiance's Age and Occupation: 35, Finance IT Engagement Date: August 8, 2009 Wedding Date: March 2011 Venue: Samuel Lynne Galleries and Marc Events About Me: I’m a thirty-something bride living in New York City and planning a modern-ish wedding in Dallas, Texas. I love trashy reality television (Jersey Shore, anyone?), online shopping, Sunday brunch, Central Park, and random celebrity spottings on the streets of Manhattan. While I love NYC, I miss good Tex-Mex, my college friends, central A/C, and being in close proximity to a Target. I’m thrilled to finally be planning an event that’s not work-related and to be marrying my best friend in what I hope will be a unique and personal ceremony followed by a reception with plenty of good food, good drinks, and dancing (regardless if it’s good or not).
About Mrs. Hippo

While I was hanging out with the ladies, getting ready and having photos taken, King Hippo and his guys were doing much of the same… although it took them a minute and a half (give or take) to get ready. Totally not fair. Each of the guys wore matching navy blue ties and navy and yellow argyle socks that we gifted them along with their own black suits.

(Disclaimer: King Hippo thinks he looks horrible in all of these pictures, but I think he looks adorable, so I’m blogging them. Carry on.)

All the flowers for the wedding had been delivered to the suite the ladies were getting ready in, so one of the bridesmaids delivered the boutonnières to the guys’ suite. Little did I know, it quickly became a stressful situation. I love the looks on the guys faces as they attempt to help each other with the boutonnières. Such concentration!

As soon as the guys were dressed, they headed down to the hotel lobby to shoot some pics of their own. King Hippo took some solo photos, followed by him with his groomsmen both inside and outside the hotel. There were, of course, some shenanigans along the way.

@Iris: You remembered! Thank goodness we found that last tie. I think the guy’s “look” turned out really nice!

@PinkDaisy: @pookiepie:They are Ralph Lauren Polo socks, and we got them at Nordstroms in NYC. I just did a quick search and found them online here: http://www.joyofsocks.com/products/Soft-Yellow-Polo-Casual-Argyle-Socks-%28Men%27s%29.html
