Mrs. Poodle, Santiago, Chile/San Bernardino, CA Age and Occupation: 27, Industrial & Web Designer Fiance's Age and Occupation: 24, Firefighter & Mountain Patrol Engagement Date: February 25, 2009 Wedding Date: January 2010 Venue: Mr. P's Grandparents’ Ranch About Me: I’m a Chilean girl who's crazy about nature and swimming. I enjoy carving, drawing, reading and sewing; I drool over computers, fabric, pretty paper, purple and patterns. To me, chocolate should be one of the seven wonders, right next to lemon pie. I never thought an exchange work experience program was going to change my life forever, but while working in California, I met Mr. Poodle, and ever since my days are better and brighter. We are two goofy souls that, after finding each other, couldn’t help but want to be together forever. It has being a long and sometimes hard road, since we have to deal with such a long distance between us, but we are now facing the last stage of our Fiancé Visa, and soon we will be together. You know the best part? We will be married! So I’ll be blogging from Chile until just a few months before our “green and purple” wedding.

Styling the Groom

August 7th, 2009 @ 2:43 pm by Mrs. Poodle

Of course I know Mr. Poodle knows how to dress himself, but I also know that he appreciates the picture ideas I’ve sent him and he does likes my ideas - most of the time.

Because of the nature of our wedding, even from the beginning, I never felt comfortable with the black tux idea or having a long train on my dress. So I started to search through several blogs and websites for pictures. After a quick search, I found the great OnceWed . At that time the site had no “groom” gallery” like they do now (thank you Emily!!!). The search is sooo much easier now. Of course, after I ran into Green Wedding Shoes, I also loved all their articles dedicated to grooms.

There are several ideas I really like for a casual groom, and here are some example pictures: The vest, suspenders (not sure If Mr. Poodle would like those, though), Converse shoes, a great hat, and of course, cool-looking socks.
