Pete Wentz isn’t your everyday type of guy so it should come as no surprise that his wedding gift to wife Ashlee Simpson is anything but common. Pete hired artist Nathan Sawaya to make a giant bumblebee made of Lego bricks for his wife. The bee measures 26” x 47” by 36” and is made from around 18,000 bricks. Nathan commented on the project saying “Why a bee? Because it is romantic of course. In Hindu myth, Kama, the god of love, has a bow and arrows, and the bow string is made up of bees. In the ancient Greek world the bee symbolized the soul because they migrated in swarms. And the Roman god of love, Cupid, is often pictured with bees or being stung. I made this bee for a boy who wanted to give his girl a special wedding gift.”
