Pete Wentz is a hopeless romantic. Petey-poo has commissioned artist Nathan Sawaya to create a ginormous bumble bee out of legos as a wedding gift for his new wife, Ashlee Simpson. The bee-licous creations measures 26″ x 47″ x 36″ and is made from about 18,000 standard Lego bricks.

“I was commissioned to create a bee,” Sawaya recently blogged on his website. “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,” Sawaya continues. “They are a fun couple as evidenced by their Alice in Wonderland themed wedding. And didn’t Alice think she saw a bee in Through the Looking Glass? (Incidentally, she thought they were bees, but they turned out to be elephants. Alice wasn’t the brightest child.)”
The BB (big bee) took a week to create and Ashlee should be taking delivery in early June. No word on how much Pete had to cough up for this gift. How much does $18,000 legos run these days?
