Pete Wentz commissioned an artist to build a huge bumblebee out of Lego as a wedding day treat for his new wife Ashlee Simpson.

The Fall Out Boy rocker asked Nathan Sawaya to make the symbolic creature out of 18,000 Lego bricks.

Sawaya tells E!online.com, “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.
“They are a fun couple as evidenced by their Alice in Wonderland-themed wedding.”

The couple, who wed in Encino, California on May 17th, has just confirmed Simpson is pregnant with her first child.

It’s not like it was a big secret or anything, right?

Newlyweds Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz have confirmed they are expecting their first child.

The couple has been dogged by pregnancy rumors for weeks, but refused to confirm the news until now.

Wentz announced his new wife is pregnant by writing on his website, “While many have speculated about this, we wanted to wait until after the first trimester to officially confirm that we are expecting our first child. This is truly the most joyous time in our lives and we are excited to share the happy news and start our family.”

The pair wed in Encino, California earlier this month.

Newly married Ashlee Simpson is changing her name to Ashlee Wentz in honor of her husband, Fall Out Boy Pete Wentz.

“I think that that’s something that a woman should do when they’re marrying a man,” she tells PEOPLE. “It’s a tradition that I think is a great tradition.”

The singer, whose May 17 wedding featured an Alice in Wonderland-themed reception, says that privately she’ll go by Ashlee Wentz and professionally she’ll be Ashlee Simpson-Wentz.

Pete Wentz says he left the name change decision to his wife. “These decisions with Ashlee and her name are all completely up to Ashlee,” Wentz says. “I want her to do these kinds of things the way she wants to do them.”

Still, he admits, he was flattered. “Oh man, I was like upgrade me! You know what I’m saying? The Wentz family, our Christmas card just got upgraded!” he says. “It feels insane. It feels unreal.”
