We’ve taken some time over the past three weeks to scout around for the men’s attire for the wedding. One of the perks to marrying someone whose spent the last 45 years as a student is that they conduct a vast amount of research during the normal course of their professional life and it naturally extends to their personal interests. We never walk out the door on a project without Bethany knowing 95% of what her vision will be for each topic and as a result we have efficient visits to our vendors without wasting time.
From my standpoint, I’m a simple guy when it comes to clothing and don’t really look to keep up on the latest styles. My rule for the tuxedo came down to I am not going to wear anything I’m not comfortable in or will be embarrassed to look at pictures of in three years. Bethany does not want the traditional James Bond tuxedo as we set a goal to find something different, but not over the top while also trying to locate a comfortable material for a warm summer day. I assume all reading this can correctly deduce the perfect suit would be one covered in ???? the eccentric guy on TV wears to hawk some book about scamming the government out of money.
We headed out a few Sundays ago with a plan and our first stop at an unnamed vendor did not go so well. For starters, the sales person and myself did not get along as he apparently had dealt with a few too many spoiled, bossy brides so he assumed they all fell into this category as he informed me I would have no say in what I could choose. The meeting’s highlight occurred when the two of us almost came to blows over wearing pink. Aside from us not getting along they really didn’t have the style we wanted so we made headed back to the Internet for more assistance.
Our second stop in Harvard Square went very well and was conducted in a much more professional manner. We found exactly the style we hade been looking for and after a week of living on saltines and crack, I finally felt comfortable with my body to make my modeling debut. Everything looked great and we celebrated crossing yet another item off the list with coffee milk shakes and hamburgers. Sorry folks, we’re saving our choice for the day of the wedding so you’re going to have to wait a few more months to view our selection.
On a final note, I recommend viewing the actual vest you may be wearing after being turned off by some of the smaller swatches of material. I found I appreciated some of them better once I viewed them as a full pattern as opposed to a tiny 2 by 3 inch scrap of cloth.
