Tux Down
I had a second appointment on Monday to try on a few different styles of tuxedos. This was a good idea. Both Mary and I ended up really liking one of the new ones that I tried on and we decided to go with Formally Modern Tuxedos. Of course, you'll have to wait until September 27th to see what we picked, but we're pretty happy with our choices. If you're a groomsman, usher or father, time to get measured up! I've already sent emails out to everyone, and opted to BCC all the significant others to make sure the guys take care of business. Better safe than sorry :)
Also, while the tux selection process was fairly simple, there is definitely some advice I have for the guys that has absolutely nothing to do with style. The first time we went, it was a night after work when we were running around trying to take care of all kinds of wedding things. I was a little hot and sticky and not feeling particularly dapper. I was also in desparate need of a haircut and shave. Although the tuxes I tried on were nice, it was hard to get a good feeling for any of them.
The second night we went out, I was fresh from a haircut, shower and shave. It really made a huge difference in trying things on. Not only did I feel clean and fresh from my shower, but being recently groomed helped me get a better idea of how I might look on our actual wedding day. So, my advice to all you future grooms out there (that's you Jay and Ken), whatever you consider to be your style, go to try on tuxes after a recent haircut, shower and shave!
