Updates and discussions that make me tick
I’m 81 days away from my wedding right now.
Yesterday I ordered our ketubah, complete with personalization. It looks like this:
It is so exciting to actually check something OFF of my To-Do list! I feel like I have a huge thing taken care of. Now, if only we could get the men’s clothing sorted out.
Our bridal party is small, consisting of a father of the bride, a father of the groom, a groom, a best-man (brother of groom) and brother of the bride. However, the brother of the bride is flying in from Europe to attend and can’t on last minute notice get a tuxedo, so he is fine in a suit or dress pants and a sport-coat. Now! The “issue” that causes me to start ticking my head and breathing at unnatural rates is whether or not all the men will wear the same, a black tuxedo and a vest of my choosing? Or, will the father’s be in all-black and white tuxedos and the groom and best-man will wear the special vest? I’m not too up to date on modern men’s wear. Meanwhile, my brother-in-law is still trying to convince me that they should all wear a Jcrew or Gap linen suit. I’m not opposed, but it means more schlepping and more coordinating.
I’ve searched all over for pictures of weddings where men did not wear tuxedos and all I see are black suits, (Bah.) and tan suits with leather flip-flops for beach weddings. Seeing as how I have a country club wedding, I think a suit is the lowest we can go on the scale of men’s formal wear.
I really like these options, but I’m not sure they go with the setting.
