Shocking

The first of the guys to get measured for the tuxedos are the last I expected...my brothers. I believe it is due to Jackie but I have been wrong before. Just the one time.

Puttin' on the ritz

Last night B and GM John went to look and pick out tuxedos (and then came home and watched the DVR'ed Mets game while eating Anna's). I was glad because we had many to-do items with exclamation points in front of them because they needed to get done right away and more than half had to do with the groom thinking or picking out the day's outfit. So I was so happy to go and check off FOUR items last night. And I am glad that B has picked out his outfits and both he and GM John have told me I will like it. And I am trusting them because what they described sounds nice. I am sure B will look great in whatever he wears.

Hint on what he is wearing: It is black.

Menswear

We had looked into a few tuxedo chains (needed for tux rental in Boston, Long Island and Brooklyn) for the guys and we thought we were going with Men's Wearhouse because they have a store in Medford (for B and John), Lake Grove (for Richie and Billy) and Brooklyn (for Gerard, Christopher and B's dad). But we definitely decided to go with them after we got a coupon for $20 off each tuxedo rental and free groom's rental.

What is also really great about Men's Wearhouse (or MW Tux - I think that is what they are calling the tuxedo aspect of the business) is that we can pick up the tuxedo in Boston and then return it in Brooklyn. So we don't have to worry about getting B's tux back to Boston. Also you can create a event and B can pick out everything here and then the other guys just have to go to their local store and give them the event name and everything will be lined up for them.

Easy as pie. I hope.
