Tux Shopping!

On Sunday afternoon, following a glorious lunch at Pasta Moon in Half Moon Bay with Todd's parents, we all drove over to the Men's Wearhouse in Daly City ( just across the parking lot from a David's Bridal - imagine the convenience for David's brides and Men's Wearhouse grooms!).  

It was pretty busy inside but a very friendly saleswoman came over and helped us page through the quite large selection of suits.  We also looked at multiple colors of vest swatches.  Now, I'm going to be honest: there were a couple of - erm - disagreements - about various aspects of the attire, but in the end, we all were very happy with the choices made.

First up:  Todd.  As the groom, he'll be wearing a silver checked vest and tie in order to stand-out from the groomsmen.

The groomsmen will be wearing mid-blue checked vests and ties.


And the fathers will be wearing black vests and ties.  

Below is a photo of all three colors together.


As for the suiting, Todd will wear a Jones New York (or Kenneth Cole; can't remember which we chose, but they're virtually identical) three-button tuxedo.  In my humble and completely unbiased opinion, he looks quite dashing!


I can't wait to see "the look" all put together!

Ooo I think our weddings will be similar in many small, interesting ways. We seem to have the same taste in details like this! Even though the colors will be different, the idea's the same: the groom stands out, the men wear the wedding color, and fathers wear black. James will be wearing an ivory vest/tie, and his men will be wearing pink vests and ties. The fathers will be wearing black.
