or: how to embarrass your fiance and his best man while they look at tux options
This weekend, Mr. Pencils' best man A was home from law school and they took advantage of the opportunity to scout some tuxes for their bods. Funnily enough, these guys have been discussing and planning this little outing for a month now. It's so interesting to watch these guys take all this wedding stuff so seriously- I love it (and them!)
Not so funnily enough, there are only two places that rent suites in the greater DC/MD area. And, being guys, they did put off scheduling the actual day and time for the tux trip, so we ended up going on Sunday- which meant that one of the two tux shops was closed (for Sunday) so we adventured out to one. Luckily, Mr. Pencils liked what this place turned up!
To set the scene, imagine the look Mr. P and I both had settled upon for the gents:

to be paired with this for the groom's people:
and this for Mr. Pencils:
With these handy dandy mental images, we trekked to our local Men's Wearhouse. This is where the fun embarrassment of Mr. Pencils and Best Man A began. They humored me with photos as they perused the many options of jackets and vests:
Men's Wearhouse only had one brown tux and no khaki suit...it seems that most general tux rental stores don't really carry khaki suits. Being the tux novices we are, we had no clue. Oh well! The brown tux looked hot!
He gave me his cheesiest smile and then his dashing self:
We tried to see what the jacket would look like with a green tie. They only had striped ones, so we grabbed the one that seemed most similar to what we'd want. It didn't show up very well in photos, but here ya go!
They yellow groomsman tie looks wicked awesome though!
See how much they love me? They even did the "jacket put on" photo again just for me- including ridic smiles!
And even posed patiently, and dorkily, for me as I snapped every.little.thing:
Mr. Pencils has really taken the reign on these attire options- he asks me for my opinion and we usually do decide together, but overall, he has the final say. It seems fair given that this is exactly how we chose my wedding dress- only then, I had the final say!
Did your fiance choose his wedding clothes? What will he be wearing?
