@greg: Oops, lol I get lazy and forget to post. I'll be sure to remember to do it next time lol (I wear the same stuff anyways in different variations)
@Jeff: Sweet, I see you got that perfect quarter inch going on with your cuffs! A nice white pocket square would make you look even more polished.
I'm wearing that blue and white Merona pocket square that half of this forum has. It's just hard to see. I agree that white would look better though. I have a white pocket square somewhere, just have to find it.
@Techno
Jacket is the one featured here, but in light blue:
I was looking at your mom! Alan - where's the pic of today's polo and shorts from the anniversary outing? Just leaving JC & I hanging. Just kidding - looked like you had a good day out and about.
The belt/laces work really well together. Right after this pic, though, I switched over to the regular lacing pattern because straight lacing gets too busy underneath and started to hurt my instep.
Really the only thing I didn't like about the outfit was the floppy shirt. Without a placket, it just doesn't stand up very well. The Wurkin Stiffs were barely holding it together.
JC - I need to keep my eyes peeled for a DB blazer!
I'll start by just pointing out the obvious. I'm wearing a white bow tie and vest. It's not traditional, and I know it. My twin brother was the best man, and it was already hard enough differentiating us. Now that that's out of the way...
The groomsmen were all wearing virtually the same thing as me except in black. All the ushers already owned black suits so I instructed them to wear those, and then I provided them with black neckties.
And the last pic doesn't show much, but it's cool so I had to throw it in. The get-away car...
The tux was a rental, and it fit awful. The dude tried to put me into a 42R. It was too big. So he had me try on a 41R... Still too big. The 40R was as close as it was going to come, but it ended up being huge in the shoulders and I formed an "X" at the front button - likely because it was a single button with such a low stance. Lastly, double vents fit me best, and this one was single vented. The ONLY place it fit right was the chest. My next tux won't be a rental...
If the scenery looks familiar, it's because we both took the day off from work and celebrated our one-year anniversary by going back to the Dallas World Aquarium where we had our wedding reception.
The color doesn't show properly, but the shorts are blue/white seersucker.
