We all know that weddings surround the women, their dresses and how they look. No one really mentions the men. Let me tell you – they want to look just as good as the women do. I wasn’t able to go on the tuxedo adventure that my fiancé and his groomsmen had because I was stuck here at school, though, he did tell me about it. They went to Men’s Warehouse store in the Columbia Mall in Columbia, MD. I told him that I wanted him and his groomsmen to wear chocolate brown suits but the color of the vests and accessories were up to them.
So here’s his side of the story:
“A group of guys going into to pick out the style, colors, accessories and get fitted. What an experience. First, all the guys needed to fill out the paper work with the wedding date, address and all the other info that they need. Then, everyone gets their turn getting fitted. It was like a whirlwind – try this size on, how does that fit – too tight, too loose…..how about this tux? After getting everyone fitted, now came the fun part. Picking out all the stuff we needed. Who knew there were sooooo many choices, colors and accessories? We already knew we were going with chocolate tuxes so that took care of the pants and jacket. Did we want plain shirts or with pleats? We went with the plain style. Now what color vest? We had to consider the colors my fiancée picked out for the wedding. Which color green will match the wedding colors better? Then we found that most of the vests had different patterns. Decisions, decisions. Then, we moved onto accessories. We just went with plain silver after looking at about a dozen different styles. Finally after a couple of hours, everything was done. All we needed to do was pay. Thank goodness for my parents – they took care of my suit, while the groomsmen had to pay for theirs. We thought we were done but there was still one more problem. One of my groomsmen is out of state. Not a problem. Men’s Warehouse allows anyone to get fitted at any of their stores nationwide. So the boys are done, just need to pick them up and try not to destroy them.”
