The Outfits

OK, so I've had my dress since November, and now that I've bought my shoes, my outfit is done. I even know how I'm doing my hair. Mwaha!

Monday night we finally made our way to the tuxedo shop to pick out what our guys are going to wear. We found a beautiful black three buttoned jacket that looks amazing with the marine vests. We picked a traditional collared ivory shirt and an ivory pocket square to pull all the wedding colors together. As for shoes, we're going with basic black for the guys. It makes everything much easier in the long run.

I just wonder one thing about my trip to the tuxedo shop: WHO WEARS WING TIPPED COLLARS? They looked so...silly! Then again, I'm a strange one, I suppose.

So, we're fully running with the ivory and marine theme, and here we are. The outfits are picked. Done, finally. One more thing to knock off my list.

Sunday is my meeting with a potential officiant. If meeting her in person is anything like chatting with her via email and phone, I will be a happy happy woman. Monday afternoon I'm meeting with a cake designer, now that I've found one who works in our price range AND whose designs I've liked thus far. I'm unbelievably excited that things are finally falling in to place like they're supposed to.

So, all that's left is to beat the groomsmen into going to get fitted, and for my delightful hubby-to-be to pick one of his groomsmen as a best man. I've agreed to just deal and let his best friend do it, but he doesn't seem to trust his best friend with the whole toasting thing. One dilemma after another with us, I swear.

That's all I've got for now. Hopefully I won't be as neglectful with this in the future. God knows I'm going to need to rant and my poor MOH can't handle all of my rants on top of her ER schedule :-D
