My idea of elegant groom's attire is formal highland wear (see google images). Naturally, Carrie was less than thrilled by the idea of her groom wearing a dress. Needless to say, my dream of wearing a formal kilt was quickly shot out of the sky.
When we found ourselves in need of tux rentals, the first place that came to mind was of course, Mens Warehouse. Our visit was a little less than awesome, I'd rather spend an entire day candle shopping at Wal-Mart than try to set up tux rentals with the mongrel employees at Mens Warehouse. The selection was quite limited, pretty much black, white, fluffy, poofy and shiny then you have the option of a colored bow tie or skinny tie.
Carrie was envisioning a dressy three piece suit in gray tones as opposed a traditional black and white tux.
Our search led us to Joseph A. Bank Clothiers. We were quite pleased with the friendly staff and large selection. Without too much pain we decided on a Calvin Klein two button slate gray tux with a pleated shirt and flat front slacks. I'll have a "some shade of white" vest and bow tie to match Carrie's amazing dress. The groomsmen will be wearing the same tux but with a celadon vest and bow tie to match the bridesmaid's dresses.
The bottom line is this, we will look awesome. Can't wait to see you there.
