Tuxedos, yo!

Posted April 17, 2005, 8:07 p.m.

One of my last straggling big wedding to-dos is done. This afternoon, I reserved my tux and the groomsmen tuxes at Men’s Wearhouse. Hooray.

The tuxes for me and the groomsmen are largely the same, except that mine has a winged collar on the shirt and a ‘European’ style tie (looks like a regular tie, not a bow tie) while the groomsmen have a banded collar with a button cover at the neck (no tie).

Pictures (ripped from the Men’s Wearhouse website and adjusted as necessary) are on the Wedding Website’s Photos Page.
