Thread Name: BS: AAAARGH! I gotta wear a tux!
Subject: RE: BS: AAAARGH! I gotta wear a tux!
WESLEY! geesh - can't I have a little support here?

okay - notes to myself - buy a dress shirt before the fitting. wait! I don't have to! I have the new one I bought for Dickens festival last year and never wore....*sigh* white dress shirt. shades of the ten years I had to wear white shirts as a cook. Hated them then, hate them now. Kim is gonna OWE me big time.

What's a dress shoe? (I own 1 pair of shoes. of course I will be renting the shoe w/ the Tux.)

of course rental on the tuxes - I know "experts" say buy - but since the last time I was even in a suit coat was for CelticSoul's wedding two (three?) years ago What are the chances I'll ever need to wear a tux again?

Or did I skip the coat and just wear the tie for that. I don't remember. I know it was only one or the other. The last time I wore BOTH was for another wedding a couple years before that - and only because both bride and groom were friends.

Jeff - there's a reason beyond cost that I wear peasant garb....*grin*

Of course - My sister's idea at first was that I should be in full ren-garb for the ceremony (I nixed that in the bud)

HOpefully the rental place will be able to fit me. I've got the legs of a dwarf and the arms of an orangutang. (Seriously - finding "off the rack" stuff with a SHORT enough inseam or LONG enough sleeve is a major pain for me. That's *IF* I can find the waist or neck size needed in the first place. Shoes I can always fudge by going up a size or two to get the width I need.)


[whinge mode on] But I don' wanna wear a tie! Bow ties are Dorkie! The shoes pinch my toes. Not to mention it'll be HOT! {whinge mode off]
