Actium Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 So I finally reserved the tuxes for the wedding, which is to take place on Feb 7, unless my betrothed comes to her senses before then. My groomsmen are going to wear the standard dinner jackets, with red waistcoats and red bowties. For myself I chose white tie full dress (I just learned about all these terms sadly), consisting of the tailcoat, white waistcoat and white bowtie. It looks something like this: [img]http://www.mossbros.co.uk/hire/classic/images/white_tie_tails.jpg[/img] I'm also going to buy a collapsible satin top hat: [img]http://www.millerhats.com/productimages/044.gif[/img] So I am reading up on everything and learned that white tie is considered appropriate for only after 6:00PM, whereas our wedding is at 4. I was supposed to get a morning suit tuxedo like so: [img]http://www.frankcasey.co.nz/images/suit_morning_00.jpg[/img] Also all the groomsmen are supposed to be the same dress code as me. But you know what--it doesn't matter. Because it's going to be awesome. I just hope I can pull off the ultra-formal look, even as while committing a legion of etiquette errors.

|Bunghole| Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 Come midnight you won't be wearing any of that anyway! Good luck with marriage, it's definetely been a mixed bag for me (gained a life partner, mother of children, lost my penis and freedom, etc).

What happens? Do you mean I get to hug her? I am looking forward to it. We are already basically an old married couple, so I am pleased to make it all legal.

|Bunghole| Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 I really like the top hat. You need to get a black walking stick (or barring that, a magician's wand to tap on the hat before you collapse it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to cross the line from "Dapper Dan" to "Danton to Magnificent" or "Mr. Peanut." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I would be down with dressing up like a warlock or a Dark Elf Necromancer and having a Fantasy-themed wedding. Oh yeah, that's what every lady dreams of.

Actium Posted December 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 This is a fascinating look at dress code etiquette, which I intend to flout but am nonetheless enthralled by: [url="http://www.blacktieguide.com/Introduction/1_Appeal.htm"]http://www.blacktieguide.com/Introduction/1_Appeal.htm[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
