Let's talk suits, shall we?

Okidoki, Alex here, time to also throw in my ten cents after Kaori's been doing all the hard blogging labor (by the way, isn't she doing a tremendous job? Please put your hands together, ladies & gentlemen, and give it up for the best fiancé in the woooorld!).

Kaori's scratched the 'groom suit' issue before, and...ehem...I'm loving it so far! :) No seriously, we've received some nasty funny comments regarding my initial desire to sport the baby blue prom tux, but I'm actually long over that, really. No hard feelings. Instead, I've really warmed up with the light gray summer suit, three piece sans the blazer. Nice slim cut though - not your average American power suit with the wide shoulders, puffy legs, pleaded trousers and isht.

Here's a good one I saw at our friends at J.Crew:

Fine-stripe cotton suit from J.Crew

We recently heard the comment that this would make me look like Pee-Wee which I took as a HUGE compliment because that's EXACTLY what I was shooting for! :) Love the skinny legs, 2-button blazer and bow tie!

For all my non-American friends: Mr. Pee-Wee Herman

Concluding my post, here a couple o' couples who are doing it right (in terms of light gray suit elements with white shirt, rolled up sleeves, and yellow tie):

Both via Green Wedding Shoes: left & right

Gentleman, it will be a fun suit day on August 7, so give your own closet a second opinion, say yes to color - or consult your local Goodwill for last century's prom tuxes in your size...I sure wouldn't mind. ;)

Love his shoes!! (okay, her shoes are nice, too) via Once Wed

Sorry to all my German readers (hi mom!) that there won't be a translation of the post into my mother tongue like Kaori always uses doing so - I hope you get the point. :)

As to my Japanese readers (hi Akiko!), let's give this a try...clearthroat: 紳士服は、お尻を右に収まるに来る。光やベビーブルーグレー - 両方の罰金です。限り、あなたのパンツのいくつかの種類を着用する。ありがとうございました。 >^..^<

Go Minis

For casual weddings like ours, mini dresses might be great, too.

ちょっとミニドレスもいいなぁと思ったりして。
カジュアルウェディングにはこんな感じも合うと思うんだけど、どうでしょーか？
