Puttin' on the Ritz

So the boys are all squared away. We weren't sure what they were going to wear for a while. We went back and forth: suit or tux? brown or black? vest or no vest? bow tie or straight tie? what color tie?

Armed with a color swatch for the girls' dresses, we headed off to Men's Wearhouse. Our sales consultant was very patient and guided us through the process of trying on tuxes. I thought Wayne looked exceptionally cute in all of them, but ultimately he decided that he liked the chocolate brown tux.
