In Which Is Discussion on Wedding Attire
I have ideas for what I want to wear for my wedding. I'm pretty sure that I want to wear a wing collared shirt with a black bow tie; they're a simple, smart and elegant choice. Also, a waistcoat or cummerbund would be appropriate and classy. However, the suiting options are what are bogging me down.
At the top of the list of my ideas are the black suit and the tuxedo, either probably made by Thick as Theives. A black suit is the more practical of the two, it can be worn to other occasions and can be adapted well into everyday wear. The tuxedo is a smarter choice, it being a wedding and all, and I'd like to look quite fancy.
However, I have concerns about these, mostly what kind of weather we might have next May. I could certainly get both of these made in a lightweight wool, which would be cool enough to wear in the wedding. But, black generally isn't something worn outside in late spring and early summer. I could opt for a grey suit, and change the bow tie to purple, if I can find it.
Another option, one that has been argued against, but my mind still entertains and it has been advocated by others, would be a kilt. It would be fun, and I like the way that kilts look. But I don't know the Scots history of my family enough to go with the idea; the immigrants had too common a first name to follow back to Scotland.
This great indecision is bothering me, and probably bothering Sums as well.
