It's about time!

PeanutThomas · July 2012

Well, FI finally got his tux ordered! Sheesh, finally! Of course when he comes home he's all smug about the fact that the people at Men's Wearhouse told him he basically could have waited to do it until the week of the wedding. Sigh. Anybody else have a groom who is totally blasé about everything while you're going "HOLY CRAP WE'RE ONLY LIKE A MONTH AWAY SO MUCH TO DO PANIC PANIC PANIC"??

haha...yes! Thankfully, FI's been pretty good about doing things on time, but he's also been pretty consistent with reminding me how much stuff I have left to get done!
The other day he said something like, "Let me know now if there's anything I need to do the week of the wedding, otherwise I'll be gone spending time with my out of town buddies." I was a little put off at first, but it makes sense! We have everything we need done and he's going to use his free time to entertain OOT guests who he never has the opportunity to see...plus he did offer anything! My biggest fear is that they have a golf outing planned the day before the wedding (in lieu of a typical bachelor party) and none of them believe in sunscreen! Glad to hear the tuxes are ready to go!

Hello. I got a call from my bridesmaid the other day after her husband and kids were fitted. She said, everyone has been fitted but the groom. So...the very next day he and I went in and got him fitted. He's been busy as he is a firefighter and Colorado has been on fire. Luckily, it all came together and now were are just working out all the last minute details like decorations. Totally relate! Alli

Oh yes, mine has done nothing yet! NOTHING!! We are 5 weeks out, he is still undecided about one guy, first hes best friends with him and then the next week, not..its so childish! Im not sure if my ring has been ordered or bought, he showed a pic to my mom like 3 weeks ago...He still needs to talk to the officiant, we need our marriage license and he has a $92 balance on the bouts and his Moms corsage...If my Mom gives him a reminder, he replies, I know and then another week goes by...geez!!

colstj1 · July 2012

Haha We are the same way. I am cramming and trying to get little details done. He was in charged of getting his guys fitted and slowly one by one they are going in. He seems so relaxed about it while I panic.

PeanutThomas · July 2012

Good to know I'm not the only one! FI may not have cold feet, but he sure does have slow feet.

Good luck with your grooms, ladies!

In a word, yes. I'm not even sure he knows we're getting married next month

Really but they didn't mention the rush charge you would get. I was told for mine they had to get fitted 2 weeks before to avoid the rush fees.

I totally knowwhat you mean! FI has his suit, but he still needs his shirt and tie

We went to mens wearhouse yesterday to pick of FI suit. I am so glad we have 5 weeks till the wedding cause they did a terrible job tailoring it. The whole jacket has to be taken apart.

Oh NO!! That sucks so much! :( I had a similar issue with my dress (ugh), so I'm thanking my lucky stars that we have a few weeks of wiggle room. I hope your FI's suit fits him perfectly by the time your special day arrives!

I have been very lucky, when I have told my FI something had to get done he did it. Maybe not that very second but within 2 days he had it done. I usually say, Now don't forget you need to do..... He will respond, I know. Then when I ask a day or two later it's been done.

It's about time!
