The wife (I am allowed to call her this because I am practising) and I met with a potential photographer today. She seemed nice. However, she made a galling insinuation that I should have 'sorted' my suit by now.
The wedding is at the end of October. It is not yet February. At the moment, I only have a vague idea that I'll be wearing a suit at all. Perhaps it will be grey? Who knows? All I can say for certain is that I don't want to wear a silly hat, despite my penchant for them.
(If this seems odd, I'm quite fond of fancy pants too, though I always pike out of wearing them as well, so at least I'm consistent.)
Is a wedding suit different from other suits or does it just cost more?

Hello & blah blah
Hello,
"Why am I writing a blog?" I might ask myself. Well, I'll tell you, me. In almost 9 months' time, I'll be getting married. Having successfully proposed this marriage to the greatest girl (living or dead) of the cosmos, I'm awestruck at just how much planning and thought needs to go into this party. At least, how much I'll need to do to make myself remain a good groom prospect.
Usually, my default setting is to expend as little energy as possible - take that, global warming! After all, things usually work out all right in the end and there's no need to worry about anything. The problem is, this time, that I don't want my wedding to be just all right. I want it to be flipping spectacular.
I figure, if I write about the various things I have to decide, create, invite or pay for, it'll make the decision-making process a little easier. Comparing choices on screen, rather than running them through my cluttered mind, should hopefully clarify which are the awful options and which are the grand ones, or at least which ones are worth doing.
Also, perhaps I could use you lot as advisors? Who has better, more reliable free advice than the internet? What do you say? Brilliant! It's a deal. As per Plato, your silence gives consent. Let's hop to it, then.
Questions, musing, etc to come. The soon-to-be wife has nipped off to see Shakespeare in the Park, so I can take a well-deserved break from this planning caper.
