The Tuxedo Whether you’re looking at a six button, doublebreasted jacket with pleated slacks, or a cutaway jacket with a wing shirt, you have to look slick. You can consider renting your tux for the day and most places will offer all the trimmings that the other men in your party need, even for the page boys.
Wedding Vows Writing your own wedding vows is the kind of gesture that your lucky lady will really appreciate. The traditional speech is a classic one, but you should try to add some spice and creative vocabulary to personalise and fill it with meaning. This will make it that extra bit special. Try to really make it your own. Getting married is a huge step in the journey of any couple and it’s also a great event for any family to experience. Therefore enjoy the experience and take it all in your stride. Nothing runs smoothly, so allow room for some little mistakes to happen. Thinking everything will run perfectly and smoothly is a bit of a high risk, so when
only the minimal goes wrong it won’t be so bad and the day will
be remembered by all. Remember, you are only limited by your
imagination, so think of creative ways to make your wedding
special and different from the rest! Have a spring wedding!
