tuxes or suits?!


Wow, it's been a while since i've had a chance to even take a moment..  work has been pretty busy, so wedding stuff has been placed on hold for a bit..  chuongy and i finally got a chance to go check out some places for groom attire.. he would like to do this the very last minute, but i prefer to get whatever we need to do done.. so, after much nagging, he found time to go check out tuxes and suits for the wedding.. since we were babysitting ethan, it was perfect timing to bring him along to look at tuxes/suits for our cute ring bearer..  it was sooo funny trying to explain to him what we were doing and what a ring bearer was.. i just told lil ethan that he holds the rings that will bring uncle chuongy and auntie joyce together.. he took it seriously and it was soo cute.. so, off we went to men's wearhouse first.. to my huge surprise, they had nothing!!  literally 6 dark colored tux jackets to try on and 3 light colored ones on a manequinn display that's not even reachable.. in addition, their prices were more expensive.. to top it off, they bounced us from one sales rep to another sales rep and then to a consultant who was just pointed to us towards a short rack of suits that would be chuongy's size..  it was def. disappointing..  finally, chuongy mentioned a place on 4th ave., called selix.. after we dropped off the lil guy, chuongy and i went to selix.. to my huge surprise, this little store had a lot more selections for tux rentals to try on, a much more helpful sales rep and a better price package then men's warehouse..  with much luck, chuongy was able to pick out an off white tux set and shoes.. now all we need is for the bridesmaid dress to deliver and bring it in to color match with the tie and vest and we're completely set..
