Wedding Planning – Time to Choose the Tux

It’s time to start thinking about “The Tux”. I recently found (and shared) this joke on Facebook

“So if the bride wears white, because it is the happiest day of her life, why does the groom wear black?” It just made me laugh! 🙂

But then I got to thinking….why does a groom wear a black tux? I did a little bit of research online…and low and behold…..(drum roll)…I didn’t find a single reason. Black tuxedos are more popular because they can be used for any occasion. It seems like if you are going to purchase your tux…get a black one – then you’ll be able to use it again. However, gray and white tuxedos are strictly for weddings and shouldn’t be worn for any other occasion.

I did find this sweet link with more info for choosing a tuxedo http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/choosing-a-tuxedo-or-suit-for-your-wedding-day.html

 PS – I think any black tuxedo can make a man look amazing…When my husband is wearing his tux…it’s like he’s suddenly 10 times sexier.
PSS – That may have been a little bit TMI…sorry 🙂
PSS – What type and color of tuxedo do you like best?
