Okay, so, I had this whole thing with my daughter’s wedding, and let me tell you, picking out a tie was way harder than I thought it would be. It’s not just about matching colors, you know? There are a few things I didn’t even think about until I was in the middle of it.
First off, I started by looking at what everyone else was going to wear. My daughter, she had this whole color scheme planned out, which was helpful. I asked her about the colors of the groomsmen’s suits and what kind of style she was going for – formal, casual, that sort of thing.
- Checked the wedding theme and season.
- Talked to my daughter about her preferences.
- Considered my own comfort and style.
Turns out, it was going to be a pretty formal affair. So, I started researching “formal father of the bride attire.” Most of what I found suggested a classic black tuxedo. Now, I don’t own a tuxedo, and I wasn’t sure I wanted to buy one just for this. So, I called up a few rental places to see what they had.
Choosing the Right Tie
The tie was the trickiest part. I learned that traditionally, it’s the groom’s family that covers the costs of the wedding suits, including shirts, and ties. But in this case, I wanted to pick something special myself. I went to a few different stores and tried on a bunch of different ties. Black, silver, even some with patterns. I wanted something that would complement the wedding colors but also show a bit of my own personality.
It was a whole process, let me tell you. I was texting pictures to my wife, getting her opinion. Finally, I found this one tie – a beautiful dark blue one that matched the bridesmaids’ dresses but wasn’t too flashy. It felt right, you know? It was formal enough for the occasion but still felt like me. And it is a good way to express my feeling.
In the end, I realized it’s not just about the tie itself. It’s about the whole experience of being part of my daughter’s big day. It made me feel more connected to the whole thing, and that’s what really matters.
