Lucky for me, I haven't been tuxedo shopping for a long time.

My brother Tyler and his finance Shelly are getting married in June 2nd.

My mom called me last week to see if I wanted to go look at tuxes for the wedding.

So, we did.

The first store we went to did not impress me.  The saleswoman seemed to be put out to do her job and seemed to assume my brother knew exactly what he was looking for.

 

 

 

I *might* have tried to conspire with my sister to tie the saleswoman up and stuff her in a fitting room.

My son was with us, so I had even less patience for her nonsense.

 

 

 

Thankfully we made our way to Louie's.

Julie, the saleswoman there, was so nice, friendly, and helpful.

It is amazing what a difference that made.

I could focus on what my brother was trying to decide on, instead of how I wanted to choke out the salesperson.

 

 

and this is what you get from Vinny when you put him in front of multiple mirrors at once

 

 

 

Thank you, Julie.  I do believe your store wins our patronage.

 

As for Vinny, I told him he could ride on the carousel for doing such a great job shopping with us.

 

 

The carousel operator let him ride for free

because he's so darn cute.

 

Tyler and Shelly - Less than 4 months away!
