I've always laughed whenever I remembered this saying - that it doesn't matter if the groom runs away because you can just pick anyone in a tux and he's good enough to marry you.

I guess what it's mocking at is grooms' fashion in general, that it seems to be too constricted to classics suits that every man looks the same, anyone of them can become the groom.

There's not much to experiment with suits - with many opting for the safe and classic black suit and unlike brides-to-be, men do not have marathon discussions just to decide whether the bust line is just at the right position (not too nun-high or slutty low). This is a good thing. For Ery, I guess he always knew what it wanted, something unprototyped, a design that would reflect his personal style and yet comfortable enough for a warm garden wedding.

His second fitting went great, I managed to grab a few pictures this time. His suit fitted him well enough to make Tom Ford grin approvingly, and the skinny metallic/leatherish tie plus belt matched but hey the perfect accessory would be me, no...a skinny me on his arm!

A few tips for fittings:

• Bring your stuff - shoes, shirt, corset bra so that the tailor can alter a dress/suit accordingly.
• Take photos so that you can really see how you look in an outfit without the pressures from you tailor.
• Be vocal - let them know what you like to be fixed/don't like/feel funny in.
  
• Bring a friend or a parent whose fashion sense you can trust. They're your most reliable mirrors.

I should post pictures of my fittings soon!
