Wedding Wednesday

Ties and Procrastination

Wedding Wednesday

filed in:

worse than getting a bad case of “Procrastination” when you’re planning a wedding! There were some things about our wedding that I was on top of! …. For example, Michael proposed to me on a Monday Night and I emailed Jasmine Star on Tuesday morning. Actually…. I’m pretty sure I emailed her a year before I was engaged but that’s just embarrassing and I won’t tell that story. I had my priorities and finding Michael a tie wasn’t one of them. The reason I procrastinated shopping for a tie was because our suits were a strange brown color and I had NO IDEA what was going to match!

I was already overwhelmed with other details that needed to get done and so I waited until two weeks before the wedding to find him a TIE! What was I thinking!? Ah!!! I searched frantically in every store known to man and still couldn’t find anything that would look right! It was crunch time now! My friend Emily told me that they had found Seth’s Tie at Bows-n-Ties.com and so I started looking there. If I ordered one tie, I would have to have it shipped SUPER fast and what if it came and didn’t match?!!!! Fear was setting in and I quickly came up with a solution.

.

I’ll just buy EVERY POSSIBLE COLOR that could match and then return the rest. The great news is that I DID have one tie out of about 15 that worked! I loved it and Michael looked so good on our wedding day! However….. not only did I procrastinate finding a tie…. I procrastinated sending the extras back to the company! I missed the deadline and I now I’m stuck with 14 random, neutral colored ties!! So if anyone is interested in buying some tan, cream and ivory ties for 75% off…. I’m your girl! Enjoy your Wednesday and brides, a little tip from me… find your ties NOW!:)

Ps. Doesn’t he look good?! The one tie that worked ended up being PERFECT!

Awwww and there’s Corey, my sweet brother! There ties were bought online through the same company that designed our bridesmaid dresses.

Thanks for reading!
