Tuxedos!

A few days ago I posted the news on the Special Ops paintball forum, including that we want to do a paintball themed wedding. Of course that begged the question of what will my tux look like.

One of the other admins on the forum, Brad "Tenacious" Wilson had been chatting with Brian "Moati" Russell who is in charge of the Special Ops Paintball Softgoods division. Brad mentioned that I was looking for a camo tux and Brad said that he'd be able to accommodate that. Brad then sent me a message stating that.

Last night I sent a message to Brian asking about it. He confirmed it. The icing on the cake is that not only will I have a camo tux but it will be done for free. But it doesn't end there either. They are also going to make Logan a tux for free as well, toss in a garter for Carrie and they aer looking into to seeing what they might be able to do in way of a dress for Carrie.

Carrie was talking to Brian last night as well and sent him a link to a picture what she'd like done to a dress. It's a nice looking dress with a split front. The area exposed under the split is real tree camo, but Carrie would want a camo pattern that matches my tux. At the very least she'd like to have trim at the top and bottom of the dress in matching camo. Obviously nothing as "extreme" as my tux, but simple and elegant.

Here's her inspiration:

The dress idea is beautiful! The basic dress looks a lot like the bridesmaid dress a friend recently picked out for her wedding... I love the split design A-line look! :)

Way to go on the tux! Can't wait to see it!
