Be honest, did you start singing this song after reading the title?
Well, except for some masks, dresses, and tuxedos, these stories aren't really the same. Catch up on last week's tuxedo cliff hanger here.
The law school's formal Barrister's Ball was the same day as our mason jar adventure and we had made plans to go to dinner with some friends beforehand. We tiredly finished cleaning the masons jars at 3:45,with dinner reservations at 6:00. As we plopped down, John looked at me and said, "we just took all my suits to the dry cleaners! I have nothing to wear tonight!" While the first part of that statement was actually a good thing (I had been "politely nudging" him to do this for a while), the second part was a little alarming.
Since we had just gotten engaged a week before, I was learning that they should change the schoolyard ditty to "First comes love, then comes engagement, then comes loads of wedding magazines." On Friday night, I showed John an ad for Formalware Outlet and their $99 tuxedo special, which even intrigued his frugal self.
So, ad in hand and with the clock ticking, we jumped in the car, made the 20 minute drive to Hillsborough and... 45 minutes later we walked out with John's brand new Tommy Hilfiger tuxedo, shirt, vest, bowtie, cuff links, and button covers! For $85! Oh yes, they were running the "student prom special." Thank you, OneCard! After all this, we were only 20 minutes later for dinner.
Isn't he handsome?
Well, I guess a tuxedo can only dress a guy up so much...
Masquerade!
