Tuxedo Time!

A couple of weeks ago, Eric and I went out to Iowa for a friend's wedding and an amazing Iowa shower! We arrived in Moline late Friday night, and the second we walked out of the airport and breathed in the fresh grassy air, Eric was jumping up and down! As he hopped in our rental car and took to the parkway, he announced, "I just feel so much calmer here, and like I don't have to concentrate as hard on the road." Then he paused and added: "Of course, maybe that's because the roads are straight and there isn't any traffic!"

We stopped at the cannot-be-missed Iowa 80 (aka largest truck stop in the world) for a late night Orange Julius, and then continued to Eric's parents where we went to sleep quickly because the next morning was....

Tux shopping!

To make it easy for groomsmen from Iowa and California and Eric on the East Coast to get matching tuxes, we went to Men's Warehouse in Cedar Rapids, where Megan was amazing at helping us to pick out the right look.

We decided to go with red vests and ties for the groomsmen, black for the dads, and champagne and gold for Eric. Here are Eric and his best man basking in their brilliant choices and handsome looks!
