Stupid Tuxedo Shop is Stressing Me Out!!!

[robbie3982]

I won free tuxedos for the whole wedding party at a bridal show I went to months ago. The problem with it is that the shops are only located in the Youngstown area where we live, but we''re getting married in the Pittsburgh area about 1.5 hrs away. The owner assured me that this wouldn''t be a problem. We''ll pick up the tuxes Thursday night before we leave, the guys arrive Friday during the day, try on the tuxes and if there''s any major problem, FI should have enough time to take the problem GM along with his tux back to the shop to fix it. If it wasn''t saving our guys so much money I never would''ve tried to deal with renting them out of town, but our guys are kind of hard up on cash and this is really helping them out.

Today the tux place calls FI to go over some details and says something about snakeskin...uh...NOTHING that we ordered should be snakeskin!!! Now we have to go over after work to sort it all out. We were just there a few weeks ago and everything was fine. I have no idea where they got snakeskin from. Ugh.

Snakeskin?! That is hilarious. But hilariously awful too. Poor Robbie!

Oh what a pain for you! I often think the free stuff is not always worth the hassle! I''m curious to know what is going to be made of snakeskin though!

 

[Aloros]

Snakeskin??? Oh, good lord!

This sounds like one of those things you''ll be able to laugh about down the line...but is NOT funny right now. Good luck sorting that out.

it might be the shoes?? and it might not be that bad,
i know when FI chose the tuxes from Mens Wearhouse there was one shoe option that had sort of a texture on the top part of the shoe, but I wouldn''t have called it snakeskin.
Lordy- sure hope it''s not the vest or the pants!

i''m sure it will be fine, but make sure to report back- i''m curious now

It was the shoes apparently. But when we went, they said the shoes we picked weren''t snake skin, but they also weren''t the correct shoes. That''s all fixed now. I think they also had the fathers'' tuxes wrong, but we fixed that too. Whew.
