Pink Tuxedo Vests

I wonder what the general consensus will be on this. For the upcoming wedding I'm going to, I was thinking about trying on some pink tuxedo vests. I'm not sure if they're a bit too modern though. I think it's supposed to be a very specific, old-style kind of event. My sister has some definite ideas about what she wants, but I'm not actually going to be in the ceremony itself. Just attending, and sitting in the audience. So, I guess I can wear whatever I want, right? Even if it's not exactly what she had in mind.

 

 
I don't know why anyone would have a problem with pink tuxedo vests. I think they add some pizzazz to the traditional tux that everyone's used to seeing. They bring the look into the present day. Don't get me wrong, I actually love the old styles, but lately I've just been feeling like I would rather update my look. Maybe it's a mid-life crisis or something. Maybe it's because I'm back on the market.

Now that I'm thinking about it, I only started thinking about a new look after my wife left, so it's probably more that than anything. Not that I'm going to start wearing pink tuxedo vests and all the problems with my love life will be solved, but a little update to the old ways of doing things couldn't hurt. That's the definition of insanity, isn't it? Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Well, I don't want to do that. I want better results cause the ones I got stink.

I guess my ex-wife and I had a lot of good years together, but the ending left a lot to be desired. So, I want to change everything up. I want to style my hair a different way, wear my tux, put on pink tuxedo vests, and go out into the world. I want to try new things, and meet new people, and become a new version of me. Then maybe I'll find happiness again.

You would think a guy in a tux could be happy, wouldn't you? Or do I need a cummerbund too? What kind of cummerbund would go with pink tuxedo vests? Does that even matter? Maybe it's crazy to tie happiness to a waist sash. I don't think it could hurt though. At least it could be a nice placebo. If you feel different, you act it. And I want to act like someone who is smartly dressed and ready to reach for a new life. That seems like a great way to be.

So maybe I'll see what happens at my sister's wedding. That's the first step. I have always heard that weddings are a great place to meet people. With the crowd that I expect her to invite, I don't have high hopes, but you never know. I'll just get into my Sunday finest- tux, cummerbund, pink tuxedo vests, and a nice pair of shoes. I'll go there with my boys. And maybe it'll be the first day of the rest of my life.
