Love Under the Moon: Becoming a Groom

Upstairs, the groom, the dads, and all the groomsmen were in their own hotel room getting ready. 


Way back when we chose the tuxedos, we decided to stick with a simple and classic look. The guys wore black tuxes with black vests and ties, but Mr. Coyote chose silver for himself. He wanted to stick out a bit from the guys and it happened to be one of our accent colors. 


Mr. Coyote and I chose not to purchase wedding gifts for each other, but at the last minute I decided to pick up something small for him. You see, after we bought cufflinks for the guys and the dads, Mr. Coyote started feeling left out -- he kept complaining that he would be stuck with the standard cuff links that came with the tuxedo while everyone else had their own awesome cuff links. And so I secretly hopped back onto Etsy and found the perfect links for Mr. Coyote.

I called my brother down to my hotel suite while we were getting ready so he could give the links to Mr. Coyote. He was definitely surprised and even though he was mad at me for breaking the "no presents" rule I think he was okay with my exception!

I absolutely love this photo of FIL Coyote helping his son put on his boutinerre. 

After the guys were all dressed and spiffy they headed over to Franklin Plaza to get ready for the first look. 


And now there was nothing left to do but wait for the bride…
