["Akili"] asks, "So, uh... what's a groomsman do?"

["Pearl"] says, "Stand next to the groom and look cute."

["Calin"] says, "The groomsmen stand next to me."

["Akili"] doesn't do cute. He can occasionally manage handsome, though. ;-)

["Calin"] chuckles.

["Pearl"] smiles.

["Sessa"] says, "I think you will like what we are gonna stuff you into."

["Pearl"] says, "Even better."

["Akili"] eyes ["Sessa"] warily.

["Sessa"] smiles.

["Akili"] imagines ["Russell"] being stuffed into a lion suit. That's wearing a tux.

["Cal"] chuckles.

["Sessa"] says, "That is the pattern we are going from.

["Sessa"] says, "We have some slight changes for ["Calin"], but I think the groomsmen we will keep simple."

["Pearl"] wonders how ["Akili"] will get fitted.

["Akili"] rumbles lightly, "Ah. Princesuits."

["Sessa"] says, "He will have to tell us his measurements sometime."

["Akili"] asks, "Uh. And how do I get those?"

["Sessa"] says, "With a tape measure usually."

["Calin"] says, "You have somebody measure you."

["Calin"] measures ["Akili"]. "Let's see. Total length, about a half inch. Height, from the top of the A... 1/4 inch."

["Calin"] says, "k width... 1/8."

["Sessa"] giggles.

["Akili"] has been measured for a tux once, but that was quite a while ago.

["Akili"] rumbles lightly, "We went to an actual shop for that."

["Sessa"] says, "We need your chest size, back length, and shoulder width mostly."

["Akili"] doesn't have that kind of measuring stuff at his house, but maybe he'll remember to ask for that when he's visiting his parents.

["Calin"] says, "You have some choice of exact jacket style, as you can see from the picture ["Sessa"] linked."

["Pearl"] says, "["Sessa"], maybe you can email ["Akili"] with exact directions. You know, shoulder bone to elbow, or whatever."

["Akili"] asks, "The groomsmen won't be clones?"

["Calin"] says, "If you have no opinion, we'll pick one for you."

["Calin"] says, "Nah."

["Akili"] chuckles.

["Akili"] rumbles lightly, "But then they could attack, and you could have a video camera recording, and... anyway. Hm."

["Sessa"] says, "Neither will the bridesmaids. Too many different shapes."

["Akili"] asks, "Squares, circles, triangles?"

["Calin"] nods. "The groomsmen are all pretty much the same shape, but since the women aren't clones, we aren't either."

["Sessa"] says, "More like Circle, Stick, Hourglass."

["Calin"] laughs.

["Akili"] laughs, too.

["Akili"] looks over the shirts. "Hm."

["Akili"] will have to think about it.

["Calin"] says, "Feel free to make up some slight changes, too."

["Akili"] exclaims, "Tie-dye!"

["Calin"] says, "I don't think that's very slight."

["Sessa"] says, "Right, it's the seventies. I will just change my colors to rainbow."

["Calin"] says, "Mine is dark, almost black-green. I hadn't thought about what colors the groomsmen would wear, but something dark if not black."

["Calin"] says, "The women's dresses are all cut from the same cloth."

["Akili"] grins, and was joking, of course. "It just seemed too appropriate a comment."

["Sessa"] says, "A kind of deep green, but nothing close to black for the bridesmaids."

["Calin"] smiles. "Of course."

["Calin"] says, "I figured. I think ["Paw"] and I will choose the cloth for the groomsmen."

["Akili"] looks over the image again. "Maybe a saber attached to my hip... ;)"

["Calin"] says, "Save money by cutting them all from the same cloth, like we did with the women."

["Pearl"] goes to lunch.

["Calin"] smiles.

["Calin"] says, "Not for the wedding, but you can keep the jacket. So feel free to use it later."

["Akili"] rumbles lightly, "Neat."

["Calin"] says, "Another benefit of having them made rather than renting."

["Paw"] thinks ["Akili"] needs a tie-dyed handkerchief.

["Calin"] chuckles.

["Sessa"] says, "No one gets a handkerchief, if you sneeze TOO DAMN BAD. :)"

["Akili"] rumbles lightly, "Well, you know... as much as I like the color combination, tie-dye can often send the wrong signals to people."

["Calin"] says, "Yeah, you'll note that there are no breast pockets on those jackets."

["Sessa"] nods.

["Akili"] duly notes it.

["Paw"] says, "Ah, right."
