Tuxedos & Surgery

Riley, Lori, and I went to check out Tuxedo Warehouse to see if we could find a tuxedo for Riley. The wedding is still a couple of months away but bridals are in a few weeks so we need to get Riley set up and good to go. The place was packed! It's Prom weekend so all of the boys and their moms were there trying to find a nice tux. Riley found some nice things but the vests and ties they had were NOT the right colors for the wedding.

I really want Riley to look fabulous. I want him to wear something that makes him look sharp. The place we checked out was good but there weren't that many options. I don't know...I want to make sure Riley is getting something that he wants and not just something that he's stuck with.

Speaking of Riley, he will be getting surgery next Wednesday. I know it's not that big of a surgery but I'm still nervous about it. The best way I can explain it is that between the esophagus and the stomach there is some tissue that blocks the acid from coming up the esophagus. Riley's problem is that there is a hole in that tissue.

They are going to wrap another piece of tissue around the place where the hole is. He has to stay in the hospital overnight and the next month will be hard. For the first week after the surgery he can only have liquids, a week after that he can move to applesauce, a week after that mashed potatoes...he can't eat solid food for a month. He can't lift anything over head either. So we're planning on him not having a job until after we're married, which will be frustrating but it will be possible.



Yesterday Marissa and I went and chose the pattern for the bridesmaid's dresses. Marissa is the awesome girl who is sewing them for me. Tomorrow we're choosing the fabric but I love the pattern. The only difference is that we're making it my wedding colors, getting rid of the ribbon, lengthening the skirt and gathering it a little bit. My bridesmaids are going to be beautiful!



Have an exceptional day!
