Cocktail attire. At 3:15 AM?!?

Some very good friends of ours invited us to a wedding in Dallas (actually Aubrey Tx part of the Dallas sprawl ). Some young new clients had hired me to do a financial plan and the only time we could meet was 8:30 AM yesterday. So up at 3:15 preparing for the meeting. I went ahead and got ready for the evening events knowing that it would be a very tight day. Met clients at my Tulsa office-drove the 4.5 hours to the hotel so my wife could change and made the 5:00 wedding arriving at 4:57 {whew}. Cocktail attire was the info on the invitation. But knowing the crowd I knew that would be ignored these days I wasn’t too concerned. Nevertheless I grabbed my medium weight MTM blue herringbone suit made for me Oct 1995, CT red and blue lined tattersall shirt. A red tartan bow tie. A deep red polka dot pocket square, 1940’s Ernst Borel automatic watch black captoes by J Fitzpatrick. Not seen are my silk deep green braces with red squares. My friend Jim the father is Apache and I love when he wears his authentic Apache beadwork tie. His daughter Jessi the bride is a beautiful young lady who now teaches music and is extremely talented. It was a delightful evening and worth the effort.
