My fiance and I are getting married. The ceremony will take place at our home (80 acre cattle ranch in front of the large barn) and is themed "Why Knot". Formal attire is NOT required, but still trying to keep it classy. Looking for ideas for dress that are classy, but fun. Perhaps a non-traditional cut. Black is my favorite color with stainless/titanium accents. Not a big fan of bow ties. Suggestions? Recent Photo of me for inspiration.

"Search for everything except love and death. They will find you when the time comes." Unknown Just found this one interesting so I though I would share it with you all. Enjoy your day brothers.

I was given an amazing gift for Christmas from my wife and in-laws. The Lego set of the HMS "Endurance." If you're not familiar with this ship, she was the expedition ship of Sir Ernest Shackelton's voyage where his aim was to be the first to cross Antarctica from coast to coast. However, before they made landfall, the "Endurance" became trapped in ice and later sank. The mission the became one of survival. Sir Shackelton led his men to the uninhabited Elephant Island so they would at least be off the frozen sea. Then he and five others sailed one of the ship's lifeboats over 800 miles to seek rescue. The entire crew survived. Every year I choose a theme for the year rather than a New Years resolution. In 2026, my theme will be Endurance. This build and doing some research about Sir Shackelton and the "Endurance" helped me come to this decision. Through Endurance We Conquer. Shackelton family motto.
