First off, apologies all around for the late post. I'll be sure to post more frequently now that this one is outta the way!
So when I was making up the itinerary for the boys, I didn't really know what to put. I mean, Nick said it best when we were talking to Patrick about the prep... "we just have to take care of the three S's... (s%@t, shower and shave)" Patrick, being quick on the update, aptly said "um ya, we'll just cover one of those!"
With that said, I'll let Nikko take over...
OK, so this was the morning before the wedding - as you can all see we look pretty rough.
Let's keep this G rated... we can only handle one of the S's
So now that I have had time for breakfast, it's time to shave for the camera as usual.
I've never seen Merv in a suit and tie until today... looking pretty good!
Speaking of not seeing someone in a suit and tie, here's another guy who can't seem to get his suspenders on.
I have a sneaky feeling that this young lad will be wearing one of these again.
Ahhhhh Chooooo.... Sniffle* I just sneezed into that rag, I feel sorry for the girl at Freemans who has to clean it
More Camera work... isn't it grand! I feel like Paris Hilton (actually the Hilton is right next door to this hotel).
"Damn, you look good", Damn, you look good too"... That's cuz were brothers!
Uhhh, what's that? I think the rings might be in these boxes... BIG ring - hope it doesn't show up on MY Visa.
OK, lemme interject here. The night of the rehearsal dinner, I gave Nick a bag of gifts that I wrapped for his crew... included was the package above. He was supposed to open it in front of the camera :( If he did, he would have gotten a chance to wear these spiffy boxers:

I also got him this sweet card created by Sara of
Stinkerpants Designs! The inside states "I give you my heart!" I freaking love this card and Sara's designs. If I had the money I sooo would have commissioned her to created our wedding suite... sorry Suzette, you know her invites rock. Instead we decided to do something else. And you know what comes next, more on that lata!

I also got him those BR propeller cuff links in silver and gold to match his grooms men along with the cologne "for him" by Narciso Rodriguez.

Now back to Nick's commentary!
Bling Bling... Welcome to the Navy Boys!
Thanks for the gift Uncle Nick! Finally, my first piece of Bling!
Ok, this camera guy is starting to annoy me. How come he is in more pics than me?
Wonder Twins Activate! Form of - Grooms man!
You've got to be seriously bored to watch a wedding show on the day of a wedding your participating in... Kids these days.
Damn, I look good again!
Finally we're on our way, and not one picture of Peter... I wonder where the guy is?
"Enter the limo" - there's no turning back now.
So yaaaa... um apparently Nikko is at a loss for words... please forgive him. He's mad busy trying to get things in order by the end of the week... he's heading out west again (tear) for four (4) months for training :(
Next up the limo ride!
P.S. Special thanks goes out to
Peter, who was our photographer for while the gents got ready! And a quick shout out to Konrad of
StillMotion... you did good man!
