Anyone else annoyed by this...?

So, I am having a recurring nightmare that I am waking up the day of my wedding late and I don't have anyone to do my hair, makeup...etc. (I've literally had this dream 4 times in the last month)...

Anyway...yesterday - because of this, my FH and I went to 2 different Men's Warehouse stores and BOTH of them asked when our wedding was, told me to relax and that I had PLENTY OF TIME.

It only bothered me because until we look at the tuxedo options, I can't really get an idea of what we're working with. And...WE WERE JUST LOOKING!

I'm being sensitive since this recurring dream is really messing with me, but the way men's stores treat you compared to women's stores/vendors...it's crazy.

Bottom line...telling me that I have time is like telling me to relax. Ugh.

Haha I'm with you, do not tell me to relax because I will bug out on you lol. I don't see why they couldn't let you get it done early. I'm doing everything early and haven't run into a single road block (I got a few 'really? 2016?' from a few venues but that was in march). Maybe try another tux rental place? Somewhere less corporate? Unless you're set on Men's Warehouse.

Ok good - I'm not alone!!! Hahah!
I feel like Men's Warehouse was limited in their selection. I think if we got anything from David's Bridal - Id be more inclined to use MW since they have the same colors, etc.
I'm thinking we may go with Karako - which surprised me but the rentals are $40 less than MW and the groom is free after 6 GM.
Should work out. I just really hate being told that I'm doing things too early.

I just wish these nightmares would stop. Ugh.

I'm sorry your having that dream! :( I can totally relate to the you have enough time annoyance. I HATE it with a passion! Who are you to tell me!! Ugh!!
Anyway I wanted to let u know about Jos a banks for tuxedos. If karakos didn't work. I had such a great experience. I went to MW bc we have an out of town gm and I thought they were the only place that was here and in Florida. But they had NOTHING to match my bm dresses! I was so scared and stressed bc I heard jos a bank was more expensive, but classic tuxedo with all the upgrades is about $185 & fh is free with 5 tuxedos ( we need 8 & fh) I asked if they have coupons like mw the salesman said I'll give each guy a$25 off one I have. $160 would be the grand total. He said the other tuxedos run about $250 with tax. Hope this helps!#

I know when FH was best man at his best friend's wedding, he went 2 months in advance and Men's Warehouse said that was even far out lol!

Oh men, they have it so easy.
