This weekend, B and I were discussing his wedding-day wardrobe, and we realized that he didn't yet have a shirt to wear for the big day. He decided he wanted to wear a white button-down shirt with French cuffs--my wedding gift to him was a pair of wedding-themed cufflinks. B is quite the snappy dresser and owns only exciting shirts--there wasn't a single white button-down in his closet, French cuffs or otherwise.
B did have the khaki pants that he'll be wearing--we bought them several months ago at the Banana outlet. However, we weren't so sure that they'd still fit.
Last month when I was feeling responsible and adult-like, I researched life insurance and found out that life insurance companies use 3 levels of health to determine your insurance premium, and I decided that B and I both have to be in the healthiest (aka cheapest) health bracket to keep our premiums down. I told B that we had to do everything in our power to get into the healthiest bracket, at least for the medical exam--it would mean saving thousands of dollars over the life of the insurance plan. He decided to re-examine his eating habits to try to get his BMI into the optimal zone.
And what an overachiever he is! None of his pants fit anymore--they are too baggy. He tried on his wedding-day pants, and they were no exception. We decided that a trip to the outlets was in order to exchange the pants and buy the shirts.
We got him new pants--one inch smaller in the waist but a world of difference--and 2 white shirts with French cuffs. And now our clothing is all set.
And if you're wondering why we bought two, see all posts regarding insurance, back-up plans, and emergency exits. You can never be too prepared!
