Tux to Chucks in One Night!

pshoes

JP lives in his Chucks. Wears them all. The. Time. He goes through about 2 pair a year, I’d say. I love it. They’re awesome and classic, all at the same time. Since we’re trying to have as much “us” as possible show through in our wedding, why not inject a li’l’ JP-style into our shindig?

So about halfway through the reception, or, well, after the first dance and cake stuff, JP’s going to transform from James Bond groom into a more relaxed super-awesome-supa-fly groom. (Not that he isn’t always super-awesome-supa-fly). After the first dance, after the cake cutting, when it’s time for us to really kick up our heels, JP will de-coat, de-bow-tie, roll up them sleeves, and don a pair of Chucks.

Not just his regular ol’ Chucks. No no no. We’re talking custom wedding Chucks.

Colored on the inside and a colored stripe down the back. Our wedding date embroidered on the back. Hot stuff, right?

While some might balk at the idea of their groom in Chucks, I think it’s awesome. I’ve seen brides throw on flip-flops, so why not let the groom put on some awesome shoes? I rest my case.

What are you (and your groom) doing to inject his style into his wedding-wear? Anybody else going the Chucks-at-the-reception route? Or something even more awesome?

I love this idea, but D isn’t a Chucks kinda guy… he’s actually pretty granola and I might die if he changed into some Berks with his tux. ;)

My guy’s a cowboy through and through… he doesn’t even own dress shoes but has like 3 pairs of cowboy boots so he will be rocking those :) And I’m looking into making him and the groomsmen tooled leather vests to wear with their black suits :D I’ll post pics when I find the fabric…

Yeeeeeeeeeesh!

Da’ hubs wore his chucks for the whole big show, but I did make him buy new ones. We didn’t see the whole customization thing until it was too late, boo.

@Marigold- You mean granola in the TRUE granola sense! Not the bland way. I think Birks might not work with wedding gear. :p

@MM- Omg, want to see.

@Nickki- That will be super fun, and you can run around like crazy! I’m also a sucker for anything that brings color to weddingland!

@Layla- At least they were fresh! JP wears his until the soles are worn through. Plus the cat loves to nom on the laces.
