The Sweetest Day: The Dashing Gents

July 24th, 2008 @ 5:43 pm by Mrs. Eggplant

On the wedding day, brides spend their morning meticulously primping and pruning for hours on end. Each eyebrow hair is diligently combed in place. Each lash, carefully coated with mascara. Conversely, a groom’s job is easy. Rent tux. Show up. Remember to say “I do.”

So, how DO those boys keep busy?

On Mr. Eggplant’s side of the camp, he took his guys out for morning brunch. Notice their relaxed demeanor. Oblivious to the wedding day madness, these boys chugged OJ and chatted up fantasy sports. See Mr. Eggplant’s Mets jersey? Needless to say, he picked out his own outfit. If he had his way with the wedding, we would’ve been married at Shea Stadium, dressed in jerseys and pinstripe baseball pants.

Mr. Eggplant is notorious for wearing Crocs. He wears them in the house, out to work, here, there, and EVERYWHERE. The only fitting gift for his groomsmen was a pair of Crocs for each of them. Here they are, neatly stuffed with post it labels, noting the names of their lucky new owners.

Even boys appreciate a pretty place to primp. I requested an early check in for our honeymoon suite so the guys could don their duds in style.

One of the groomsmen finally convinced Mr. Eggplant to remove that stinkin’ Mets jersey and replace it with a proper jacket and tie.

Croc’s, on the other hand… a small bribe might be in order.

Perhaps a pair of Mets cufflinks will do? This was my wedding day gift to Mr. Eggplant. I hid them in the pocket of his tux jacket. Something he’ll probably never wear them again, but it was worth the picture. smiley10106

At around 1pm, Stacey, our floral designer and day-of-coordinator extraodinaire, showed up to deliver the flowers and help pin the corsages onto the helpless men.

While the gals woke up at 8am and proceeded to ready themselves for six long hours, it took all of half an hour for the boys to dress and go. They spent the remaining hours modeling for a GQ-inspired photo shoot and tinkering with the AV set up in our reception room (pictures to come).

Next up: A bridal emergency ensues while the guys turn GQ/Vanity Fair!

Hi Mrs. Eggplant,

I have a question about the mets cufflinks as I am marrying a Mets lover. We have purchased several ticket packages and we live in Boston. I also have the baseball package on my cable bill so he can watch all the games. Where did you get hte cufflinks and what exactly did they look like?

But there are a few other options too:

Glad to know I’m not the only one with a Mets obsessed man. :-)
