The ladies and I had been getting ready for two hours, starting at 10 AM, when the men gathered to start getting ready at noon.
We put up our OOT groomsmen at a local B&B not 5 minutes from Mr. Sunbeam’s parents’ house and this is where they all gathered to get dressed and get Mr. Sunbeam ready to say “I do”. Unfortunately our photographer’s assistant didn’t take many pictures of the men getting ready because I guess he didn’t like the lighting, but I’ll share the few he did take.
BIL Sunbeam, going over the poem he chose to read for our ceremony.
Mr. Sunbeam writing a love note to give to his best man #1 who was very excited deliver to it me before our ceremony.
One of the best men vesting up. I had jokingly told him he had to grow his hair out, since he’d been shaving his head for years, and he did! Granted, it was a slight mohawk, but I think he looked great. Much to my surprise, all the groomsmen showed up with a grey vest, white shirt, and grey pants in hand! If you recall, we let them each pick out their own outfit, but gave them color guidelines, and it was a nail biter wondering if someone would end up coming without an outfit!
Second best man and BIL Sunbeam helping Mr. Sunbeam get ready for his big day.
Total concentration.
Now for the finishing touches - pocket square and tie clip.
And shablam! Mr. Sunbeam becomes Groombeam! All ready for his bride-to-be.
That’s it for photos of the men getting ready. Had I been there I would have insisted on more pictures be taken, but at least we got a few. You’ll see later how great the men all looked in their various vests and matching ties that Mr. Sunbeam gifted them, along with something more personal. Seeing Mr. Sunbeam in a suit reminded me of our High School proms and how I used to tell him he looked like a vampire. Well, today he looked like a handsome groom!

Groombeam—I love it! Those are some very nice pictures of the guys getting ready.
Whoo! Hot hubby alert! 
The grey tie and tie clip look very dapper. The pic of Mr. SB writing the love note to you is so sweet. Great pics!
How handsome! And its so cute that he wrote you a note beforehand!
I love groom getting ready shots. When I told my mom we had to have them she was so confused, now she gets it though
Really cute shots. I like the ones of them in their wrinkly undershirts.
I’m so glad all of your groomsmen came with the appropriate attire!! At least you have a few quality shots, something is always better than nothing!
Great shots! A question: Did your photographer not include editing in your package, or did you just prefer to do it yourself. Looks good!
@SummerBride: Good Question! I just looked at our contract to be sure, and I don’t see editing specified in it which I never noticed. We definitely got a few dozen edited photos back that were the photographer’s favorite. I wasn’t sure if any of the rest had been touched up or edited, so with some of the photos for WB I did some cropping and color correcting myself, which I do enjoy. I wanted to make note of that incase our photog sees them on here and doesn’t like how I edited some them!
Aww what a handsome man you have!! I love the pocket square! We’re going that route too.
Love Groombeam’s look! And…loving the title “Groombeam!” Haha!
