Picking Out the Suit

Today I had the amazing privilege to go with my son to pick out a suit for his wedding day. He had tried a couple of stores, but struggled to find something that fit him properly. He picked me up and while we were on our way to the shop, he told me about the place. It was a custom suit designer where the buyer was able to pick out everything – fabric, liners, exact colors, even down to the buttons. I was getting a little worried as I knew nothing of such things. Luckily, one of his friends who is also a groomsman met us there. He has very good fashion sense and I was glad he was present. The young man at the store said he had created over 600 suits. He started by measuring my son in all the ways that are needed, then had him try on a pair of pants and jacket. The salesman made notes about where the clothing needed to be taken in, or let out some. Then we got down to the business of the details. My son and his friend had photos of the suits the groomsmen would be wearing and discussed the color palette. The 2 of them made all the needed decisions. My contribution was to show the difference designs of the suits that were on display and to be supportive. At the end of the session, I feel they created a beautiful suit that is going to look amazing on my son as he marries the love of his life. I felt so blessed that my son invited me to go with him, even though I really wasn’t much help.

I Found God today helping my son prepare for his wedding.
