Groomsmen Attire

(We did have an issue a few weeks before the wedding with The Black Tux informing some of the groomsmen that they did not have the sizes ordered. My husband was able to get on the phone with someone get it sorted out. It worked out in the end, but was definitely not a great customer experience. The tuxes looked amazing though!)
