Windsor knot looks cleaner, but I guess I've been doing the oriental the whole time.
I hate ties.

Been a long time since I wore one, but I think I did the Windsor (didn't even bother to watch the vids )

I somehow lost my real only real tie though, so now all I own are a couple clip-ons. Really short clip-ons like a kid would wear

windsor is a pain in the ass. too hard to remember

i got a new tie and shirt yesterday for the wedding. should be a good time. my side of the family doesn't really drink / get crunk. other side of the family does a lot. all i know is nicole and i are gettin' a ride down with my parents so i don't have to drive back.

i'm an usher. i get to make sure people don't sit in the front row, then roll out the carpet thing down the aisle. luckily, i don't get a tuxedo. i made sure the other usher wasn't wearing a suit, because if he was, i'd be out buying one right now h:
