So in regards to this whole patriotic theme, I admit I have a tendency to go a little nuts. So one thing that KitanJi wants to do is scrap boutonnieres and just have RED-WHITE-&-BLUE buttons! Dave's will say something like, "YES, I DO!" and maybe his groomsmen's buttons will say... "YES HE CAN!" or "YES HE DOES" or "WE SUPPORT DAVE" or maybe just a big button with our faces on them...

And in lieu of a traditional vest&tie look, I thought maybe they can have some patriotic action going on in the tie area as well! My dress is cream and my bridesmaid dresses (found by iliketatertots - the interweb bridesmaid) are dark red/maroon/bing cherry/burgandy/deoxygenated blood colored:
($31.99 on sale at http://www.target.com/ -- although they seem to be regular priced now!)
So I'm now looking for some navy blue/dark red tie options... Maybe we should go U.S.A.-all-the-way (from http://www.ties.com):
(I sorta like the red one on the left, http://www.tieguys.com)
I almost want to make the guys wear the crazy statue of liberty or eagle ties (pictured below) as revenge for all the ugly bridesmaid dresses out there... guys should have a chance to be humiliated in support of their friend's wedding. HAHA, isn't the eagle one freaky??? I have a half a mind to make the groomsmen wear these...
Or perhaps we should go more international (one of the tenets of our wedding doctrine is to incorporate Korea/Japan/USA into our wedding):
I'm actually sort of partial to this navy blue international tie above! It's subtle enough where it won't overwhelm everyone, but the people in the bridal party will know how secretly funny and thematic it is!
The other option is to go with a nice preppy navy/cherry striped tie... Do you think it'll work with a plain black suit?
If DK vetoes everything (he has the ultimate power of veto in our wedding plans -- he's the executive branch of our relationship), then maybe we'll go with plain navy or plain crimson groomsmen stuff and then get them funky shoes...
