28 Jun 08 - Today, Her Royal Majesty and I trudged down to Suntec City to collect my suit from Dickson Tailor. Our appointment had been scheduled for 11.45am, but we were busy sorting out the mayhem at home, and ended up reaching City Hall at about 12pm.
From past experience, we knew that the tailor, Mr Wong, was a stickler for punctuality and had no qualms showing his displeasure if you failed to show up on time. Therefore, Her Royal Majesty decreed that I should hotfoot over to the shop while she strolled down Citilink.
As expected, Mr Wong had his "I-eat-late-customers-for-lunch" face on. One of the first things he mentioned was that he had another customer coming in shortly, and said I might have to wait until he's done. I discreetly scooted out of his way, and avoided eye contact by suddenly taking on great interest in the bales of fabric littered around his shop.
When told that Her Royal Majesty would be arriving in 5 minutes, Mr Wong brought over my items and told me to try them on. I tried on a white tie-wrap and silver vest combo, and we promptly decided that this was to be my outfit during the day of my customary wedding.
In addition, we also rented a maroon tie-wrap for the tuxedo jacket that was supplied by Jazz Bridal. This matches Her Royal Majesty's custom-made evening gown. My oufit during the second march-in will comprise tuxedo jacket, black vest, black shirt and maroon tie-wrap.
The entire package fitted onto a hanger and it was encased in a suit cover to prevent it from getting dusty. We paid the remainder of the balance to Mr Wong and left happily, clutching my very first tailor-made suit tightly in my hand.
