Not Your Father's Bow Tie!

 If you're an observer of people (as I am) and their fashion habits, you will have noticed the return (in popularity) of the bow tie. I asked myself where exactly did the bow tie originate, so I Googled it (duh!). The first entry I chose was, of course, Wikipedia, which stated, and I quote "The bowtie originated among Croatian mercenaries during the Prussian wars of the 17th century." Hmm, Croatian mercenaries...um, yeah.

A I continued to read I saw a quote from Warren St John (The New York Times circa 2005), whose matter-of-fact statement summed up what most trendsetters think..."wearing a bow tie is a way of broadcasting an aggressive lack of concern for what other people think." Bingo! I am woman (or in this case, Man), hear me roar! So what does this mean for you, dear groom, when it comes to selecting the accessories for yourself and the groomsmen? Everything! Don't be afraid to take the non-traditional route and do you.

Strutting your own style for your wedding is the best pre-wedding gift you can give to yourself and up the attraction meter in your wife-to-be. Don't get me wrong, I like traditions, and they can useful in some ways, but this is YOUR day too, and you owe it to yourself to rock you - Bow Tie style. Here are some attention grabber bowties that I think you will love and perhaps select for your wedding day:

Clearly non of these bow ties will go down in yawn producing history. In fact, I am pretty sure if you select one or more of these unusual, conversation starting, woman magnetizing (for the groomsmen, of course) ensemble finishers, people will stop, do a double take, and possible wrestle you to the ground to find out where you got them. Just remember, you saw it here first! :o)
