♥ the tie that binds.

source.

want to find the quickest way to get your blood boiling?

try tying a bow tie. on yourself or around the neck of

your future groom, without wanting to strangle
someone out of pure frustration.

 after what seems like hours of watching and re-watching 

this how-to video, nick and i are still not convinced that we could do

this alone. it's awkward, impossible, and makes us both feel as if we
 are very lacking in hand-eye coordination skills.

if nick's wedding bowtie weren't so darn cute-
and didn't match so well to our wedding invitations,
i would totally exchange for a clip-on.

ps. nick's bow tie came from forage, and if you weren't aware-
they now make lady bows as well, (which is a perfect incentive to
 hurry up and learn how to tie a damn bow!)
