Wish I was a WIS when I got married 7 years ago.

I wore a Hamilton Ventura...wait for it...

Quartz.

Don't hate! ;-)

Not really. It's not even the most well rounded Rolex. DJ, Airking and Explorer all beat it by some distance in my opinion.

To the OP, Congrats on your wedding day. I think the only person that decides what the groom can wear at his wedding is his bride

Great Pics. Congrats. I take the plunge exactly 2 months from today. I love my fiance but all this wedding stuff is getting old. We have gone from a "small" wedding with 100-125 people to over 300 now (atleast the invites went out Friday and today so it's not getting bigger.) We even had to switch venues because of so many people. Most are her families friends so its not her or my idea about having such a huge wedding. I just think about how many watches I could buy for the cost of this wedding. I mean hell, I could almost have a YG GMTII for what the dang flowers are costing. IMO I need to be in the wedding business. I've been thinking about what watch I'm going to wear too. I've considered my SubC if I haven't picked up my AP by then. The AD I've been dealing with on APs also carries several other high end brands. He let me try an AP ROO chrono in Ti this weekend. When I dropped it back off this AM I asked about renting or borrowing a true dress watch. I'm going to probably borrow something for the special day. It will be used so I'm not sure exactly what it might be but I'm hoping for a very simple PP VC or IWC. It will just depend on what he has in used inventory at the time. Congrats on the special day. I'm very excited for mine.

Thank you all very much. We're still on cloud 9, but the adrenaline wore off and we're so tired.
Unfortunately, or fortunately for my wallet, she's no wis so the only jewelry she had on was pearls and diamonds.

I think my ring, brushed white gold, looks good with the sub bracelet. Here's a shot
