The suit, part 2

So the time had come to go to the tailor to pick up Atkins' suit, and get the boys measured for their waistcoats.

I did some cat herding and got Atkins and his friend and myself all ready to go for 8.30 the next morning. We left at 9.30 which isn't too bad. We parked by a petrol station and waited for the other best man to tur up. Eventually he did, but by then the tailor had gone out to the bank.

The best man had to leave, so, Kiwi ingenuity at its finest, I used the flowergirl's dress I happened to have in the car to take his measurements before he headed off.

Eventually tailor, Rachel, Atkins and Joshua, the other best man were all reunited in the tailor's workroom and thing went swimmingly from there. Joseph is a fantastic tailor and we were very lucky to have him recommended to us.

P.S. stuff is cheaper here. He charged $40 NZ to alter Atkins' suit - at least a day's work.
