#TBT: Summer weddings, summer style

Well we're certainly a ways away from summer, but couldn't think of a better time to rejoice in the life of the warmest months. Blue gingham, Raybans on and plenty of cold beverages to go around. Sounds like my kinda party, and no I'm not referring to Jason Aldean.

Every good wedding has a man behind this scenes. Summer 2013 that was Mr. Robert J. Hanlon himself. Filling in on silk pocket square folding when no other man, or woman, was ready to step up for the challenge.

If you aren't familiar with proper silk square folding techniques Google it! The fold of the day for the groomsmen you ask? We went with the three mountain fold, an all time favorite

A summer wedding wouldn't be complete without a porch open to the elements at the reception. I could not think of a better back drop to cool off after some dancing out on the floor. Country clubs are always a good choice.

There is absolutely no better time to sing and dance to JT than a summer wedding. Suit and tie? Yep. Not ashamed one bit. Don't even question who sings it better there. Me over my brother any day.
