“You’re not marrying anyone, don’t just wear anything. Tuxedos are meant for special occasions and a wedding day is just that!” Mission Statement
 Photography: Kristi King Unlike women, who are used to dressing up, men may feel intimidated when faced with the prospect of wearing a tuxedo for their wedding day. Most men expect formal wear to feel uncomfortable until they actually try it on, and then, they are relieved when they find the outfit is quite comfortable and it looks great on them, too!
 Photography: Kristi King As with wedding gown fashion, certain styles come and go in the world of men’s formal wear, although the basics always remain the same with the elegance and romance of a tuxedo. Currently, the traditional black and white ensemble is very popular and, it never out of style. It’s a return to the glamour days of Hollywood, and the James Bond look!
 Photography: Kristi King Robin Fortier, Owner and General Manager states, “That every customer can expect a warm greeting and friendly help throughout the entire process. With a palette of great colours and patterns for vests and accessories, it’s easy to add a personal style and statement about that guy wearing the tux!”
Offering brand names such as After Six, Oscar de la Renta, Christian Dior, Bill Blass and Halston, they have a breadth of selection and everything is in stock. Out- of- town Groomsmen can be measured in the city they are in, and simply post their measurements on Monty’s website. Instant alterations are always available. There’s also a large selection of tuxedos and shoes and accessories for ring bearers!
When the Groom finally reaches the altar in his formal attire, it’s all a part of the wedding day magic that Monty Formal Wear creates. Trust their good taste, style and know-how for your special day.

A Windsor groom-to-be planned their entire wedding for one year; identical to what his bride-to-be had stated she wanted, except she was completely in the dark about the wedding planning and totally surprised! She thought she was going to a retirement party. What a guy, what a gal –
Produced by http://www.youtube.com/user/GavinMichaelBooth (some adult language contained), in my hometown of Windsor, Ontario. This is perhaps the fastest delivery of wedding media- ever.
Some brides wait forever for their videos ; but Gavin delivered the video overnight and to date, there have been 23,000 views on You Tube in 24 hours, (see the wedding below on youtube) with major media coverage from all across the globe.
Gavin is an incredibly hard-working Producer/Director, with aspirations to meet his 12 biggest heroes. He has blogged for 1600 days straight, which is the equivalent of 4 years, and still has a bucket list of names that he wants to meet. They include Steven Spielberg, Johnny Depp, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, to name a few. He believes that the world operates with 6 degrees of separation and is hoping to realize his dream sooner, than later. He will be traveling to the annual Toronto Film Fest in September, and who knows who he will meet there!!!
Congrats to the couple- Shawn and Colleen Lippert. May you spend 100 years together, in harmony! What a delightfully romantic way to begin married life together. They’ll always have their story!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53-6dPB1hkg&feature=feedlik

Remember how important the commitment is that you will be making to each other.
Remember the feeling of when you first looked at your mate and knew you loved them- allow that feeling to grow and grow.
Keeping track of the countless details in planning your wedding can be a stressful experience. You will be surprised by the amount of time and energy needed to plan the wedding. Yet, a wedding only lasts one day; the intention of a marriage is to last for a lifetime. With about 50% of current marriages ending in divorce, it is vital for you to give serious attention to building a healthy, long-term marriage.
There are many programs offered to enrich your relationship and they are aimed at helping you develop your strengths as a couple. These are usually small group sessions offered by religious institutions or independent agencies that focus on relationship growth.
 Trevor Booth Photography, Windsor, Ontario- will travel Look for programs which emphasize building relationship skills such as communication and conflict resolution. These will remain with you long after the program is completed and provide a solid base for your relationship.
Relationship programs offer a personal assessment of key areas of your relationship, allowing you to examine strengths and growth areas you have as a couple.
You may want to consider participating in a program after you are married. Most couples need to make a number of adjustments in their first year of marriage. An enrichment program provides a forum for discussing issues that otherwise may be left unexplored.
As a couple you must remember to care for yourself, first. Look to have a relationship where you are accessible and ready to “be there” when your partner needs you. This is the commitment and joy that marriage should bring and you should have a place, where you feel supported and can speak freely about your inner heart without the fear of rejection.
Giving compliments help keep your relationship grow. It’s easy to do, and it encourages your partner to do the same. You’re more likely to focus on the strengths of your marriage and the positive things that drew you to each other and brought you together.
Like a wedding, a relationship program requires an investment of time, energy, honesty and money; but they pay dividends for your marriage for years to come.
