A Note From the Best Man

One Day. One Suit. No Room for a Stain.

Best man speech, photos all day, a reception under hot lights — my dress shirt was working overtime, and by the time the photos happened, I could see it starting to show through the light blue fabric.

This wasn't a shirt I could just throw in the wash and forget about. It needed to look right for the rest of the night, not next week.

A quick spray in the bathroom, a few minutes to let it work, blotted dry with a paper towel. Back in photos within ten minutes, no one the wiser.

Now it's just something I keep in my bag for the events that actually matter — the ones where you don't get a second chance at the photo.
