omg... ridiculous party picture (link in post)

You guys... some comic relief for your Friday night.  I was browsing through Kara's Party Ideas to get ideas for our big guy's 4th birthday party.  And came across this party.  The theme is adorable (hot air balloons) and I love the bright colors.  

 

Scroll about 25% down to the family picture of the husband, wife, and 2 kids.

Seriously... if I asked my husband to wear that, he'd laugh at me and walk away.  I am sorry to laugh at this lovely family but holy crap.  There is no f*ing way my husband would wear a coordinating tie (that matches the scarf on my dress and our kids outfits), white button down shirt, and denim shorts to a party!  LMAO.  I can't even type that without laughing.  

 

Sorry...

    Oh.... my.... 

    He looks so uncomfortable too.

    And do men even wear jean shorts? I had a boyfriend who called them "jorts" and we used to drink every time we saw someone wear them to a Cardinals game.

     

    LMAO!  That is awesome.  I will admit that my husband actually had some when we first met.  Let's just say he doesn't have them anymore!  They were more for around the house/working in the yard but still.  Gross.  He is more of a cargo shorts kind of guy.

    Wow. I agree with Scattered he does look uncomfortable.

    DH will not wear denim shorts and I okay with that. I showed him the picture and he laughed at the guy and said it was ridiculous.

    My lame browser won't let me give you (well really your husband) the thumbs up but picture it in your mind.

    He does not look happy about the situation.  What I don't understand is that the coordinating picture could have been acomplished with a pair of navy shorts (I'm picturing golf shorts in my head but don't know what else to call them).  Why are the jorts even necessary?  For someone who planned and coordinated that beautiful party, it seems out of place to have the jorts. 

    Perhaps he was not happy about the coordinating tie and the shorts were his rebellion.

    Maybe I am over thinking this.  I'm just...confused.

    I'm thinking that if they wear matching outfits to a kids' birthday party, that maybe they're also a jorts family?  I dunno.  The whole thing boggles my mind.

    That could very much be the case.

    I've thought about it some more (becuase, really, what else do I have to do?).  I've created back story for this family.

    He actually found the fabric for the matching tie, dresses, and scarf while browsing for party supplies months ago.  He was so excited because the family would coordinate so well with the rest of the decor!  His look of discomfort is actually a look of, "Yeah, you know we look good.  You know this is the most awsome kid's party you've ever been to."  The jorts happened because that is the only kind of short he owns/wears.  He likes how they show of the "package."

    Look at the picture for a minute.  You'll see the look I'm refering to.

    LMAO!! Fabulous scenario!

    MH would laugh in my face if I asked him to wear that...seriously.

    Uuhhhh....am I the only one who thinks this is cute? I don't think he's wearing Jorts, they just look like blue linen shorts to me. I have a feeling they are from the South where this kind of behavior is perfectly acceptable if not expected!

    It's a gorgeous party.  I did chuckle when I read that her daughter's first year "flew by" since I think she spent 6 months of it planning for her birthday!

    Dude, if that is EXPECTED, I would rather be a different species.  I mean, if it is your thing, whatever, go for it.  But if that is what people are supposed to do, I have never been so bummed to be a person from the south.
