One of my favorite things about my husband is he always says “babe we are a team”, which is his way of telling me we will get through whatever it is going on big or small together. I think the team mentality is part of what makes our relationship so strong. We referred to ourselves, long before we got engaged, as Team Bowen.
We would joke about wearing matching sweatsuits to brunch the morning after our wedding. The plan was to get bride and groom embroidered on the sweatpants. On the jackets we would have Team Bowen version 3.0.
Although it was always a joke, in the end we followed through with our plan and had sweatsuits made. And let me just say I LOVE(D) THEM and so did our friends and family!!!

I bought my sweatsuit from Victoria’s Secret and then got his from Amazon. VS is constantly running specials so I strongly suggest waiting for a sale like I did.
My husband was kind enough to run this very important wedding errand. He took the sweatsuits to a local chain and worked with the associate to correctly place the wording. He also successfully chose the purple colored string for my sweatsuit that was almost the same as our wedding color purple. Serious props to my husband, because he made the perfect choices for the embroidery without my help!
I remembered to pull out the sweatsuits the day of the wedding and asked our photographer to capture a few professional shots.

If you are wondering about the 3.0 reference it comes from us both being tech geeks. Think of the stages in our relationship like a software release. Dating version 1.0, engaged version 2.0 and married is our latest release. I suggested to a friend who’s getting married this summer to do Established in YYYY instead of the “versions” for her sweatsuits.
It was nice to have something special to wear the day after our BIG day! I even wore the outfit on the plane ride to Italy for our honeymoon. :)
What do you plan on wearing the day after your wedding?
Happy Planning!
