...Boston marathon tends to draw out a vein of exhibitionism in runners. Why elso would someone sweat out the course in a full tuxedo as one runner did Monday? "It's like the race is a parade and the runners are floats, only better," one runner said. Another hint for you prospectives: wear something catchy so the crowd will yell for you it can carry you through the race.

Says the manager of Los Angeles Tuxedo Center: "There is definitely a return to the '30s look ?chic, elegant tuxedos." In Chicago, I. Magnin's bridal-wear sales are up 70% over last year. After the era of write-it-yourself Kahlil Gibran barefoot weddings, the large traditional marriage ritual and reception are returning...
