Yes! A velvet dinner jacket with a bow tie and cummerbund and tuxedo trousers (and patent leather black shoes) IS black tie.

Neither my husband nor I are good with change and when my husband and I went for the ultrasound he nervously asked "she's too sick to eat anything other than her vitamins and water, is it ok for her and the baby to go without?" Our doctor just smiled and replied "don't worry, baby takes" I don't know why but that was so funny to us. It kind of became our mantra as we navigate and move our life around that "baby takes," its made it feel more Us vs Change rather than Me vs Him. Thought I'd share

Be honest, fellow HR folx, am I too idealistic?
