In matrimonial fashion, there are a lot of [sentimental details](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/posttoforever) that go into a [bride's outfit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heli-kalkstein), but graphic designer Nick Reeve proves that a [wedding jacket for men](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/menswear-showroom) can be just as much of a romantic keepsake.

Since Reeve met his future wife on a dating site, he created a special suit with lining that contained all of the text messages they exchanged. After exchanging numerous messages that made it clear they were a perfect match for one another, the pair met for a date and two years later, the couple was engaged.

To create the lining of the creative wedding jacket, Reeve consulted a tailor who makes made-to-measure suits. The blocks of text were digitally printed on silk with incredible detail that makes the small font perfectly legible.
