For those who are traveling, which we know will be a bunch of you, we have scoped out the hotel situation. We found two very nice options just a short drive from the church. We have talked to the managers at both places and if you let them know that you are with the King/Ray wedding party, they will give you a special rate!
1) Hampton Inn
2107 Hwy 72 West
Corinth, MS 38834
662-286-5949
Manager: Caroline Butler
Rate: $84.00 per night + tax
Hampton Inn appears to be new construction and has a modern look to it. I think it has the bigger breakfast bar of the two.
2) Holiday Inn Express
2106 Hwy 72 West
Corinth, MS 38834
662-287-1407
Manager: Barbara Wilbanks
Rate: $88.00 per night + tax
Holiday Inn Express is newly remodeled. It has a pretty swanky lobby and a nice breakfast as well. It shares a parking lot with Ruby Tuesday's.
As you can see by the addresses, they are right across the street from each other. They are on Hwy 72 @ Hwy 45. They are both nice and I don't think you can go wrong with either option.

Tux Info... (and the whole story)
Well... the Tux situation has been an adventure to say the least. Most of the places in Corinth don't stock the tuxes in house. You have to order them from a book or website. I am not real keen on that idea. I just wanted to try it on and see what everything looked like in person. So, in order to do that I went to a warehouse in Jackson a few weeks ago to try some on (the supplier for a place in Corinth). When I called back to the place in Corinth to tell them what I what I picked, they said, "We aren't doing tuxes anymore". So, after I about had a come-apart with the very rude lady on the phone... we started over at square one!
All that to say, today we found a wonderful place to get great tuxes at a really good price. They are the only place in Corinth that has them in house. We went and tried everything on and it was great! The two ladies there were VERY nice and helpful. And, the tuxes are a better quality and less expensive than the others I tried on.
So, if you are one of my groomsmen you need to get the following measurements from a local tux place:
Height, Chest, Overarm, Waist, Outseam, Neck Size, Sleeve, Shoe size
All tux shops measure for others for free. The nicer a place you go to the better chance they will measure correctly.
Then call B & J's Formals 662-287-3023
Talk to Demetra or Desire (Dez-a-ray). They are super sweet and helpful. You can pay for everything when you pick it up. I don't remember the exact total but I know it was about $95 total for everything.
