The bridesmaids are wearing teal (a last minute change from black)
FI is wearing a grey suit, white shirt and we're still deciding on the tie.
Fi wants groomsman to wear black suits, white shirts, and we're still deciding on ties.
Then FI told me last night that he doesn't want GM to have to buy a black suit. I said they could just rent one and he said he doesn't want them to spend any money. I asked what he wanted them to wear and he said they could all just wear a suit they already own.
He has 8 men standing with him and I know for a fact that at least three of them already own a black suit, and none of them are destitute or anything. I know GM wear is up to the man, and maybe I'm being overbearing, but I just don't think it looks right to have FI in grey, a few in black, and the rest in whatever they had laying around.
I think people agree to be in WP knowing they'll spend a little bit of money. I don't think asking them to procure a black suit is out of line, but I honestly have no idea how groomsmen work.
