Suits for Wedding

I am going to write this as calmly as I can, because I am so frustrated and hurt. My FI wanted the groomsmen to buy suits for our wedding. I thought that was a great idea, becasue FI needs a nice suit and I know the best man and the two groomsmen would also want one in their professions. We are getting married On June 26th 2010 less than two months My FI kept dragging his feet about the suit issue, so last weekend we went with my mom and dad to try on suits. We were going to do this with his groomsmen when we were at his familys home a month ago, but fI dad said to pick out a good suit, and they had to work on the yard that day. So back to the present we went this past weekend, and found suits at Men's Wearhouse They have a promo going on to buy one suit an get the other for a 100. We did that and FI and my dad got a two button two vent suit. My mom told my FI that the groomsmen didn't have to get the same suit from mens wearhouse but just a suit that had two buttons, and two vents. Well yesterday and today I have found out that the best man and one of the groomsmen are upset because they already have suits, and FI and best man and groomsmen feel that it doesnt matter what the suit blazer looks like as long as it is black. I tried to tell FI that they would just need to get a blazer with a two button two vent if they already bought the pants. On a side note my mom bought all the ties for the five men( FI, daddy, FI dad, and the two groomsen. FI is now pissed and saying that we are being demading wanting the suits to have two vents and two buttons, he says that its not going to matter. I am upset because I am not trying to cause any drama. Please give me any advice

Re: Suits for Wedding

  • Agree with PP, no one will notice. Focus on you and your FI and your special day and the rest of your life together. In a year you won't remember what the groomsmen were wearing.
  • It's not going to matter, seriously.

    We told our guys just to wear black suits with matching ties we supplied. The BM showed up that day in a charcoal pinstriped jacket. We gave them their bouts and ties, and you know what? On the wedding day, I was so happy all day that I didn't care one bit. You can see in my married bio, the BM really sticks out. But I still have really fond memories of the day.

  • All of the guys in our wedding party have different black suits.  Take a breather and look in my married bio.  They all look great.  I don't even notice if they have a one, two, or three button jacket.  It will be fine, just let it go.  Less stress for you.
