Hi guys, my fiance's groomsman was over last night, and when it was mentioned that we had a retail group opened at moore's to make shopping easy on the guys, the GM responded that he thought he would just wear a suit he already has. This suit is brown and kind of manky (he's not the most style conscious guy...), and he wants to wear a green shirt and tie with it. Our colours are coral and metallics.
I don't want to be a brat about it, but we have asked the guys to wear khaki dockers and an ivory dress shirt, sleeves rolled with no tie, very beachy and not formal. The other 2 GM have no problem with this, and our bridesmaids are all matching. Just to be clear, I don't care if they are walmart khakis and a borrowed shirt, I'd just like the guys to look approximately the same. I tried to make this clear to him last night, but he just kept saying "nah, I've already got the suit, I'll just wear that."
This guy is kind of oblivious and very stubborn, and didn't get my hints that I would REALLY like it if he would not wear that gross old suit. How do I (or hopefully my fiance, as this is his friend and his problem as far as I'm concerned) get this guy to come around?
~ Also, people might rag on me for this being none of my business, but I'm 99.9% sure that money is not the problem. He is notoriously cheap though...
