Groomsmen/Usher Dilemma

MrsBoss2012

Dilemma: Originally my brother wasn't a groomsmen so I made he and my cousin ushers. Now my FI has added my brother. Will it be weird if he's ushering in a tux and my cousin is not? I'm not making cousin get a tux. Then I also don't want to just give the job to another groomsmen because I already asked my cousin. We have utilized all the guys in our age group so either I pull from groomsmen or let the cousin go. I know guys aren't as sentimental as girls but it doesn't seem right to take away his duty. Thoughts?

I think its okay if one of them is in a tux. Esp if you really want the cousin to still be a part. If I could afford to I might gift the cousin a tux rental if you really want both dressed the same.

I think its fine as well. Its your wedding, do what you want!

I don't think it's a big deal. If your cousin is wearing a black suit no one will be able to tell a difference.

I second the black suit for the cuz

Our groomsmen are wearing grey tuxes so I was already going to ask him to wear grey slacks and a white shirt. I am not paying for him to get a tux! LOL I just wanted to make sure it wouldn't look too odd.

<div>Maybe gift him a tie that matches the groomsmen ties. But I think you should be fine. No one will notice nor will they care <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-laughing.gif" border="0" alt="Laughing" title="Laughing" /></div>
