FI and I have already decided where our tuxes are coming from. In fact, he and the groomsmen have already been measured...out of necessity because the store called us out of the blue a couple weeks ago to tell us that the vests we chose were being discontinued. and we needed to get everyone fitted ASAP if we still wanted to have them. That was super stressful, but not the point of this post. Right now, the GMs are wearing plum vests and ties to coordinate with the BM dresses. FI's vest and tie are pale yellow because that's the wedding's accent color, and also for a really complicated and nerdy reason that would take way too much explaining for this post. Basically, we each have a color that represents us, and wearing each other's color signifies that we belong to each other. Like I said, nerdy. Anyway, I've been having doubts about this lately, ever since I told one of the GMs about the color scheme and he made a wisecrack about FI looking like a marshmallow peep. I don't want my groom to look like a peep! I talked it over with FI already and he doesn't care whether he wears the yellow or something else. He has said he doesn't want white or ivory, so that's out. And we looked at gold when we picked the tuxes, but the options there were either too gaudy or too brown looking. So right now the options are stick with the yellow, change to black, or something else I haven't thought of yet. And while I'm on the subject of tuxes, what do you ladies plan on having your dads wear? We haven't picked vest and tie color for my dad, my stepdad, or FI's dad yet, and I'm not sure what to do with that. Especially because my parents are divorced and remarried and I'm having them both escort me down the aisle, so my dad would need to coordinate with both my mom's dress and his wife's! Maybe just black vests and ties for the dad tuxes? What are your thoughts on this?
