Cmgr I never said it was my wedding. Actuallly my daughter accidentally asked the question when I was logged in to TK and I cleared it up as quickly as I could. Note my name on here - Cookies MOM.
Every decision about the wedding is for my DD and her FI to make. All that was asked for was an opinion. I don't care if they have pink and purple polka dot tuxes or suits or whatever, as long as they are happy. I was just amused by the controversy and the outdated thinking included on the website I had read. Neither my daughter nor I were trying to deceive anyone.

DISAGREE!! The couple together can make the decision on this.
OP, I think brown would look amazing! I have seen a few weddings with brown tuxes and they looked great. Especially for a fall wedding! My best friend is doing sage green dresses with orange and white flowers and brown tuxes, its going to be beautiful!

dear god, who gives a rats behind if a "tux" is black or brown or green or purple? No one. There is no rule that states a tuxedo must be black. that's like saying a wedding dress must be white.. absurd
and please, with the "YOUR FI GETS THE CALL!".. if left up to his own devices, my FI would probably show up in a plaid tuxedo (and yes, even if it's plaid, it would still be a tuxedo) with work boots. not every dude gives a crap what they're wearing. Mine certainliy doesn't.
wear whatever color you'd like.. if you really think that in 15 yrs brown suits/tuxes/outfits will be out of style, just make sure to order a lot of B&W photos. Then it won't matter what color it is .
