FI and I went out with his cousin and his cousin's wife last night for the first time since we got engaged. His cousin is a groomsman in the wedding; my fiance was a groomsman in his wedding about 15 years ago.
We were discussing the wedding and my fiance brought up the fact they would need to go for tux fittings around August and that they were about $60-$70 each with shoes.
Cousin's wife said, "remember we paid for your tux and the girls dresses." I didn't react, but fiance said "oh, we'll pay for the tux if you want." Then she said, "it's ok, i'm just messing with you."
Now I feel like we should be paying for everyone's tuxes and dresses. I've already been feeling guilty about other people having to pay for clothing for our wedding...I know it's standard, but I still feel a little weird about it. We got a great deal on tuxes (buy one get one, so every one pays 50%), and the girls can pick out their own dresses within certain guidelines (same fabric, knee lengh, specific color), so they can shop around and find the best price instead of having to pay $150 for an Alfred Angelo dress.
Cousin's parents paid for their wedding 15 years ago...fiance and I are paying the bill for ours...should I just let it go? Is anyone else paying for their attendent's clothing??
