What should the groom's dad wear?
What is the father of the groom supposed to wear to the wedding? I've seen some instances where the groom's dad wears a tux and others where he just wears something nice, like slacks and a shirt. I was under the impression that only the men in the ceremony (i.e., my dad, my FI, and his groomsmen) had to wear a tux. I really don't care what my FFIL wears, just as long as he's comfortable, but my FMIL insists that he should wear a tux (and I should mention that he doesn't want to). Thoughts?

This is the important part here. The fathers can match the groomsmen or not match; it will look fine either way.
Tell him that you are perfectly fine with him wearing a normal suit or whatever he's comfortable in.
This is a belated married bio, with no reviews yet because I'm lazy.
Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284
Both dad's are matching GMs in tuxes...they're having different boutioneres to stand out though
