Gay attendant, Transgender Father, Catholic future in-laws!!!

So, my fiance is from a very right wing old school fire and brimstone Catholic family. His sister is gay and dresses like a man. She is one of my bridesmades. Would it be terribly tacky if her tux matched the groomsmen? Plus, my father decided that this year, the year his only daughter is getting married to transform into a woman! S/he said that wearing a tux was fine, but s/he decided to get breast implants as well.

Personally, I don't care at all what my dad decides to wear or what my fiance's family thinks. But I do care about my dad and sister in law stealing the attention, at least during the ceremony.

  • Let them wear what they feel most comfortable in. If that's a tux, fine.

    You're the bride, so all eyes will be on you anyway. Anyone too taken aback by your father or SIL to pay attention is probably there for the wrong reasons.
  • I don't see a reason why the sister couldn't be one of the groom's attendants and stand on his side, unless you two are particularly close.   I just bring that point up in case you hadn't considered it.

    Whichever side she stands on, she can certainly wear a tuxedo to match the groomsmen. 

    As PP said, they're definitely not going to steal your thunder.  They might get a few double takes, but I doubt you'll even notice.

  • I think tux would be great for his sister.  I also agree that it would make more sense for her to stand on his side since she is his sister unless you too are very close.  

    I also don't think they will steal the attention.  They may get a second look, but most things that are new or different do.  
  • yep. agree with PP's

    This might work for either of them, really.   If the groomswoman wants to match the groomsmen, that's totally fine.

    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
