My fiance and I are getting married this fall and are making big stretches to pay for a new home, moving costs, our share of the wedding, etc. His parents are taking care of our groomsmen's costs (which are just vest, tie, and shirt, as it's a barn wedding and men are wearing jeans). We felt it unfair to ask the groomsmen to pay for things, especially as one is planning to be married this year and they too are scraping by. On to the question: A few months ago an old friend contacted my fiance, whom he sees maybe once or twice/year. He asked him (along with his three best friends) to be in the wedding. My fiance wa glad to say yes and felt honored although a little odd since they don't talk very often anymore. A few weeks later the friend asked everyone if they would be able to afford their own tux as he "isn't a rich person." (This is after he took his fiance on an elaborate vacation) My fiance said 'yes,' expecting it to be around $80-$90 for an avg tux. The guy asked again a few weeks ago and he said yes. Looking back now I wish I had told my fiance to ask how much they expected the tux to run. However, I didn't. He was fitted this week and the total came to $200. We are scraping by, and need over $1000 just for our own wedding costs plus we're trying to buy a house. Their wedding is in May. Is it too late for my fiance to back out?? No one expected the tux to run so high..especially in this part of the country (we're from a small town..mid-west area). What makes me even more annoyed is my fiance told me they added on all the bells and whistles..nice cuff links, handkerchiefs, etc. What should we do?
