Wedding Woes

Bridezilla and the double duty suit

Dear Prudence,
My fiancé is going to be a groomsman in his close friend’s wedding this summer. He bought the suit for the wedding and wants to wear it first to another friend’s wedding on the other side of the country. The two sets of engaged friends don’t know each other. When he mentioned wearing the suit twice to his close friend, it wasn’t an issue. But then the bride found out and she is completely offended. Mutual friends have taken her side, saying my fiancé is wrong to buy a suit for their wedding and wear it first to another wedding. To me it’s just a suit, and what does it matter? My fiancé feels terrible putting his close friend in the middle of this mess. I want to know if the bride is being a diva, or is there a rule of etiquette concerning double-duty suits?

Re: Bridezilla and the double duty suit

  • OMG - just tell the crazy bridezilla that you bought 2 suits.  Is this really worth typing a letter to Prudie?
  • Here is why that one future SIL was all wigged out about having to tell the bride about her son's senior football game thing.  That bride has lost her damn mind and someone needs to tell her to STFU.  It's a suit.  

    Since the cat is out of the bag, I'd tell all of them to STFU or pony up the cash to buy another suit, none of them are in charge of this person's finances.
  • I want to know what this suit looks like.  Either the bride is straight-up crazy, to the point of barely functioning IRL, or the issue is the suit itself, not who wears it where first.  Sorry, but years of TK have taught me that some LWs are not reliable narrators.
