Are you letting your groom pick his own attire?

Don't let him choose, he probably doesn't even want to choose and is just agreeing to to help you out.. the woman/bride to be has earned the right to have total control over her own wedding, if nothing else in life lol. And if you think you haven't earned it, you will after the wedding when real life sets in! lol The wedding is the bride's wedding, the guy just shows up if he loves the woman enough lol. Sorry, thats just the way it is.

I went with him to pick out a tux and tuxes for the groomsmen, but I let him choose what he wanted. The only reason I went with him was because of cohesiveness too, so that he could find vests for the guys that match the bridesmaids dresses.

I told my husband to go ahead and choose all the attire for the men. After all, what do I know about tuxes?! And it was a wonderful surprise for me as well. He has great taste, and he knows the preferences of his guys more than I could. I guess the only input I did have was helping him choose the vest color/pattern for the groomsmen.

It was really nice to have him have that responsibility too...it took one thing off my to do list.

Clearly, weddings are all about the bride and not about the groom. It would work just as well to have the groom just participate by telephone. Therefore it doesn't matter what attire he picks; so you may as well choose it.
