DH not asked to wear the Wedding Outfit - I think it's a bit mean/thoughtless ?

BIL is getting married at the weekend & I've just found out their dad is wearing the wedding suit...my DH (his brother) hasn't been asked. Of course, being a male, he says he's not bothered..

BUT I AM!!! I don't like the fact that he's been left out/not included.

Am I being silly ?

If he's not being Best Man, or giving the bride away or any role in the wedding party, then what's the fuss. I think you are being unreasonable. Surely by not wearing it, then you are saving a bit of money as you won't have to pay for the hire of it?

At our wedding, DH, best man, groomsman, page boys & ushers wore suits. As did the 2 dads.

Has your dh any part to play?

it won't be all the men, but the men in the wedding party - surely as family, DH would be in the wedding party ?

MJ - is DH part of the Groomsmen??

Know how you feel. MY DH was an usher at his brothers wedding. But he was the only one not to be included at the top table - all the others were thier with thier DW or DG's. But they were all SIL friends or brothers.

I mean wedding suit

No, his dad isn't doing anything other than be his dad.

At my wedding I included BIL, for no other reason than I didn't want him to be left out

Sorry, I agree with Nailpolish. all men wearing the same suit to a wedding looks naff.

nailpolish · 28/03/2007 10:24

am pmsl @ 'wedding suit'

i keep thinking birthday suit...

saltire · 28/03/2007 10:23

Sorry, I'm not getting this "wedding suit" thing, what is it?

chipmonkey · 28/03/2007 10:21

Ok, when we got married, the morning suit was worn by the groom, best man, groomsman and the two Dads, no-one else. I think you are being a tad unreasonable.

MerlinsBeard · 28/03/2007 10:18

i don't understand what this wedding suit thng is?

As far as i know the groom and bestman wear the same suit...is their dad the best man?

nailpolish · 28/03/2007 10:17

i find the whole male 'wedding party' wearing the same 'suit' corny and a bit common tbh

but then im scottish and here each male wears his own clan tartan kilt

hippmummy · 28/03/2007 10:16

that should be wear of course!

Iklboo · 28/03/2007 10:16

Can you hire something similar? Would they mind if you did?

hippmummy · 28/03/2007 10:15

Do you know why? Maybe it's to do with budget.
Is he the best man? If not he probably wouldn't be expected to where the same.

KittyLetteMeEatAnEasterEgg · 28/03/2007 10:15

if hes not bothered why should you be?

pesme · 28/03/2007 10:15

krabbiepatty · 28/03/2007 10:15

beckybrastraps · 28/03/2007 10:13
