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

[Mojomummy]

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 ?

He should go dressed as Barbara off the Bounty advert

Left out!?!...Surely we are not 4 years old!

Men all wearing the same suit looks ridiculous but then I am from the kilt wearing land & kilts are fabulous!

this is why everyone should sod off to Las Vegas and get married in 2 mins without any fuss or angst

never heard of wedding suits

are these the ones with tails that reach their knees at the back?

"the wedding outfit" wtf? My dh bought a suit from ... er ... somewhere I can't remember - but he bought it and has worn it since. couldnt be doing with all that top hat and tails crap.

I hate this Morning suit business. It looks weird all dressed the same and tbh half the time they all look damn uncomfortable> We had a mixture of outfits including our family tartan, cornish tartan, ordinary suits. Only the best man and the groon (DH) wore the same (nero jackets, waistcoats and cravats - DH's choice). You woldn't expect female mebers of close family who weren't bridesmaids to wear the same.

Yes you are being unreasonable, I wouldn't worry about it especially as your dh isn't bothered.

Mojomummy fwiw I agree with you a bit about not liking the fact he's not been included.

We paid for a couple of (very) close family who weren't in the actual wedding party, to have suits, as we wanted them all to feel included and a special part of the day. That's just my values and ideas on the subject though, so don't slate me for it!

But I agree that if your dh isn't bothered then it's no big deal

NEVER, EVER worry about wedding rituals, table plans, hierarchies, status things etc. The decisions you make when you're planning a wedding have to take into account a load of factors that aren't apparent from the outside and should under no circumstances be taken as straightforward reflections of how someone feels about someone else.
Life's too short.

(Good for you for not making a fuss!)

Im getting married this year, and in the middle of organising things. All i can say is

DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH IT COSTS TO HIRE A WEDDING SUIT??? A LOT

I am loving this thread, as part of my research into the Utter Bleedin' Pointlessness Of Weddings.

i couldnt have given 2 shits what people wore to my wedding

i t DOES cost a lot to hire a suit or anything formal

but does what you wear REALLY matter?

really really really?

weddings are nice excuses for a Good Party.

would you really want to wear the same outfit as someone else?

"not being included" is eg not being invited

I would boycott the wedding over this issue.

Draw the line right here.

Yes you are being unreasonable. And petty.
