My partner and I have a cousins wedding to go to in September. He wants to wear the suit he got married in!!
I think it’s weird and told him to get a new one, he says in being stupid and it’s just clothes, doesn’t mean anything.
Aibu?

Yeah a suit is a suit
It's not like you wearing your wedding dress

Maybe2020 · 11/08/2019 17:14

Married to his EX in! Not me btw

Why shouldn’t he? Wearing clothes just once is very wasteful.

PotteringAlong · 11/08/2019 17:15

It’s fine, you’re being weird about it.

notacooldad · 11/08/2019 17:15

You are definitely being unreasonable!
Why buy something for the sake of it? That's just silly.

toadabode · 11/08/2019 17:15

Yes you're being unreasonable. A suit is a suit. Just mix it up with a different tie and perhaps a different coloured shirt?

why? is it a special looking suit?

friends got married 5 months after me and my DH wore his wedding kilt as a guest

PositiveVibez · 11/08/2019 17:16

I couldn't get worked up about this tbh. Nobody will know or care tbh. Failing to see the issue tbh.

IAskTooManyQuestions · 11/08/2019 17:16

You're the odd one .
No one remembers a blokes suit.

YahBasic · 11/08/2019 17:16

Do you find it weird as in you think it might be overdressed, or as in you only want him to have the memories of your wedding day in that suit?

DH has worn his to two other weddings since, and it’s a lovely reminder of our day. We had dried lavender instead of confetti, and he found some in the pockets when he took it out to wear at a wedding a few weeks ago.

Unless it’s a very unusual colour/so distinctive that people would remember it from your wedding, I see no issue.

sweeneytoddsrazor · 11/08/2019 17:17

How old is this suit?

Alsohuman · 11/08/2019 17:17

Why’s this a problem?

BradTomby · 11/08/2019 17:17

YABU A suit is a suit.

Thehop · 11/08/2019 17:17

Silly to buy another one I reckon.

PowerhouseOfTheCell · 11/08/2019 17:17

Unless the suit has 'I HEART EX WIFES NAME' on the back, YABU

Maybe2020 · 11/08/2019 17:17

I didn’t say in my post.
It was the suit he wore when he married his ex. That’s why I have the problem.

Dandelion1993 · 11/08/2019 17:18

It's just a suit.

MatildaTheCat · 11/08/2019 17:18

Buy him some new pants.

Unless it’s a fancy dress suit nobody would notice and it’s daft to buy a new one if it’s barely been worn.

Hmmmbop · 11/08/2019 17:18

YABU. Presumably he wears other clothes he also wore when with his ex?

jamoncrumpet · 11/08/2019 17:18

I'd think it was weirder if he kept the suit he wore for his wedding to his ex and never wore it again tbh.

What do you want him to do with the suit? Burn it? It’s a waste not to wear it. It doesn’t mean anything.

Benes · 11/08/2019 17:20

It's a suit. No big deal.

I'm assuming he wears other clothes he also wore when was with his ex. It's definitely not worth getting worked up over.

TanMateix · 11/08/2019 17:20

How long ago did he get married? That suit can easily be totally out of date. But more to the point, does it fit?
