Groom and DS Outfit HELP!

5 replies

Soooo... been together 12 years and have DD who is 6 and DS who is 4. We aren't engaged, but decided last month to just get married in a few months. It will be in a registry office, and no-one knows, as we don't want a fuss or any of the 'hassle' as my family live abroad and I just know it would become a big stressfest. So it will just be us, the kids and photographer! Pink jumpsuit already purchased for DS,
I still haven't got a dress (but not too bothered, I'm sure I'll find something ha ha), but struggling to kit out hubby to be and DS. It's not going to be full on formal wear- thinking navy chinos, white shirt, pink tie and a grey suit jacket for the groom and DS. However, as DS is so young (and also quite small for his age), it's quite difficult to get matching suit jackets. M&S do the Mini Me range, but there isn't much choice.

Do you think they need to match exactly? Or does anyone have any other suggestions?
I know it sounds like I have got myself stressed over something quite silly, but as no-one else will be there, I just want the pictures to be perfect and for us to look nice and co-ordinated!!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

They absolutely don't need to match.

Will you be matching your daughter? Grin

Thanks @Littlefish ! I have been telling my partner that they don't need to match, but he says they will look silly otherwise.
Funny how even a tiny little secret wedding can be stressful. I would never cope with a big one 😂

He could wear the same chinos and shirt but no blazer, maybe with a bow tie rather than full tie. Then they’d go together but not match. My DS and DH didn’t wear exactly the same at our wedding (but DS was younger) but they went together.

Their outfits should compliment each other, but they definitely don't have to match.
