Hi I am getting married this fall. The color sceme is a black and white. The Best Man is in a military college (has not served in service yet.) My mother in law and best man(her son) wants him in his dress blus for the wedding. I say no because then the groom will not stand out. I believe he should be in a tux that matches the rest of the wedding party (4 of them). HELP?? Should he be wearing his dress blues or not, also I still have strong feeling about him not actually serving. My Dad was a Marine I would expect him to be in uniform not someone that started college.
Either way of dress is fine etiquette wise but you may want to consider the long term affects of your decison (putting off your mother in law to be and soon to be brother in law). Decide how important this is to you and discuss it with your fiance. You and your bride should make this decision together. If the two you want her brother to be in the same wedding attire as the rest of the groomsmen then have your bride tell her brother that this is her desire.
