My fiance and I were discussing the tuxedos that he and the groomsmen would be wearing. He told me that his best man already owns a tuxedo so he will not need to rent one, and that he probably wouldn't rent one if asked. I told my fiance that my concern is whether his bestman's tux will match everyone else, but he replied that the bestman should look a little different from the rest. Even if the tuxedo suit isn't a big deal, the other issue is the accessories (shoes, vest, tie, etc.) I don't want to argue with him about this. What should I do? What is the proper etiquette for the groom and his groomsmen attire? Should I just let it be and let him do whatever he wants, or put my foot down on this matter? HELP! Thanks in advance.

Dear Binxgal,
It is my opinion that it is a honor to be in a wedding party, and by no means should this guy compromise your wedding by not agreeing to rent a tuxedo because he already owns one. What will it cost him, maybe $150 or less? If it's such a big deal for him, then let him have the free tuxedo that the tuxedo shop will give (normally the groom takes it). Come on, this is a special day, dont let this guy ruin it. The wedding party should look uniform, not the best man standing out; only the groom should stand out.
