Choosing the wedding day attire for my groom was the easiest and most painless decision made for our wedding to date. Since our wedding is pretty formal, he knew he wanted to wear a tux. Since there is only one tux shop in the city we’re getting married in, you can guess where we went!
We sat and chatted with the saleslady about the wedding details, and she plopped a large binder down that held all of his options. To ensure he got the style that he wanted, not the one I suggested, I looked over his shoulder as he went through the book and never said a word. Mr. M has pretty good taste, and actually probably owns more clothes than I do (we each have our own walk-in closets with way too many clothes) so I knew he’d pick a nice one. After looking at all of the different styles, there was a clear winner from my point of view, but I waited to see which style he liked best before I gave my opinion. I was happy (but not surprised) when he chose the very same style I was hoping he would as his favorite!
My groom will be waiting for me at the altar, looking dapper in his two button black and ivory pinstriped suit with a white shirt and an ivory vest and tie! He’ll be wearing exactly what the model is wearing in this photo, and I know he’s going to look gooooood.
In total, the entire experience, including fitting, picking shoes, getting details for the groomsmen, etc. took approximately a half hour. Seriously, why is it always so easy for men?
Was your groom’s attire a quick and easy decision? Did you agree with what he picked out?
Miss Mascara - just a note - it looks like the model is wearing a black vest - so if you like the look you may want to consider that. 
Haha. No, definitely more than 30 minutes. I am marrying what is known as a “metrosexual.” We had to try ALL the different options. He looked at numerous tuxes, in magazines, and looked at four different locations. Total hours spent looking for groom attire: 8hours+!!!
The last place he looked, he tried on tuxes for three hours straight!!!
We’re going with white dinner jackets and black tuxedo pants. Whoo!
My FI picked his tux out in five minutes. Then spent the rest of the day chiding me for having spent over three months to find a dress!
Very nice look! I knew early on that I wanted the guys in gray tuxes….I was just hoping the FI would go for it. I’d already bought their ties and was about to purchase the socks for them but still didn’t know what kind or color shirt to go with. We took a trip to a local mens shop and the sales guy was very friendly, helpful and honest. Check out my blog for our final look!
Oh, it wasn’t easy for my guy. He thought he was Mr. Suave or something and was super picky about what he wanted to wear. 
It was so easy for my FI. It took us 30 minutes. Fifteen minutes of that was filling out forms. The suit you guys picked look great.
My husband hemmed and hawed and touched everything in the tux rental place tried on a bunch of jackets and eventually settled on…exactly the outfit from the cover of their catalog. His mother will never believe that he picked it himself.
@kpenn: Yep, thanks for calling me out on that one. He’ll be wearing a black vest, not ivory!
Hot look! We’re doing something similar but without the pinstripes (although I sure wish he would want them!!).
This is a VERY nice look!!! And wow for making quick decisions!!!
He’s going to look great!
Our decision was not so easy I think we’ve spent more time trying to get his outfit than I spent picking out my dress (and we are not done yet!!). sidenote: He is not metro in any way, so I’m really not sure where this is all coming from!
Ooooo, I loooove pinstripes, but not everyone can carry them off without looking like a banker or one of the cast members of Guys and Dolls. 
Your groom is going to look oh-so dapper!
