I'd love my OH to wear a morning suit, but he wants to wear a regular suit :rotfl: Should we swap?!

Should wait till you are married before he starts cross dressing

I want H2B to wear a pair of grey and yellow coverse all stars for the wedding. It'll go really well with our 50s yellow and grey theme and look a bit funky. But he point blank will not entertain the idea and has categorically told me to stop going on about it. I really must stop sulking about it.

From a blokes point of view.....I see his point. I am sure he will be more comfortable in shoes of his choice and he wont let you down. I got married 3 yrs ago and to be honest we were both fairly relaxed about it all. It was a pretty upmarket do. We limited numbers to 60 (max for venue licence) and only invited who we really wanted there. No distant aunts or cousins we never see! There was pressure from family but we had a planner as part of the package who listened to us and sorted any burning issues out. Best day of my life!

I don't know if I'm being an old fuddy duddy but I have to say that the converse would make the groom look like a Dr Who wannabee.....did any see the Don't tell the bride episode where the groom considered wearing something similar? Even he decided in the end to wear a proper pair of shoes and looked the part!

And looking like the David Tennant Doctor is a bad thing how??????

Well, with the same feeling of trepidation you get when stepping onto thin ice...

Whispers very loudly...

Ladies, a reminder

It's the groom's 'big day' too.

He's not just an accessory, to be dressed and shod and painted to match the colour scheme you have chosen.

He's the man you supposedly want to be with till death do you part, for better or worse, no matter how he dresses.

So, seriously, if you're starting to get nippy with him over the shoes he wants to wear, or the colour of tie he has chosen, or the fact that he would rather change into something more comfortable for the reception, or whatever it is that happens to be bugging you...

Maybe it's time to take a step back from the wedding preparations for a bit, and start remembering why you wanted to get married to the guy.

(Having an evening together, where you both agree not to talk about anything to do with the wedding, might do it).

Come on the stamping feet about what the groom is or isn't wearing is totally part of the planning!

We're only having a laugh...

Noctu

My lovely Dune strappy shoes which I bought 1.5 years ago in the sale for the wedding, and tried on a grand total of 5 times indoors, seem to have broken. The heel strap on one of them has somehow got a lot longer and the shoe ends up slipping off when I wear them!
I know it's an easy fix (replace the elastic bit that connects it to the sole) but it's still a little annoying thing especially when they've just been sat in the box in the cupboard!

I totally agree with you, and i know all that, I'm not daft.

a) we're only having a laugh, trust me it's much better to have a sense of humour about these things than let them get you down and
b) we're supposed to be having a very informal wedding, on a bay in Rhodes with just a few family and friends - not a big posh sit down formal affair. I'm only wearing a proper wedding dress because HE made a fuss about me looking like a proper bride...

4nnabella - Lol, I guess all chaps are different aren't they?! We're having a fairly informal affair, with no sit down meal, or speeches or first dance or anything, so I would like his suit to be more informal I guess. I have read some of the threads on that bridezilla thread - they make me laugh! I'm only at the beginning stages of planning, so am still hoping not to turn into a bridezilla, lol!!

Coolcait - its ok, theres no major fallings out over these things. I know exactly why I love and want to spend the rest of the life with my OH. And I do respect that he has his own opinions on what to wear, and I'm not nippy with him in the slightest. I know I will win in the end, so I don't need to worry about these things

Ahem. Thanks coolcait, but I'm just having a little bit of fun. I know exactly why I'm marrying my OH - that would be because I love him and I never want to be without him. I tell him that every day. I would marry him if he turned up in his holey jeans and wrestling t-shirt if that's what he wanted. That doesn't mean I can't complain about him.

Tbh I'm getting a little tired of people thinking that because we're having a big wedding and because I might need to moan about him or blow off a little steam with other stressed brides means I love him any less or am not taking this marriage seriously. We're having a big wedding because we want to celebrate with our families. It just turns out that Irish families are rather huge. we're saving hard to pay for this. It's annoying. I still want to do it though, but forgive me for not wanting my groom to dress like shrek
