    You're committing to spend the rest of your life with him, and to be the father of your children... yet you're stressing about him buying a suit on his own?

    I hope that he is returning the favour that you're probably doing with your dress, and not letting you see it until the day...

    A lot of men like to keep their suit a secret, just like women do with their dress.

    Personally, I don't understand why in either case, but then i'm not wired right when it comes to weddings. *misery*

    oh i couldnt possibly let my OH see it!

    it's bad luck. I wont even have him near me 24hrs before the wedding.

    I want him to be totally surprised when i see him.

    I dont mind what he wears as long as its smart and everyone matches.

    It's just a silly old superstition that only has any power to give you 'bad luck' if you allow it to.

    I didn't see my b2b on the day of the wedding and I knew nothing about the dress only because she wanted it to be a surprise - nothing to do with luck.

    There are lots of superstitions and traditions around weddings that, if you look at them with a logical head, are a complete load of old twaddle.

    I was planning on leaving the suit choice entirely up to OH but he wanted me to go with him. I kept quite quiet throughout the whole choosing process as I didn't want to feel like I was influencing his decision. When it came to the waistcoats and cravats I got a bit more involved but only because he had no idea what our bridesmaid colours were.

    I love what he has ended up with and think he would have done just as good a job had he chosen without me being there.

    I let OH go pick out the Kilts for the wedding. I only know what tartan he's going to be wearing. But i don't know what any of the guys are going to look like until the day. OH and i decided it would be a good idea to keep each others outfits a surprise!

    Can't wait to see him in his kilt looking all super sexy! Smiley smile

    In fairness, the OP isnt saying she wouldnt marry him if he didnt have the right suit!!!!

    I too am a little nervy about my H2B picking his and the other mens outfits himself, he will be the first to admit he has zero dress sense and had no idea about matching colours (the fact he is blind in one eye doesnt exactly help there) but he wants to do it himself, and I trust him completeley to do it, but am also nervous as he buys things very much on impulse!

    I would just very much like the whole bridal party to co-ordinate, and like another poster said, no Bride has to justify that, and I think most Grooms would agree that it would make for nice photos.

    No one is saying that if the man picks poorly then the wedding is off and to suggest so is rather extreme!
