We had to re-arrange our appointment because of the snow (thank god it has gone!) and in that time I am now questioning whether I should go to the appointment or let h2b go alone with the best man? I woud like to go because I will ask all the questions that h2b won't even think of (such as pageboys, collection, fittings etc.) and be able to pick the right colour cravat to match bridesmaids, but I don't want to intrude. What did everyone else do? xx

Getting married 29th June 2013!
CommentAuthorGlitterfairy
I went but only because it was unplanned. I was leaving it up to hubby what the men wore, but we were by the suit hire place so we decided to pop in and have a browse and ended up picking some, totally different to what we had planned as well. My original plan was for him to go on his own with the boys.

my h2b picked what he wanted and i went and orderd them, only because i was out with my parents. he got what he wanted.
CommentAuthorPenguinJ
I picked the ones I liked and its what h2b liked too! We both went with his bestman so h2b could try them on and make sure we like them! Just need to go with his mum when paying deposits so she can help pick waistcoats as we are undecided between 3 of them! Xxx

Hubby chose his suit but took me with him as he wasn't sure of the blue of the shirt and wanted to make sure that the light suit looked OK with the dark shirt. He decided what he wanted to wear from day one though and that was fine with me.

I went with H2B because I wanted to make sure he had the right shades so I can match my bridesmaid to the suit colours.
I'll probably go to the first fitting as well just to see what it looks like on.
CommentAuthorTatty
I think I'll be going with him but only because he will get fed up really quickly and want to leave. lol. x

CommentAuthorJennyHeather
H2B was pretty excited and loved choosing the suits and them being put together I was like you big girl lol!!
CommentAuthorMrsA-J
Id like it to be a surprise...he doesnt see my dress...i dont want to see his suit...
I find him rather dabba in a suit haha Might not be able to control myself in the shop haha
CommentAuthorMrsLJDeaton
Good point MrsA-J H2B doesn't get to see our dress so they should be able to keep there suit in the shadows too but us as brides to be worry they won't get the colours right they will not match the bridesmaids etc... you know how picky we get =D ♥ X

CommentAuthorx~Hails~x
In my opinion no! He's a grown man and has been dressing himself for god knows how many years and you obviously like the way he dresses so TRUST HIM! This is his wedding day to so the only thing Ive told my h2b is that he has to have red or ivory cravets (cravets was his choice) to go with the color theme apart from that its all down to him as he is the one who has to wear it all day! I pick my dress and the bridesmaids he picks his suit and the mens........only fair!
He's still unsure of his family's kilt or a suit so will be a surprise for me on the day hehehe

CommentAuthorNinaDawson
See, i can't really comment properly, cause h2b just bought a normal suit from primarni yesterday, and it was spur of the moment. So yeah i was there, but it was gonna be a boys day out. i think it's nice for them to have a lads day

CommentAuthorGlitterfairy
Even though I was with him when he chose the suits, I was not there at the fittings, that was with himself, his brother and our two boys. My big boys went in themselves to be measured up. I never actually saw hubby in his until the day though.

CommentAuthorvicki
I went with my OH when he bought his kilt, but that was just because I was paying the deposit for it, he chose the specific tartan that he wanted and which jacket he was going to wear
CommentAuthorJoanna
I'm not going. He didn't have any input into my dress so why should I have an input into his suit? Also, there's so many wedding things for us girls to do and going to get suits is one of the few wedding things that just the boys can do
The greatest thing you'll ever learn
is just to love and be loved in return

CommentAuthorStacyT
i went because we were unsure if we wanted to stick with a short suit or go tradition and have a tail suit. i prefer the colours to match and wanted grey, my OH has chosen a grey stripe trouser with black jacket and ivory waistcoat. i said it was up to him what he wanted to wear and his choice, i just wanted to see it. x x
Cant wait to become Mrs Ellerington!!!!!
CommentAuthorJillianL47
I went to the suit try on along with my parents and his - it was the only way to get both dads to try on their suits. My H2B is rubbish at decisions so 'we' choose together. Now to get the best men to be sized up!
CommentAuthorPenguinJ
but yeh i definitely would go with them/him :) xxx
So lucky to be marrying my soulmate on 18/07/20

CommentAuthorMrs-Mouse-2-be
I voted yes even though we aren't picking them yet. Well he is picking the suits but I will be there and this is because if I think a certain suit does not look right I will tell him though ultimately I think the choice will be his.

i wanted to but h2b wouldnt let me but i wasnt happy when he came back and told me what hed chosen.lol. hes going down saturday to pay deposit so ill be seeing them then.lol

CommentAuthorVelcro
If he wants me to, I'll go, if he doesn't I'll trust his judgment enough to get something suitable. I know he wants a grey suit, not sure what shade, but I'll just send him off with some blue material that it needs to match for the thingies that go in thier pockets and the button holes. I want his outfit to be a surprise as well - i know theres not really much variation with suits lol, but id still not like to see it if i can help it til the day :)
