Weddings can get expensive fast, especially for the wedding party.

The following story involves a man who was asked to buy a custom-made suit as a groomsman in his brother’s wedding.

He pushed back because he was not willing to pay for a suit out of his own pocket.

Do you agree with his decision? Read the full story below.

AITA for thinking it’s unreasonable to buy a single use suit to be a groomsman?

I’m a groomsman in my brother’s wedding.

He is now talking about having all the groomsmen wear matching custom-made suits.

They would not be rentals.

Each of us would be expected to pay for our own.

This man pushed back on the idea.

I pushed back.

I said I am happy to follow a general dress code.

I said I could coordinate accessories.

I am not willing to buy a custom suit chosen by the couple for their wedding.

He thinks the couple should not force their wedding party to buy a single-use outfit.

In my view, if the groom and bride want the wedding party to fully match, then they should pay for it.

If they do not want to pay, then the normal alternative is a simple dress code like “dark suit, white shirt.”

It should not involve forcing people to buy a single-use outfit.

That is exactly how I handled it at my own wedding.

Now, he’s wondering if he is wrong in saying no.

We paid for the bridesmaids’ matching dresses.

The groomsmen just wore suits they already owned.

I bought bow ties for everyone.

AITA for saying no unless the suits are paid for or rented?
