Yes! We are doing this. My fiance is from the South and it is the tradition. It is perfect for our full Catholic mass at 7 p.m. followed by a cocktail reception. I thought it was a little formal at first until I saw it in person. And it means a lot to my fiance and her family.

I don't have any pictures on my computer, but I'll hijack some off my fiance's when I'm over at his apartment and post this weekend. I do have pictures of my fiance and I as guests at a black tie preferred. Down South, most of my fiance's family and friends wear tuxes. Here in DC, that is pretty typical too, but only a few of my relatives own tuxes and will probably wear suits. A lot of my male relatives are lawyers so they have pretty sweet custom suits which look nicer than most tuxes in my opinion.

My fiance is "Society South" so he actually owns one and most of our guys do too but some of the groomsmen (like my little brother) are renting. They are the same price as regular tuxes.
