Why's he wearing a white suit? Sounds very old fashioned--but back in those days, a lot of men wore white suits (with blue ruffle shirts, lol) but even then, white was what the groom wore often, too. How old is FFIL? I'd try to approach the topic differently with your FI--show him something that says "yeah, etiquette says..." so he can lightly correct his father (who proably has no idea). Ugh, a stark white suit, lol. I'm not a fan
@ejs4ye - That's what I thought when I heard it. But he's only like 45! (Fiance is 23) I told my fiance that it was bad etiquette but neither him or his family are concerned with etiquette so...idk... I kind of think it will be more funny than anything but I don't want my family thinking he's the groom lol.
Well..I guess if you can't talk him out of it it's not the end of the world...I mean I usually only think of the bride wearing white and the groom just wearing a black suit. It would be a whole other ballgame if it was, say, his mom wanting to wear a white cocktail dress! lol. I would just let it go.
Thats really odd that he wants to wear an all white suit! I would maybe try and sit down with your fiance-you could always show him this post, or try to explain proper etiquette says...
I dont think you are over-reacting, I would be upset too, because like you said, the groom or bride are the only ones to wear all white.
thats a bit odd! I'm not a fan of white suits anyway - but I wouldn't be too bothered -It's not a white dress that someone's wearing so.....
who owns a white suit? is it linen or something? yeah im not a fan, not because of the etiquette but because its just ugly :) lol is there a FMIL that can cut him off at the pass? i doubt she would want him in an all white suit either.....?
@spaganya - lol. FMIL and FFIL are divorced and knowing her, she wouldn't see his suit as a problem.
I think it's ok... it's not like anyone will think he's the bride!
I don't see what the big deal is. I think a white suit can look really sharp and there are many sleek, modern ones. http://whitesuit.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/White-suit-by-Dolce-Gabbana.jpg

It's not like anyone's going to mistake your FIL for the bride or anything. If he wants to wear it, I personally would let him. Sounds cool.
ETA: just saw northernarizonabride wrote the same thing about not mistaking him for the bride haha.
LOL well i guess if he thinks its a good idea then it wont look TOO bad - cant be any worse than someone wearing spandex when they shouldnt - hes making the bad fashion choice not you - and no worries they wont mistake him for the bride :)

I overheard my fiance's dad saying that he wanted to wear a "clean white suit." I didn't say anything but later when I mentioned it to my fiance, he said I was overreacting. I told him noone but me or the groom is supposed to wear white and this was shocking to him. He doesn't think it's a big deal and was kind of annoyed with me. Am I wrong? I'm not close enough to FFIL to say anything and I don't want to be the "nagging b." that fiance is going to marry. Sigh. Should I just let it go?
