that you have to pay for your tux if your the groomsman in a wedding!!!

my boys gettin married in May, and im 1 of the 4 groomsmen. he calls me yesterday to ask hot to work youtube to mp3 converter, and then chimes in like "o yeah the tux's are $439 dollars" im like damn man your're gonna have to pay alot for 5 of them...and hes like "son, you pay for it yourself"

WTFFFFFFFF!!!!! i'm not the one getting married, nor did I choose to be a groomsmen (even though its cool and I wanna be one) why the F should I have to pay for anything

7/16/2008 2:40:53 PM

why not just rent?

7/16/2008 2:41:33 PM

^i think that is the price to rent, i dont really know he didnt specify....i was to in initial "i thought weddings were freakin free unless your the one getting married" shock to ask

7/16/2008 2:43:27 PM

sometimes when i look at the price for a tuxedo rental, i wonder...



why not just buy?

7/16/2008 2:43:51 PM

Yeah, wtf, why not just rent the tux. You are going to use it for one day.

7/16/2008 2:43:56 PM

GOD DAMN THATS AN EXPENSIVE TUX TO RENT

7/16/2008 2:44:32 PM

well, if you figure in all the extra shit like shoes and cufflinks, it can come out to around that price pretty easy

7/16/2008 2:44:59 PM

Papyrus

7/16/2008 2:45:51 PM

haha, not really
i was in a wedding last year wearing rented Hilfiger tuxedos and it was less than 150 total for everything

[Edited on July 16, 2008 at 2:46 PM. Reason : ^stop looking at my edited post ]

7/16/2008 2:46:15 PM

i've never heard of a tux costing that much to rent.

uh, if you are going to be in the wedding you did.

7/16/2008 2:46:18 PM

^^he did mention that the shoes were included

7/16/2008 2:46:25 PM

must be a theme wedding

7/16/2008 2:47:08 PM

less than $150 total?! damn they must have gotten a deal or something, cuz that sounds like that it was just the jacket shirt and pants. shoes and all that other crap is extra. plus, the designer tuxes should be more. you sure youre not lowballing?

7/16/2008 2:48:18 PM

i think you're getting ripped. or they are getting ripped.


unless the motherfucker is getting married in egyptian cotton

7/16/2008 2:49:42 PM

lavender blue

7/16/2008 2:50:34 PM

he must have went with what the bride wanted all the groomsmen to wear, cuz they must have rented the most expensive tuxedo possible

7/16/2008 2:51:38 PM

yeah im talking to the other groomsman on aim, he says it's expensive b/c he's getting Joseph Abboud tux's...and there like 1G to buy 400+ to rent.....WTF!!!!!!

Signed. We had a similar deal going at my bro's wedding. It was $150 or so for each of our tuxes with shoes.

I think you just got ripped.

[Edited on July 16, 2008 at 2:53 PM. Reason : ^ That's retarded.]

7/16/2008 2:53:04 PM

dude, you can buy a brand new Wool Hilfiger tux for less than 200

7/16/2008 2:53:25 PM

you're getting ripped off. I bought mine and had it severely altered for less than that.

7/16/2008 3:08:39 PM

You should own a tux anyway

You never know when you're gonna need one

I have 3

7/16/2008 3:09:27 PM

If you're not an average build and you want to look decent in the wedding photos, it helps to own a tux.

7/16/2008 3:11:16 PM

Fail for using the words "my boys gettin married"

7/16/2008 3:19:14 PM

Do they even take in the waists in the jackets of rented tuxes ?

7/16/2008 3:20:26 PM

the tux i rented when one of my friends was getting married came out to be around 150 dollars. That included everything...

7/16/2008 3:21:25 PM

no, they do not alter the "sides" of the jacket when you rent.

7/16/2008 3:21:55 PM

yeah, those are expensive ass tuxes. I can almost guarantee his fiance picked them out

7/16/2008 4:27:44 PM

TRUTH

7/16/2008 4:47:57 PM

^^OF COURSE SHE F'ING DID!!!! her moms like some kinda fashion writer/buyer/seller..i dunno..for some magazine..not a big one some small local one..SO SHE'S ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE!!!

7/16/2008 4:51:19 PM

Rule #1 in a wedding: The guy pics the tuxes, the girl pics everything fucking else.

Atlas did that- he's apparently used it enough times now where having rented each time would've been more expensive over all.

7/16/2008 4:53:37 PM

never been to a wedding in my life

7/16/2008 4:55:04 PM

I have been a Groomsman twice. The first one I didn't have to pay anything for because I was in college and my sister payed for my tux. The second one, the tux was like $100.

7/16/2008 4:57:02 PM

after renting a number of tuxes for weddings (got mine free for ours, it's a great scam) I have decided to buy the one for my bro-in-law's wedding. It was 150 to rent, while I can have a custom fitted one for a few hundred more from any decent men's store in the area, I'm just tired of the whole renting fiasco. Probably going with a Jos A Bank Signature series. But since he's going with an ivory shirt v. white shirt I'll have to rent the shirt and vest/tie setup to more effectively match the others. There are three things any self respecting man should own, a tux, black suit and navy suit. Others types/styles are optional and a bonus.

BUT DAMN 439... to rent... yeah right... just find out the style and rent one from men's warehouse or something

7/16/2008 5:19:53 PM

just don't go.

7/16/2008 5:27:25 PM

i have found the weddings make people complete idiots. they don't look at the price of anything because they feel it's their "special day" for everyone to kiss their asses or whatever.

it's complete bullshit and weddings are fucking worthless.

[/gross generalization]

[people saying "zomg i wasn't that way"]

7/16/2008 5:28:41 PM

the only problem with buying a tux is that you will almost never be able to wear it in a wedding and match everyone else.

7/16/2008 5:29:40 PM

can someone explain the difference between a tux and a black suit? the shirt has a different collar and the tie is different.

i bet those bitches cost like $30 to make at most

7/16/2008 5:31:00 PM

Tell your friend to put his fiancee in her place.

Then tell him once he's picked out new tuxes, to call you back.

7/16/2008 5:32:09 PM

^^ satin lapel

7/16/2008 5:32:47 PM

^that's it? satin lapels?

who the fuck had this bright idea???

7/16/2008 5:33:20 PM

Uh

douchebags back in the day when clothing was how one showed off one's wealth

7/16/2008 5:34:30 PM
