Suit issues with brother and best man. Freaking out

Cait, on March 29, 2020 at 9:17 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 3

We told our gentlemen back during January what suit and where. We've told them of multiple sales. We found a brand from JCP from the j f ferrar collection and now we are running out of sizes for my brother who's a groomsman. All 3 have dragged their feet but the other 2 are at least pretty normal in sizes. Our date is 6/27 and because hes big chested and shouldered were running out of options. He is a 46 chest and there is only 1 in that size but a super slim. The slim and classic are both out of stock for his size. My mom is worried it may be too tight. My fiance has his already. Theres a sale going on till tomorrow night where the suits are 85% off. My mom and brother are trying to tell me "well I found another suit in grey". Are my fiance and i being selfish? We already bought his suit which will match the boys and we don't want to have 1/4 guys even slightly mismatched. Once again I've told my brother for several months now to GO IN AND GET FITTED! Jcp is closed due to covid19 so he can't even just walk in and see how it fits. Now were bout 3 months away and I'm freaking out 😟😖😓

I've told my mom that she should go ahead and buy the pants and maybe the super slim and see how it fits. Is this a good idea or no? Jcp said they will extend any warranties to 30 days after they reopen stores so they could exchange it later.
I just got off the phone with her and she was supposed to call me today and tell me what was going on and show me the other suit. She didnt call me sonic had to call her. She ordered the other suit without showing us. I've yet to hear is the best man ordered his

    Your FH needs to communicate with his groomsmen directly and tell them something like “here’s the suit you need to wear. I really recommend getting it soon so that it’ll be here on time, so you can be in the wedding.” It’s not your job (or his job) to stress about. It’s the groomsman’s responsibility. If he can’t handle it, he simply won’t be in the wedding.

    I've told him that. And his response is I'll text him. Then a few hours later I ask and he still hasn't. I've told him to even stop by where his best man works. Hes been wanting to pickup chipotle and his best man is usually working there. This lack of communication and not knowing has got me anxious

    That seems like a bigger issue then with your FH not prioritizing or listening when something is important to you.


    Again, I still wouldn’t let it be YOUR source of stress. Tell your FH what needs to be done and remind him that if it doesn’t get done, his friends will not be in the wedding. If he doesn’t text him/if his friends don’t do it, that’s their fault.
