Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

One of my brother's CO's did something similar. Same guy who mined bro's salsa with condoms. I'm led to believe he was crazy. But I don't know what my brother did

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Those things are not only freaky, but they start at $5500. Couldn't you just use that money on hookers??

I skipped, sorry.
[Rant]
Is it normal to want to kill your fiancee five weeks before the wedding? Seriously, should I be worried that I am having all I can do to keep from throwing heavy objects at him right now? He is being infuriating. He has been putting off choosing the tuxedos for months now. Every time I bring them up, we end up arguing. He says he's too busy to take half a day off to go and get them. He's even refusing to return the best man's phone calls. Now granted, his best man is a pain in the ass. But in this instance, he's trying to be helpful by arranging a time when they can go together.
He swears he still wants to marry me and that this isn't some passive agressive message he is trying to send. His words were, "Of course I want to marry you, I wouldn't have asked you if I didn't want to." But its all I can think of - he works seven days a week, and he is SELF EMPLOYED. Am I really supposed to believe that it is an absolute impossibility for him to take half a day off on a weekend???

There isn't any circumstances that I'd want to know what cleanliness Terrence demands of his wimmin unless he was trying to convince me to be one of them. I'd still look at him funny, but at least then the info would be pertinent
well, I certainly hope that he's that fastidious because he plans on spending a lot of time down there.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yes.
(Seriously: HUGE high-stress time! All kinds of deep and scary redefining who you are as a unit, masked by socially-enforced smiley-face stuff, needing some way of being vented! Plus, dude actually does need to take a day off if he's working 7 days. You both do. You're workaholics. Take a breather and be fun together.)

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Callaluna, since I eloped because I really didn't want to deal with wedding stress , I can't say for sure. However, even being married there are times when you will want to throw heavy object at him . ( I f you work it right, there are less and less of those times) While this is driving you crazy - ask your self - how much does the tux matter? Neat, clean and close to the formality of the event is what you want. Has he got a suit? If the answer is yes, don't worry about it. He has something in the right general vein to wear. If it matters to you - (and that isn't a bad thing) get on the phone , do some research - see what you can do without him.
He may do everything without your help
I'm guessing yes, he wants to marry you, but getting a tux doesn't sound like much fun to him

Ann, that's a ferret.
Callaluna, I'm not self-employed, and I've only been in weddings as a groomsman. But if he knows what he wants, getting the tux should be very easily done. Does he know his size, and does he have the phone number for the rental place?
A few years ago, I was a groomsman in a wedding in Ireland. I told the groom my size, and he gave the info to the tux rental place. We arrived in Ireland on Tuesday for a Saturday wedding and were fine even though I needed a different size and I didn't do the fitting on Tuesday. And we aren't talking a large tux rental place (or even a big city).
Edit to Add: And what beth said on the "does he want to get married?" question. He may just hate shopping for and trying on clothes. Though I'd recommend that the best man find out groom's tux size and call the rental place instead of you.
