Can you ask if your dad can wear something complementary but not the same so it will look cohesive to him?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Well, a black suit is a black suit. Seriously, I know they're commonplace and unremarkable, and if Dad had just showed up in a black suit in September without telling me he wanted to match Tim, I wouldn't have even noticed. In the big scheme of things, it shouldn't even be a blip on the radar. Hell, he could be trying to wear paint-stained overalls and a Hank Williams t-shirt, you know? And here I am bitching that he wants to wear a suit. A SUIT, to a WEDDING? The horror!
Yeah, I get that I'm being irrational. He's just picked a bad time to be overtly weird and get all up in my shit about it.
(For the record -- wearing a suit to your daughter's wedding: lovely. Wearing a suit to your daughter's wedding because you specifically want to match your future son-in-law and look like you're a part of a nonexistant wedding party: CREEPY AND WEIRD.)

Ahahaha. I called my brother to vent ("Yeah, Dad is kind of creepy"), and he suggested that I tell Dad that Tim is wearing a red crushed-velvet tuxedo.
I love my bro.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Tim is wearing a red crushed-velvet tuxedo.
And a sombrero!
That's the look for the wedding party.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
And full face makeup a la KISS. You can choose your own band member. You don't want the wedding party to look *exactly* the same, do you?

I think if I want to go with a theme, but with variations, maybe luchadore masks is the way to go. It would go with Tim's sombrero.

Oh for god's sake. I just talked to my mom, and apparently we've hit the portion of wedding planning where it's all drama all the time.
I am not dealing with any of this. People can just have their drama.

This is why my family was not involved and we just went to Maui and got married.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I was going to say powder blue cocktail dress.

Plus, Maui.
