Damn.
While I really, really love the classic tuxedo with bow tie look:
I'm not the one who has to wear this thing so I'm letting Mr. Coyote take the reins here. Of course, that doesn't mean that I don't have a few teeny tiny suggestions for him. ;)
We both agree that we'd like him a black tux, with a black tie and vest :
And that we'd like the groomsmen to wear something similar, except we'll probably change up the color of their ties or vest to match our wedding colors:

Finally, we need to decide how to dress our fathers. Mr. Coyote's dad has already made it clear that he does not want to wear a tuxedo because he "will look like one of the waiters" (his words, not mine). In fact, because I have been so insistent on him wearing a tux I am pretty sure he is currently conspiring with one of our guests to ensure that they arrive looking like this:

Let me tell ya, my future father-in-law is one funny guy.
Although I'm almost tempted to let him get away with it (just because it would be the most ridiculous and hilarious wedding get-up I've seen) I was thinking more along the lines of a black tux with a silver vest and tie for the dads:

Silver is our accent color and it will actually coordinate perfectly with what our moms are wearing.
One we had this down I thought we were good to go. What I didn't realize was that choosing a tux is almost more complicated than choosing a wedding gown! We still have some questions to answer. What kind of jacket, shirt and shoes everyone should wear? Do we want pocket squares and cuff links? Yikes! There are still so many decisions left to make, but I'm glad we at least got the ball rolling!
Was picking out wedding day attire for the men in your life more complicated than you thought it would be?
