OK, is it just the green color or the eagles logo? Is there green in your wedding? I want to be able to give advice but I need to know the details to give you advice.

Being a fellow Eagles Fan....E-A-G-L-E-S....Fly Eagles fly, on the road to victoryyyyyyyyyyy..... Ok back to the question...NO WAY! If it's just the emerald green color, than I think that is oka, but if its emblazoned with the Eagles logo...I say no...sorry FH!!!

CHances...I have become a huge Eagles fan since moving to PA and working in Philly...but there's no way! It is just the green color, but it just doesn't go well with the bridesmaid dresses that are burgundy and ALREADY ordered.. PS they were amazing this past weekend :)

I think that burgundy and green look good together! You have to remember this is his wedding too. You should be happy he has an opinion because most grooms don't.

Um, no I don't think so either. Especially if the BM dresses are already ordered. I don't have a problem with FH's voicing their opinions and having a say in wedding decisions. However, they also need to understand some of these decisions need to be made early on and cannot easily be altered.

Is it possible for him to wear it under his tux shirt? That way he gets to wear it but it can't be seen by anyone?

LOL! Well, this probably isn't what you want to hear, but I think you can make it work. Here's some pics where the burgundy/green combo looked pretty nice: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IhUIIcG6cd8/SLFYxvBo9EI/AAAAAAAAAGA/0bJg6_fltew/s320/purple and green wedding colours.jpg http://static.vsocial.com/theknot/022008/photos/0442cd7d0a24be59f6adb07ed4a076ce_player.png What about getting the girls green bouquets to match the guys' vests? Remember it's his wedding too, and if it's really important to him, it might be worth it to let him have the colors he want. Plus then you'll get to hear what a cool bride you are from all the guys. :-)

Maybe he could wear a green tie so that it incorporates his color but isn't as much of a focal point as the vest will be when he takes of his jacket. Oh, and I think the garter is a cute surprise!

I am sure he will love the garter idea (where did you find an eagle one??) FH, dad, and my bro LOVE THE EAGLES!!! but if green is not in your wedding then no way.... if it was and they just wanted green find but other then that no way.. :-D

I don't mean to come off as a bitch about how it's only my day..I hope you don't get that impression. It's just that he didn't care and now all of a sudden, he has opinions, and clearly I want to hear them and its important to me about what he thinks..it's just that you cannot just decide things on a whim and think it will automatically work. We are going to look at tuxs soon..so I guess time will tell :) Mayo- the garter is on the NHL shop/eagles website.

You have almost a year left in planning so I'm sure you don't have all of the decor picked out and ordered yet so I think you could work it in if you wanted to. I guess the real question is why you don't want to let him pick one of the colors. I know what you are saying about him saying things just to frustrate you. My husband actually wanted our sage to be bright green for the Ducks (UO) but he wanted it only to frustrate me and I asked him point blank, "do you really care about the colors or are you just doing it to be frustrating?" He said that he didn't really care but if he had said he really wanted it I would have made it work. But Sapphire blue and birght green just wouldn't have had the same touch as Sapphire and sage.

What about having him wear green cuff links, tie clip, socks or something else small and barely noticeable? That way he gets to wear green and it is not enough to clash with your colors.

@ loveat1stsite, don't worry you didn't come off any bad way. I agree with you that it's more frustrating when the grooms have opinions than when they don't :-)

If he really wanted the green, I would let him, but its just trying to mess with me when he knows I'm under stress with the wedding, but more or less other things going on with family and work etc. He thinks hes being "cute"..lol but its hard to stay mad at him.

See if you can get him a Philly Eagles groom's cake. Astros cake worked great to smooth over the lack of Astros theme to FSIL's wedding last year. Or maybe a jersey or hat to wear at the reception after all of the official portraits are done.

Hmm... I mean yea, I could totally see not letting him have the logo, but what would be so wrong with him having a green vest? I agree it is his wedding too, as long if its a green that goes with your color scheme I don't see whats so wrong with that. I agree on having the eagles groom cake, that would be so cool!
