DF's best friend and his fiance are planning to surprise him by coming to our destination wedding. They plan on showing up unannounced (to him) at our rehearsal dinner the night before the ceremony. What he still won't know is that his friend's fiance is going to be my MOH. Now his friend is thinking about surprising him further by walking down the aisle as a groomsman. Right now our bridal party consists of DF's brother and my surprise MOH. DF thinks my brother is standing up as my "maid of honor". If his friend ends up in the bridal party, my brother will be on my side. However, after finding out the price of renting a tux, he wants to wear his dress blues (he's a marine). I think it would be tacky for a groomsman to be in blues while everyone else is in a black tux... But I don't want to hurt his feelings and tell him no because I don't think he can afford the rental... What do I do??? What would YOU do?

I'm prior military as well. He's a surprise! Let him wear his dress blues b/c no one is expecting him. He won't take from your shine but he'll stand out as ”the surprise guest”. No one will care and will write it.off. The look on your FH's face will be more priceless and memorable thanone person wearing a different suit.

And its your wedding, who cares what ppl think? Its part of your gift to FH. How dare ppl question that and it might hurt his feelings if you just decide to pull him out. Could definitely change how he.looks at you as his friend's wife that went back on her word in such a wonderful time as this if you say he can then say he can't be in it especially if him and his fiancee already planned to be

Tracy, here's a pick I found of a wedding party with mixed military and non-military and few different uniforms. I think it looks fabulous!

Thanks for the pic! Our wedding party is going to consist of me & my MOH, DF and his best man, and that's it. So with only three men, I don't think it's going to look very good if only one doesn't match...
