Groom/Groomsman Attire

Hands down, so far, I am the most excited about picking out the groom/groomsman attire! First, it doesn't require me to try on a damn thing, and second, renting Mr. BB's tux won't cost us a cent! If that's not a win-win scenario, than I don't know what is.

It's also exciting because this is going to be the first (and likely only) unilateral decision that Mr. BB will be making in regard to the wedding. The only guideline he's been given is to stay within our deep purple-gold-ivory color scheme.

Well, aside from finding out that Men's Wearhouse (where we plan on renting the tuxes) offers groomsman attire in exact matching colors as offered at David's Bridal for the bridesmaid gear, Mr. BB didn't have any idea of how he wanted to dress his guys.

Until he saw a report about some very fortunate soul winning a $160 million jackpot, when suddenly a vision came to him:

Okay, maybe that's actually the vision that came to me when he tried to articulate what he had in mind. In full disclosure, this is the same outfit that Mr. BB would like to wear if he ever has to claim a multi-million dollar jackpot and would be televised while doing so.

I'm not too sure about the top hat, nor am I sure if he's serious, but I'm pretty happy that he's thinking about it...even if it means I need to dress as a shoe or thimble and we have have to get married at Park Place.

Is anyone else leaving the groom/groomsman clothing entirely up the groom? If so, did he have any specific ideas about what he would like to wear, or is he totally ambivalent?
