Alright, I am a little nervous right now. My FH finally got his suit in today, and got fitted for it and its being altered now. Well, I gave him some ideas of what I wanted, but that is it. He did the rest on his own and he does not want me to see what it looks like till we see each other for the first time while walking down the aisle. I think this is sweet, but I am also worried that I am going to hate what he is wearing.

Before me, he dressed terribly, I have helped him out with the way he dresses and he looks much better now. But, I am so scared that he will revert back to his old ways or something.

Am I being silly, are/did other people let their FH surprise them? He really wants to surprise me, and I am really scared about this. Am I crazy?

I for one think that it is great that he wants to suprise you, I wish my FI would take that intiative!! it would make me nervous a little, but maybe he has learned from you....

i saw what Paul was going to wear beforehand, but he picked everything out on his own. to tell you the truth - i didn't much care what he wore! though i knew he was going for tan linen pants and a white shirt ... hard to screw that up.

Can you ask him to show your mom or sister or girlfriend to be sure? Or his mom or sister? Or anyone that you trust their opinion, but won't break when you grill them on what it is :-)

I do care what he wears though, not sure why. I guess its because of how he used to dress, trust me it was bad. I want us both to look great on the day and in pictures.

He is being so sweet as well, our colours are pink and chocolate brown and ivory, and he said he did not care what the colours were as long as he did not have to wear pink. I said no, white and tan was good. Well, he tells me that he got a pink and white striped shirt and a brown tie. That sounds like it could be nice and it goes with our colours, but I am scared, what if its tacky? He said he is going to look amazing and he loves the outfit. Should I just trust him. I want to, but I am freaked out inside.

Maybe I am just a controll freak and want to know what he is wearing. lol I have no idea.

That is a great idea. He might show my sister. BUT, how do I ask him to do that without telling him why I am asking him? His GM's are no help either, none of them dress very well. lol

[LCBride2007]

huh - well, i was going to suggest to have him get the stamp of approval from a girl you trust as well! can you just tell him you wnat to make sure it "coordinates with teh dress" and then have him show someone who has seen the dress?

[LCBride2007]

or maybe that the pink needs to match the flowers ... so you need someone to look at teh colors?

Oooh, I like that. Huh, I wonder if he will go for it. He might just tell me he wants a white flower, that is something he would say. lol

I will talk to my sister about it tonight and see if I can get him to show her. I hope it works.

Hahahahaa, sometimes men have a hard time with clothes. What he picked out sounds nice though, but I know what you mean. I told Matt he could pick out whatever he wanted, with my approval. (Cuz first he wanted to not wear a shirt, then he wanted to wear a tuxedo t-shirt).

Maybe you can have your sister ask him in private and he wouldn't even know you were doubting him? Or just tell him, you want it to be perfect, so please can xxx see what you bought? I promise I won't ask anything else regarding your clothes. Something like that.
