47. It’s a “WE” thing
I was the groom and my bride INSISTED that because all the bridesmaids dresses were the same and that the groomsmen’s attire all match EXACTLY as well.
After settling on the look “we” wanted for the big day beach wedding I talked to all the groomsmen and asked for shirt sizes, pants sizes, and if I remember correctly their shoe sizes. Then I went out and bought all of their outfits. I was NOT about to subject them to spending their own time coordinating and shopping and all that grief.
And heaven forbid if something wasn’t right.
It only cost me a couple hundred dollars, but to me, it was worth it. It was only a white dress shirt, khaki slacks, and brown sandals but to my wife, it meant the world.
