I go to school in San Diego and will be getting commissioned next May, followed by the wedding the next weekend. My fiancee (snowlily) and I have got A LOT of planning taken care of already, but I'm running into some walls when it comes to best man and suits for the fathers. I wanted to get the opinions of some of the ladies here and hopefully some from guys as well...so here goes.
The guy I'm thinking of asking to be my best man has been an awesome friend since high school--he's a definite good choice. However, he's not in the military and the rest of the ushers will be in their whites...what kind of tux should I get this guy? Something that looks similar to whites--choker collar, etc--, or just a white tux? Or, and this I see as more of a sleight against him, should I just have the best man be a friend I'm commissioning with?
Next question: both her dad and mine are retired military (hers a navy commander, mine a marine warrant officer). Would it look better for them to be in dress uniform or tuxes--kinda goes with the same question above, about making everything look right. What are some of your opinions?
Lastly, has anybody seen any decent naval officer themed wedding cake toppers? All the ones I find are either enlisted, or cheap looking...
