She Wants To Wear A Tuxedo On Her Wedding Day, But Her Fiancé Said He Wants Her “To Be Feminine For Once” And Thinks She Should Wear A Beautiful Gown
This 23-year-old woman and her fiancé, who is also 23, have been in a relationship for over six years now. About two months ago, he also proposed, so now, they are in the process of planning their nuptials.
“Our wedding is scheduled for a few months [from now], and I’m super excited,” she said.
But, while many women might dream about looking like a princess on their big day and finding the perfect gown, she would actually prefer the opposite.
More specifically, she tends to dress more “masculine.” So, on her wedding day, she actually wants to wear a tuxedo.
That’s why, when her fiancé brought up the topic of her wedding dress, she flat-out told him that she didn’t want to buy or wear one.
“I want to wear a tuxedo. It’s simply what I prefer and has always been what I wanted,” she explained.
“Sure, it’s not traditional, but I want to do what pleases me.”
Well, when her fiancé found out that she wanted to wear a tux, he was far from thrilled about the idea. In fact, she claimed it was clearly obvious that he didn’t want her to wear a tuxedo.
Her fiancé even went so far as to admit that he’d hoped she could just “tolerate being feminine for once.” He also admitted that, when envisioning their wedding day, he’d always pictured her wearing a gorgeous white gown.

So now, she honestly has no idea what to do. She still wants to wear a tuxedo for her ceremony, or at least some sort of outfit that isn’t a dress since that’s what she’ll feel the most comfortable in.
“And personally, I wouldn’t be upset with my fiancé if he chose to wear something out of the ordinary,” she vented.
Still, she obviously loves her fiancé and wants to make him happy, too. This has left her wondering if refusing to wear a dress on her wedding day is reasonable or if she should just get a wedding gown and “move on.”
Do you think she has a right to feel comfortable in her outfit on her wedding day? How would you feel in her shoes? What advice would you give her?
