Just as a note for all posters renting tuxes for $150: your guy can purchase a perfectly serviceable tux for any black tie event for about $400. If you stretch that out even over 5 years it is WELL worth the money.

That said, I know most brides love the 'matchy-matchy' thing, so this is why guys end up having to overpay for tux rentals over and over (I can already hear cries of 'OMG his lapels don't match he HAS to wear this tux!!').

My DH said the same thing before the wedding and even now he still wants to buy one.
