Q. I'm getting married next year. My fiance has already picked out her dress and now is hinting that she is ready to go choose my tux. I think I should be able to pick out my own tux style. Who should pick the groom's tuxedo?

A. You should be able to pick out your own tux style instead of having your bride-to-be tell you what to wear. Tell her that you are going to go look at tuxes and decide what style you like. Then take a trip to look at tuxes with her and ask her she what she thinks. Explain that as long as she lets you make the ultimate decision -- so that you're comfortable and happy with the style you're wearing -- you're totally willing to hear her opinion on your choice or the styles you're choosing between. Assure her that you want to look as great as she will, and you're not going to decide on a style she doesn't like. She might be a little freaked out at first, but hopefully she will agree to it (and be impressed by your initiative).
