...my sister-in-law is insisting that her daughter’s wedding be “black tie” for the guests....so in addition to transportation costs, hotel costs, wedding gift costs; I gotta rent a tux!...my wife says I need do it or it will be a big stink in the family....I’ve been to a lot of weddings over the years but I’ve never heard of one were the bride tells the guests what to wear....am I in the wrong about resenting this demand?

I told (suggested) my guests what to wear, but it was a casual wedding on the beach. I didn't want them dressing up and ending up uncomfortable. I wanted to make sure they wore shorts and beach shoes and were dressed to have fun :~)

We had a formal wedding but the only tuxes outside the men in the wedding party were on the dads and the grandpas and the 2 uncles who did readings.
