I am getting married in June. I want my dad to match my tux. My fiance and I disagree if her dad should match with us. My point is that I want something special so my dad matches me and everyone knows he is my dad. She says its not polite if her dad doesn't match us. Anyone have any advice?

The father's tuxes generally should match the other groomsmen (since he will be walking the bride down the aisle). What you can do, is perhaps design a different unique boutonniere for you and your father, and have one designed for the bride's father that matches closely to her bouquet. Having your father stand by you side at the altar will also be a good indicationg that he is your father. Possibly, you could also introduce him and say a special toast to him at the reception.

As a wedding DJ for almost 30 years... I'd say, it is polite for both dads to match however, every wedding can have it own little differences. That is what makes every wedding just a bit not the same as all the others. My other question is, doesn't everybody know who your dad is? Also, how about something just slighlty different for the other dad? Weddings are tough, and you know, by the time of the reception, nobody cares except for good food, good music and liquor.

I truly believe that the only people that should match the wedding should be the wedding party themselves. The Mothers get special dresses, but as far as the fathers, that really isnt common. i would suggest doing something just between your father and you, such as you make him a monogrammed hankie he can keep in his pocket and you have something of his in your pocket. There will still be a connection, but not one that would be noticed.
In the end what i have found out unfortunately is that the guests sometimes wear what they want to....

Unless your dad is your best man, he should wear the same tux as her dad.
You can have her dad's boutonniere match her bouquet and your dad match your boutonneire. Then something different altogheter for the groomsmen.

Have your dad match you.....have her dad match what your bestman and bridal party is wearing! Its actually customary for the father of the bride to be wearing a matching tux! Ask your dad for his opinion, if the subject is approachable.
Good Luck!

Is your dad in your wedding party? If not, I would think it weird that he matches but the other dad does not. (Or do you not have a wedding party?)
I don't think it is rude, just weird. As a bride, I would not have cared, but my mom would have cared. Not sure about my dad.
Maybe you and your dad could have the same flowers?

figure out a good way for you and she to work through such things. in marriage such problems would be considered small.
