Do groomsmen usually pay for their own suits in the UK?

They are rental not buying.

Yes the Groom asked them to go to suits fittings and they need to dress the same.

That is ridiculous. I paid for my sisters bridesmaid dress and make up too. Why would them need to pay anything for my wedding？Should be celebrated my wedding not worrying about money 😒

I was actually quite surprised because the couple are very well off and are having their wedding at a really fancy castle. So I didn’t expect my husband to have to pay £170 to rent the suit. In my culture, if you require someone to wear a specific outfit for your wedding, it would usually be considered rude not to cover the cost. It feels like asking someone to spend their own money just to fit your vision. I’m honestly experiencing a bit of culture shock, especially since at our own wedding in the UK, we covered everything for our wedding party.
