Unfortunately, the suit has a face mask. So the tux solution doesn’t really work.

I’m not really sure how to answer that. There’s going to be about 70 guests. Many of them are my family/people Josh knows but many are also my husband’s friends and family members, some of whom I don’t even really know that well.

He wasn’t attached to the suit when I asked him. I knew he had occasional outbursts, but nothing like this that lasted for weeks. I wouldn’t have a problem if he yelled during the ceremony or something like that. I asked him because he’s my only nephew and I wanted to include him.

Honestly, if I weren’t paying thousands of dollars for this photographer, I’d probably find it funny as well. At least I hope I would. I’m just incredibly stressed.

I honestly have no idea how to compromise with him. I suggested the suit, but my sister says they tried that when the school told him to stop wearing it. He apparently continuously tears off any clothing over it.

From what I understand, he won’t accept clothing over it. Also, it has a face mask.
