I have a tailored suit that I bought for my wedding. It's absolutely lush.
I went for a classic style instead of en vogue - a very straight-down-the-line cut.

The weird thing is, going to a tailor, you find out what a complete mutant you are. For example - I have a slightly dropped shoulder I was previously unaware of, but my posture is excellent. Everyone I've met who has been to a tailor says they have had a similar experience.

You didn't wear a traditional morning suit to get married?
Pleb.

Snob.

Yes.
And before you ask, yes I do own a morning suit. No need to rent one.

No. We got married in Vegas, by Elvis, the whole nine yards, and enjoyed every moment of it.
I wore a suit and hat, Mrs V a black and pink dress, and the dress code for the wedding party was black with a flash of hot pink. It was fantastic, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Sadly, I'm still paying for doing it, and it was nearly a year and a half ago.

How horridly vulgar.
I got married in a cathedral.

It was more vulgar than Katie Price's crotchless knickers.
Great fun.

Well you should have listened to her at the time shouldn't you
She wouldn't still be nagging you if you'd remembered that there is no "U" in wedding

Remind me never, ever to say this to her.

It's very hard to see how I could influence you to do so

There's a double 'U' at the start.

I would never have worn a traditional morning suit to get married, as I used to have to wear one for work.
A well tailored suit looks far better than a hired morning suit.

a morning suit for work?

Nothing exciting.

I worked in a hotel for all of about 3 months. All I got was a poxy shirt with my name embroidered on it.

I agree...
When I went to a tailor he had to create extra room in the crotch*
