i understand that trash!john is real and canon and true but he honestly has no other groomsmen like even if he doesn’t really actually like them he could have asked mike or greg, or even bill murray or sholto or fuckin anybody the number of people on each side is generally supposed to match and then on top having no one else on his side, they dress him and sherlock exactly the same? i am overcome by how gay this is
Yeah like seriously, how common is it to have the groom and the best man dressed exactly the same? Is that a thing?
No. No it’s not. I’ve been to 4 weddings in my life, and NONE OF THE GROOMSMEN / BESTMEN DRESSED LIKE THE FRIGGIN’ GROOM.
This was so John and Sherlock’s wedding.
As someone in the formalwear business, I’d say eighty percent of the time, the groom differs from the groomsmen. (Mostly vest/tie rather than the tux itself.) But even in the other twenty percent, the groom differs either by way of his boutineer or other, small accessories. So this, I admit, is a little strange. The only difference between John and Sherlock is the tie pin John wears.
Photographers generally dislike the groom matching the groomsmen exactly because it’s more difficult for an outside viewer to differentiate between who’s getting married and who isn’t.
I’m saying this as someone who has managed hundreds of weddings. The picture of John and Sherlock looks odd because you literally can’t tell who’s getting married.
(because they both are) (to each other) (god bless)
the tie pin was john’s “something borrowed,” sherlock received it as a gift in trf
