Ok, so I am TOTALLY a pink lady. (My bedroom back home at my moms is two shades of pink and I absolutely wont let her repaint it!) 
Ive wanted a pink wedding for as long as I can remember. DF is absolutely fine with pink; his only request is that he doesnt want to wear a tux. No problem, I thought the idea of a khaki suit with a pink tie looked great. He does too, and I was so happy because it was the first wedding decision we had made together (besides deciding to get married at WDW). So our original colors were pink and khaki.
Except now weve decided on an evening wedding & reception, and I dont think a khaki suit will be formal enough for an evening wedding. DF agrees, so I think that my original color scheme is out. So now I think I like pink and chocolate, but I have no idea what DF would wear. I hate to try and convince him to wear a tux, just because I know he doesnt want to. Also, he thinks that renting a tux is overpriced and pointless. He had to do this for my sisters wedding and was shocked at a rental price of almost $200 (hes totally clueless on this whole wedding/price thing). He wants to buy a suit for the wedding that hell be able to wear again (I kinda agree on that aspect, although I dont think Ill ever be wearing my wedding dress again).
Yesterday DF brought up the idea of using charcoal gray with pink. He wants the guys to wear a charcoal gray suit and pink tie (but he wants a darker pink). Not sure if I like the idea, Ive been trying to find some inspiration pics, but havent been very successful. I thought about light pink and navy blue, but DF thinks that looks too "Yacht club" for his taste.
And to add to the frustration, my older sister who will be a bridesmaid refuses to wear pink. Shes never been a pink person (even though I think she looks good in pink!), and I want her to be comfortable, so Ive been trying to think of a coordinating color she could wear as a bridesmaid
Oh my head hurts.
I think Ill go to a craft store tomorrow and try to find something inspiring.

I am totally a pink girl too 
I think DF would be wearing a black tux though.
Hayley I just found your PJ and didn't realize it was you! That's so funny we want almost the exact same wedding exactly one week apart!
Just for kicks I tried on about 3 more dresses, but none were as beautiful as my dress. And it just so happens that the dress in the store was brand new AND my size, so I took it home with me that very same day (along with a crinoline, veil, and 2 tiaras they accidentally gave us two, which we didnt even notice until I got home!). I think the entire thing cost somewhere around $900 for everything. I tried on my dress a few times for a few family members, but that was back in 2004. Ever since then my beautiful dress has been packed away in the closet of my mothers basement. I havent even looked at it since the last time I tried it on, and the only picture I have of it is some crinkled magazine picture from a bridal magazine dated 2003!
He says he feels uncomfortable in it. I think we're just going to go with all the guys wearing black suits and probably pink ties (but a different color for DF)
) I recently saw a beautiful pewter colored bridesmaid dress that would look great with pink flowers and nice with either suit. I'll see if I can find it and post it for you! Can't wait to read more!
