We're paying but only having the one BM so hopefully it won't be too painful an experience. We've also offered to pay for the hire of the mens suits but i'm really hoping that our fathers at least will offer to pay for their own suit hire.

A friend of ours got married last Sept and they asked all of the men to contribute towards the suit hire (ended up paying half I think) which I thought was pretty cheeky at the time. In hindsight though I think that they had the right idea!!
