I had a wedding on the third, my best friend from HS was supposed to be my best man. The day before the wedding he calls me and tells me his dad is hurt, and he can't be in the wedding. I say ok do what you need to do. He sent me a PM telling me what happened to his dad and that arrangements have been made to drop off his tux. I come back from my honeymoon only to find a ton of messages from the tux shop wanting their tux back. They tell me that they are going to charge me $500 if they cannot get it from him. I don't know what to do, I've already called his roommates twice, called a couple of his friends, and a couple of other aquantences (sp) no one knows where he or the tux is. All I know is that he is somewhere in TX

How long can I delay the tux shop in situations like this? How else can I get ahold of him, I know his entire families names just don't know the city to look it up. I'm really close to looking up everyone with his dad's and stepmoms name on Infospace and call everyone (starting with larger cities and going down)

this is why all tux's were paid for seperately by the person renting them in my wedding.

But that sucks... use infospace. Hunt him down.

Yeah I did the same he paid $77 (although I did pay a $40 deposit just to hold his tux) and since it's all under my wedding name they are coming to me to collect

I don't think they can hold you accountable, but they can try to make you think you are.

Yeah just because its under your "group" name that doesnt mean you are responsible.. didnt he have to sign his own paperwork for the rental?
