What Should the Groom Wear?

The key here is coordination. Formal weddings require formal attire - and formal attire for men means a tuxedo. Also, since the level of formality of bride and groom should match, if the bride is wearing a formal gown, then the groom should wear a tuxedo. Since church and other ceremonial weddings tend to be formal by default, it is more common for a tuxedo to be appropriate than a suit.

On the other hand, if the wedding is intended to be more casual affair, then the groom should consider wearing a suit, as the tuxedo may end up looking like overkill. Beach weddings, city hall ceremonies, Vegas quickie-events and even many outdoor nuptials will fall into this latter category
