From the Groomsmen's Perspective

I read this over on Aaron Karo's site this morning (I know a week old, but last Monday I have an excuse for having not read it):
Two of my best friends, Chi and Cat, are getting married next month. Chi sent an email to the wedding party, informing the guys we would be wearing tan suits. No one has a freaking tan suit or wants to buy or rent one, and so a flurry of hateful reply-to-alls ensued. Chi eventually acquiesced and is now allowing us to wear black suits instead. It was the first successful Groomsmen Rebellion in recorded wedding history.
So now I'm really curious.  If you had or are going to have one of the lovely tan suited weddings with pink flowers, how did you convince the guys to go along with it?  Are these groomsmen being jerks or are they just practical?
