Woman told her fiancé to get his suit ready for brother’s wedding. They still scoured Macy’s last minute for a suit: ‘Don’t expect him to change’

Her problem went deeper than the suit.

Woman told her fiancé to get his suit ready for brother’s wedding. They still scoured Macy’s last-minute for a suit: ‘Don’t expect him to change’

Leo Raleigh (@loudly.leo) repeatedly told her then-fiancé to get his suit ready for her brother’s wedding. Despite her constant reminders, she and her fiancé ended up scouring a local Macy’s for an alternative.

In her video captioned ‘weaponized incompetence will ruin your most important days,’ she spoke about her issue with her then-fiancé a few days before her brother’s December wedding. She asked her fiancé weeks before the wedding to look for his suit. Raleigh alleged that he kept telling her he’d “get to it,” but he never did. He was traveling for work and planned to meet her in Texas, where her family lives, to attend her brother’s wedding.

She asked him if he packed the suit for his work trip, but her fiancé allegedly said no. She was already packing her things and getting the house ready for the cat-sitter when her partner informed her that he couldn’t find his suit. So he asked her to look for it.

“Well, I look everywhere, tear through every drawer, I open every single closet in the house—it’s nowhere to be found,” Raleigh alleged. Neither her fiancé’s dress shoes nor his suit could be found. Two days before the wedding, Raleigh told her fiancé to find a new suit place in Texas so that they could rent him a suit, because she couldn’t find his suit anywhere.

Searching high and low for a suit at Macy’s

They touched down in Texas on the day of her brother’s wedding. Her fiancé still had no suit, but he allegedly reassured her that it would be ready by noon. Raleigh went to the mall to get her hair done, and her fiancé tagged along to shop around. Her brother was also at the mall, and they decided to meet up. She noticed her fiancé acting strangely but brushed it off.

When her brother left, Raleigh said her fiancé confessed that his suit wouldn’t be ready. They had only three hours before the wedding, and Raleigh admittedly felt enraged by what he said. Her fiancé explained that he ordered the suit at the last minute, and not all the pieces had arrived. As a result, the suit wouldn’t be ready. Some things should never be bought in a rush, like this woman, who got a $6,000 uneven reception dress. Similarly, suits should also be bought in advance.

“The fury that was racing through me in that Macy’s as we looked for his suit? I was so livid,” Raleigh said. She claimed that the venue was an hour away. They were 30 minutes away from Raleigh’s house, where they still needed to return for preparations. She said they eventually found a suit, but she only had 30 minutes left to prepare for her brother’s wedding.

It wasn’t just about the suit

“I only got one sibling. This is the only sibling wedding I’m attending in my life, alright? And I was almost late because my partner could not get his suit together,” Raleigh explained. She argued that women are often burdened with reminding their partners about things they shouldn’t have to. For Raleigh, it wasn’t just about the suit but about caring enough about what the event meant to her without giving her another problem to solve. Their relationship didn’t survive, and her fiancé is now an ex.

“So ladies, when he shows you who he is the first time? Believe him. Don’t expect him to change. Because he will continue to put more and more on you until it is ruining your favorite days,” Raleigh said. Some men understand that partnership isn’t always a bed of roses. This man from California says that while he is in a happy marriage, he believes many people wishing to partner up aren’t ready for the responsibilities the commitment entails.
