$100.00 for a tux is cheap, but maybe not for a Halloween costume?

Tere are surprisingly few of those on the farm, hence the web search.

Thanks. We're hoping to find cheaper, but $100 isn't out of the question.
We usually go al out for Halloween, and often make our own costumes. Last
year's costumes used close to $100 in fabric and accessories, and easily 20
hours of sewing, gluing, cutting, etc.
So finding a $100 tux that only need minor fitting wouldn't be bad at all –
but we're hoping to find something cheaper, if possible.

To buy. We're checking eBay but I'm always looking for other sources in
case we don't find the right one at auction.
This may change, if we don't find the right tux at the right price, but the
plan right now is to be a bride and groom.

Yeah, but if I read it right, Mrs. Userb3 is going to be the groom. That

I take it that the lovely and talented Mrs. Userb3 will be
wearing the tux? If that's the case have you found a wedding
gown yet? Might want to start the search for that soon and don't
forget the accessories. I hear inexpensive gowns are always in
demand.

Makeup, it takes believing in. Like a magic carpet, it's
belief that makes it fly. Otherwise, it's just a rug. If
you believe in it, makeup has a magic all it's own. Of
course, makeup is only dime–store magic. But it works well
enough, when it's used properly.", the makeup artist, from
the book Sooner or Later, based on the 1978 TV movie of
the same name.

If you post a link to pictures of the gown itself we can help you
in your choice of shoes. When you get your shoes don't forget to
wear them around the house (or use some sandpaper) to scuff uf
the soles a little. The soles of dressy shoes can be very slick.
Don't forget to shave your legs too, yes the gown will probably
be long enough to cover them but you should do it for the "full
experience" Better yet, get the lovely and talented Mrs. Userb3
to wax them for you.
Will you be wearing makeup? you can check out bridal mags for
makeup advice and for what style of makeup is in right now. I
personally am fond of the more dramatic bridal makeups: red lips,
winged black liquid eyeliner and false eyelashes. It's a brides
day to play princess so drama is OK.
But more good accessories for a bridal couple are honor
attendants.. Maybe you could convince another couple to serve as
your best man and maid of honor

Never assume.

Well, I figured Userb3 could do the bridal costume one of two
different ways:
1. hairy guy in a wedding gown
2. try to look as much like a real bride as is realistically
possible.
I personally would go for number 2 since number 1 is the more
cliche of the two options. Any guy can wear a wedding dress on
Halloween, but to actually put some effort and "style" into it
is another matter.
