I took my BB slim fit shirt to my tailor to get darts added, but she said she would have to remove the box pleat at the upper back or it would look weird. What's up with this? I thought adding darts was easy.

Adding darts is easy, but to have both box pleat and darts is very odd since they're kind of opposite:
It is easy but she is right about the box pleat. Think about how a dart works. You are sewing together a fold of increasing width from the back of the shirt to taper it towards the waist. If you have a box pleat in the back of the shirt, the tapering fold will pull the pleat permanently open, something that will definitely look weird and defeat the purpose of a dart.
Wedding Attire Question...
If the box pleat is removed, does that mean the chest will also fit slimmer? Will that affect stuff like the shoulders and sleeves?
The obvious choice of tie for a navy suit is the traditional wedding tie (lots of threads on that topic in MC). The combination of the relatively formal navy suit and informal seersucker seems a little odd to me. It sounds like you want to coordinate what you and your groomsmen are wearing and I don't know why you'd want to do that. If it were me, I would have them all wear different ties that worked with seersucker. The whole idea that all the groomsmen have to be identically dressed comes from the Men's Wearhouse school of wedding attire.
I toyed around with that idea, but I balked when trying to figure out different ties for the seersucker.
