First of all thanks to be in this Group and please everybody excuse my language , I have not used English after my school years !
I am getting married soon and I am thinking about the appropriate cut for a man wir some belly ( I am rather small ) abs I am afraid that typical one botton tuxedo will accentuate my stomach ?
Need some advice and appreciate it

Congratulations and welcome!
The only ‘correct’ tuxedo is one-button. In any case, why would a two button jacket fit any differently when one only fastens the upper button? Perhaps you might consider a waistcoat over a cummerbund for a waist covering.

You might also want to consider made to measure. Men come in all shapes and sizes and there’s no reason why you cannot wear a proper tuxedo jacket.

Do you mean a tuxedo jacket with tails?

General advice would be this: Dress to the formality of the wedding.

White Tie Wedding (very unusual): Tail coat
Morning Wedding: Morning coat
Afternoon Evening Black Tie: Tuxedo
Not Black Tie: Suit, probably Gray

Only for a White Tie event.

Wedding planners, magazines, and general trend will have you believe you are supposed to wear a tux at your wedding.

This is not true.

Only if the event is Black Tie.
