Wrong! Everyone's tie knots being identical is awful and looks ridiculous.
The reason brides nowadays insist upon uniformity is because in England, they would (sometimes still do) dress in morning dress for formal occasions like weddings. There are rules for morning dress, but at least you still tie your own tie!
The tradition of having the wedding party dressed all identically is a basterdized version of morning dress passed down from tuxedo rental store to wedding planner to bridal magazines to compulsive handwashing brides and so on. That's the reason groomsmen are wearing matching fuchsia pocket squares like some weird row of robot clown car salesmen. Wearing a matching costume doesn't look better, it looks absurd. Anyone getting married will lose many battles with their bride-to-be, but try to win this one!
