Help from Fashion Mavens of the OT

I have a wedding to go to in late August and the lovely Mrs. informs me I have to wear a suit and my old stand by from 10 or so years ago will not cut it. I have a job where business casual is the dress code in the office. I live in an area where most social gatherings are casual. I have worn a suit MAYBE 4 times in the last 10 years. So obviously my knowledge of the latest style is woefully lacking and that's why i came to the OT GQ.
Do I get matching coat and pants, 2 button or 3, vented back or flat, single vent or 2, color, fabric?

Indoor or outdoor? Day or night?

Four weddings and funerals in a decade? You lead a charmed life.

Go to Dillard's. Get a sports coat and some nice dress pants. If it has been a while you might need to get a new dress shirt. Your body has changed over the years. They have a tailor usually at the store.
Do you have nice dress shoes?

Get you a couple of these:
Everyone will be wearing them by that time.

You need to invest in a nicely-tailored blue suit. Get a white button down (that's not transparent). If it's more on the "casual" side like you say, skip the tie. Cognac (light brown) leather shoes and matching belt.

It's late August. Get a thin shirt.

I hear the leisure suit is coming back.

hahaah nice

Don't get any of that trendy Eurocut shite. Go get a decent 2 button traditional suit in Navy or Dark grey. It can be worn for all occasions.

yay glad I could help 
Women love nothing more than a well-dressed man, when it's called for of course.

Make sure you don't buy whatever is behind the link OweO just posted

If you are going with this link from Macy's, I would lean more towards the light blue one vs. this bright blue, but that's a matter of personal taste. Can't go wrong with either. Blue is sharp year round, any occasion.
