@acconrad, you'll be fine in a tuxedo. Don't worry about black versus midnight blue, except for considering which one you like more. And congratulations!
UNIFORM LA CHILLICOTHE WORK JACKET Drop, going on right now.
Uniform LA's Chillicothe Work Jacket is an elevated take on the classic Detroit Work Jacket. Made of ultra-premium 14-ounce Japanese canvas, it has been meticulously washed and hand distressed to replicate vintage workwear that’s been worn for years, and available in three colors.
This just dropped today. If you missed out on the preorder, there are some sizes left, but they won't be around for long. Check out the remaining stock here
Good luck!.

Also, agree.But I chose a different approach. My 4:00 ceremony was with a suit while my 6:00 reception was with a dinner jacket.Agreed. This argument comes up frequently, though it should not. You are either having a daytime event or an evening event-don't get hung up on the exact time that the clock indicates (these standards pre-date Daylight Savings after all).
^ Changing between the ceremony and the reception can be an option too. Nothing wrong with it, except potentially the inconvenience factor (and of course you have to decide whether you will be the only one changing or if you want your groomsmen to do so as well).
I prefer my groomsmen to wear red shirts so no problem there. He went to ND undergrad. Please forgive him.
I'm thoroughly enjoying ND's mediocrity this year. Too many obnoxious ND fans in Chicago for me to ever root for them.
@EdenResident
I can't comment on anything specific to Japan (if the wedding is going to be held there or you want to ensure that what you wear is culturally appropriate out of respect to her and her family), but cream dinner jackets are generally not worn outside of the Memorial Day to Labor Day window in temperate climates. For an evening event, a standard black tuxedo should be fine (you could do midnight blue if you prefer). For a daytime event, morning dress may be an option as could a three piece suit. Congratulations on the upcoming wedding.
Again, this is based on a traditional Western understanding of formal dress. I cannot say for certain that there may not be cultural differences in Japan that could render some of this moot.
