Hi,
I couldn’t feel quite sure about an expression in the following paragraph:
“The only CRAZY I was was when I married him. I knew right away I made a mistake. He borrowed somebody’s best suit to get married in and never even told me about it, and the man came after it one day when he was out. She looked around to see who was listening: " ‘Oh, is that your suit?’ I said. ‘This is the first I ever heard about it.’ But I gave it to him and then I lay down and cried to beat the band all afternoon.”
Does the underlined part mean: He borrowed somebody’s best suit to get married in (that suit) = He borrowed somebody’s best suit in order to wear it for the wedding?
Thank you!

Hi Alan,
Thank you so much. Could you please further explain for me what the ‘in’ following ‘get married’ refer to?
Many thanks again.

Hi,
You could say: He got married (in) wearing somebody’s best suit.
