I was in a similar situation to this. I had to back out of a wedding due to health issues and chronic illnesses (I feel your pain on that end). What I did in my situation was talked to her and said hey. I can't come to the wedding due to a surgery. In my case, she offered to pay everything for me. I was like nah I wasn't gonna let her do that. We are still friends.
So personally? I would come out with it and be honest upfront. I would say "hey I can't pay for the suit and I hope we can still be friends after this". I think the big thing here is to keep the lines of communication open.
P.S. "Why should I pay for that" is the perfect title for this. I personally voted don't pay for it.
