Black Tuxedo Vest

Do I need a cummerbund and a vest for a tuxedo for a wedding?
I don’t know anything about this stuff, so I don’t know what I really need, I don’t want to get more than I need.
Do I need the special shoes, can’t I just wear by black Vans.
Either a cummerbund or a vest will do. Good vests are low-cut and black like this:

Bad vests, like you often see, are high-cut and colorful like this:

If you can’t find a low-cut vest, go with a black cummerbund. The bow tie should be black and self-tied; no long ties, no pre-tied, no colors.
No black Vans. Ever. If you already have black lace-up dress shoes like this:

you can shine them, or have them shined, and get by. If you rent, you’ll get plastic shoes–passable, but not great.
The shirt should be white and have a laydown collar. Wing collars are unpredictable. The jacket should have one or two buttons, and should of course be black. Black studs and cufflinks are required.
That should get you through the basics. If you have any questions, try the Black Tie Guide:
