Never skip leg day?
Currently I am gaining strength (and muscle) with a 3-way split.
Back- biceps
Chest - triceps
Legs - Shoulder
This however is my concern, I am getting married in 6 months and bought a suit which has room for gaining muscle, but not too much in the upperleg area. I'd like to be more muscled when I am getting married, but due to my suit restrictions I cannot get too muscled in the upperleg area. While I don't want to have skinny legs and a muscular upper body, I don't want to buy another suit.
Currently I have just toned down the excersices I am doing for my legs to squats, lunges and an excersize for my calves.

Six months is really not a long time. You can get to advanced level in 2-3 years (with proper programming) and spend six months just to put on 5-10kg to your lifts after that. By taking six months off, you might miss out on maybe 3-4 pounds of muscle gain. Obviously you don't want to go backwards on your legs, so keep in mind the detraining rates outlined in this answer.
That said, it might be a good opportunity to work strictly on strength (myofibril hypertrophy -- see this answer if that's "Greek" to you) which won't add much mass. You'd be keeping your reps at singles, doubles, and triples. That will set a foundation for more rapid sarcoplasmic hypertrophy once you're ready to gain mass.
