KSB2424 3,148 Posted May 8, 2014 Listen - part of being a man is being able to wear a nice suit and not look/act like mommy just dressed you in scratchy pants and a clip-on tie. You wear a nice suit, you dance with your SO, and you dance with your mother if she's there. Every wedding has that same focking doofus who can't wear a suit because he's too "blue collar" or "tough guy" to wear a focking suit and he also doesn't at least slow dance with his wife or mom. Grow a focking set of nuts already and stop being a man-child. Spot on post. I attended a wedding last weekend. First thing I did at the reception was ask my Mother-In-Law to dance. Gave a wink to the wife as I was doing it. I cannot express enough the amount of points that scored me from the wife, my in laws and all the other MILF's at the reception. I love puttin' on a nice suit, I rarely get to do it so when I do I make sure I do it right. Bunny, at the very least wear a sports coat and skip the tie. A much better 'adult' look than the shirt and tie without a coat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BunnysBastatrds 2,452 Posted May 8, 2014 Well if that is how you identify yourself, your question is answered. Personally I'd rather wear a tasteful collared shift and slacks than wear a coat and tie and suffocate through the ceremony. If you plan on taking it off anyway, why not ditch the coat at least? It's how I present myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mile High Drunk 13 Posted May 8, 2014 Some of us understand fashion. Anyway, I think we've established that a jacket is a must for bunny. My personal advice would be to wear a tie for the wedding then lose it after the ceremony for the open collar evening look. Got to agree here. If it wasn't in a church you could go slacks and button up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BudBro 183 Posted May 8, 2014 I'm a lot of things white trash but I am fashionable. Don't know how or why it happend, but I always dress the part. When I play golf, I look like a pro and play like a ho drinking forties. i believe you have answered your question. dress the part and look like a man. pay attention and renew your promises you made to your wife while you're there.

Dressing formally is appropriate as not to draw attention away from the wedding party, and dancing is a nice gesture. But seriously, it's just a set of clothes and nobody will care as long as you are clean, groomed and unwrinkled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whether they should care or not, it's quite possible somebody will get their noses vent out of shape if you dress too far outside of the "acceptable" range at a formal affair like a church wedding.

wiffleball 4,790 Posted May 9, 2014 too many East Coast focks don't get the idea of clothing varies by region and circumstance. went to a hundred year old church recently for a funeral. Average age was probably 60 and most people didn't wear a tie. if you judge somebody on that on a day like that youre a real f****** . most of us were more worried about the person in the box and het family than who is wearing what. sounds like something a would do.

Whether they should care or not, it's quite possible somebody will get their noses vent out of shape if you dress too far outside of the "acceptable" range at a formal affair like a church wedding. There may be people who would get bent out of shape, but if it isn't a member of the wedding party, fvck them. If he is a member of the wedding party he should wear whatever they request, of course. Also, I think "quite possible" is way overstated, lest his friends are fashionsistas. I'll venture to guess 90%+ of the population would care less if a guy showed up to a wedding without a coat, if his clothing was neat and understated.

The East coast is definitely more uptight about formality. As long as you aren't drawing attention away from the event you're attending, most reasonable people won't get bent out of shape over something so inconsequential.

penultimatestraw 473 Posted May 10, 2014 True. They don't make the man. They just make him look better. In this scenario, they can also show respect for the occasion. It's interesting to me how the presence of a jacket, even when wearing one is unbearably uncomfortable and it will in all likelihood be removed as soon as possible, makes such a big difference to some of you guys. I also don't understand how imposing such a dress code, with which some guests will not be thrilled, is any less douchey than providing a vegetarian meal at the reception. It doesn't matter if the guests look like royalty, and their words and actions can/should show far more respect than any item of clothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The guy lives in LA. He should invest in a linen. or cotton poplin suit for god's sake. I wore a suit and tie every single day for 12 years when I lived in Dallas and Atlanta.

BunnysBastatrds 2,452 Posted May 12, 2014 Was the temp tolerable? Wasn't to bad. Mid 80's and it was overcast with a chance of rain. We walked from the church to the bar that was two blocks away. I kept the jacket on even though I was perspiring a little. Drank two mai-thai's at the bar and all was good. The wax museum was pretty fawking cool. It was built in the 50's and shows life in New Orleans from the early 1700's to present. Went there when I was a kid on field trips but had totally forgot about it. They had wax statues and settings from past politicians, Louisiana purchase, the War Of New Orleans. The Civil War, Voodoo, prostitution, gambling, and slavery. They have an exhibit that shows slave owners beating the slaves after dinner for sh!ts and giggles. There's a woman dressed in a ball gown whipping a black man in a stockade thingy. Very freaky the way the staues appear to watch you watching them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
