How casual can one get at a wedding?

My husband bought and wore brand new corduroy jeans and new T-shirt and I wore my favorite hippie dress with the plunging neckline down to the waist. It was a catered affair--champagne & cookies.

I don't think the judge ever got over it. After all, it was Wisconsin, not Vegas.

We lasted.
 

Call me the big cynic but I figure that if you can't make an effort to dress up for such an important day, what kind of effort are you going to put into your marriage? Do much trouble to dress up? eh? Late, it will be too much trouble to buy her flowers, too much trouble to help around the kitchen, too much trouble to tell her that he loves her.

Along the lines of what I thought.
 
At my nephew, Jay's recent wedding I attended over Labor Day weekend,he& his groomsmen all had matching suits & ties,his bride Francesca wore a lovely white floral gown,her bridesmaids wore same color dresses off white.My brother wore a matching suit like Jay's
 
I haven't been to a wedding in some time, so have no idea. The last wedding we attended... we were one of two pairs of 'witnesses' for the groom and bride. Why she chose us, I'll never know. But, we felt honored standing next to her as their vows were said. I couldn't take my eyes off of her false eyelashes as they were blinking like crazy.

Birthday suits? Indeed they are, but one or two might need a little help in presentation.

" if you can't make an effort to dress up"
They have made an effort to dress up, the difference being that their standards are not the standards of others. It doesn't make them slovenly or louche just because they have a different outlook on what dressing up means.
 
PamfromTx…I know what you mean about the eyelashes. I was in Walmart last week and couldn’t stop looking at the lashes on the cashier. They were at least two inches long…never seen anything like it. And, I didn’t find them to be attractive.

You make a good point but we really don't know the guy. Maybe he buys her flowers and cooks her dinner and celebrates her every day.
