Wedding Attire

"... Downfall of civilization?" OMG!

I hope not! Like Alan H said, being a gentleman is all about treating others with respect... Part of showing that respect is to, as PiobBear put, "As a guest, I dress to suit my host."

So Yeti, DO ask your friends, the bride and groom to be, if what you are intending to wear will be suitable to their occasion.

(And you don't need me to say this)-- And so, gentlemen and ladies, build up your wardrobe to suit the social events and places that you will be attending -- friends' events, official functions, work functions. Not everybody has a suit and tie, apparently because they've not had a need for them.

I know, I know, this is all easier said than done... but the basic guideline to dressing for an event is to suit the host's wishes.
