If you came to my funeral in a suit, I would probably come back and haunt you.I genuinely can't even fathom this. What would you do if someone died tomorrow and you had to go to a funeral?

The tradition of wearing a suit to a wedding is definitely not thousands of years old. Or universal."I know better than the collected wisdom of thousands of years of human history. Screw those old dead bastards, what did they know?"
Tradition is tradition for a reason.
The tradition of wearing your "finest attire," whatever that may be, is thousands of years old and universal. I wouldn't expect a Bangladeshi wedding to have a lot of people in Western business suits.The tradition of wearing a suit to a wedding is definitely not thousands of years old. Or universal.
Aren't you just answering your own beef you have with this whole suit thing?? If it's wearing your finest attire then people are going to go through their closet and...wait for it...find their finest attire and that is going to depend on each and every person what the content of their closet is.The tradition of wearing your "finest attire," whatever that may be, is thousands of years old and universal.

My husband would go in a button-down shirt and tie, slacks, and dress shoes.I genuinely can't even fathom this. What would you do if someone died tomorrow and you had to go to a funeral?
…denying entry to the underdressed.

And while I’m at it…I'll dress how you want me to dress as long as you're ok slipping and sliding in all the sweat I've dripped on the floor. I don't wear suits. I don't wear long sleeves. You're lucky that you see me at a wedding in long pants. Make me dress fancy, and it's you who is going to have to deal with being around the smell of me pouring out sweat roasting in the fancy clothes.
Plus I'd appreciate it not being called a slob just because I think skipping out on 3 months of my electric bill just to buy fancy clothes is ridiculous.
Rosanne, the best!!!!
You've never been to a Midwest wedding, I assume? jeans and a clean top is a-ok at most.Never in my life have a seen anyone show up that under dresses to a wedding or a funeral (and I hate dressing up).
Neither my husband, nor my son's, own suits. For all the funerals we have been to, it's khakis, polo or button down, clean shoes (tennis shoes, more than likely!).I genuinely can't even fathom this. What would you do if someone died tomorrow and you had to go to a funeral?
WhenI said I was afraid it was a saying , you never heard something said that way. I said it was fine for him to wear dress shirt. And pants. Not really afraid….lolI'm curious... why are you "afraid" of Weddings getting more casual? Unless you are the ones getting married, why do you care what anyone else wears to the wedding?
Well said!Fancy clothes do not equal respect for the deceased (or bridal party).
You beat me to itAren't you just answering your own beef you have with this whole suit thing??

Sounds like you might want to expand your viewpoint.
We can toss in a few remarks about wearing matching t-shirts and Crocs to the event, might push it up to 125 posts.89 posts now. Can we make it to 100 on this wedding/suit thread.

Yes, of course I've heard it. But it's usually in response to something you didn't like... "I didn't win the lottery I'm afraid to say". It sounds like you're afraid weddings are getting too casual, so I was asking why.WhenI said I was afraid it was a saying , you never heard something said that way.
