Are “casual attire” weddings even a real thing?
Like, seriously, I have never been to a wedding where people are just wearing whatever the heck they want. And I’m in my mid-30s, so I’m going to several weddings a year at this point! I’ve never seen a denim-jeans-friendly wedding. So why is it hard for some people to understand a formal dress code? You know how many dresses I have borrowed from girlfriends for a wedding? Or nice dresses I got for $8 at the thrift store that made it to a wedding? It’s not that hard. If you need a suit, thrift stores have them too, and then you can get them tailored for pretty cheap. Or borrow a suit from a similarly shaped friend. Like, heck, just wear a button-up and nice pants, and that works too. Jeans? Are you serious…
Redditor u/shewilldietrying recently went to the site to rant about her father-in-law, who keeps giving her strife about dressing up for their wedding. He wants to wear jeans, but she keeps reiterating that it is formal attire. This dude was in the military; he knows how to dress formal and what a dress code is. What is his deal?
The post has sparked other brides to share what their monster in-laws decided to wear to their weddings. From disrespectfully casual to culturally inappropriate, these in-laws need to grow up.
