    Nah, in this setting I would ask myself:

    Why do we require suits for a wedding? We’re celebrating a couple, how does wearing a suit make it more celebratory?

    And then probably go on a rant about our superficial society.

    But the only wedding I would actually attend would be one where we’d sit on the ground in jeans and hoodies and pass a joint, or something like that.

      Why not go entirely naked then? Jeans and hoodies is also an imposed norm by society just done by a different sub culture.

      People have been dressing in special costumes for celebrations since clothes were invented. Wearing special clothes for special occasions are part of what makes them special.

      Also, wearing a suit and passing around a joint are not mutually exclusive:-)

        If they are special by virtue of being worn only at special occasions, then suits aren’t special at all because a large segment of the population wears them daily.

        So the question remains: why wear suits at a wedding?

      Just about every culture on earth has ceremonial dress. It’s a human thing to dress special for special occasions. Don’t read too much into it.

      My wife and I attended our friend’s wedding in our Hogwarts House outfits, Ravenclaw x Hufflepuff. Everyone else looked like they either had never seen a tailor before or had the same old suit sitting in the closet for years until that day.

      I don’t want to have my ‘best’ dressed day to be in my casket… a man named Jidenna taught me that.
