Weddings - whats appropriate and whats not

[~Trish~]

I agree that you should dress respectfully at a wedding, and maybe these people think they have? Some people have different ideas of what is acceptable to others. It sounds like they made an effort to look nice anyway!

FWIW I have been to a "bogan" wedding (my uncle's) and it takes the cake for the worst dressed people LOL! One lady wore trackies and moccasins , but it was a very casual wedding and everyone was happy, including the bride and groom and that's all that mattered .

Well if the invite says semi-formal then I think you should make an effort. It doesn't say go out and spend a motza, it says wash your face and wear your Sunday clothes.
True, I doubt the bride noticed, but the couple getting married treated everyone to a nice 'event', is it so hard to scrub up a bit?
Saying that though I have witnessed defendents at court in thongs and stubbies/singlets so I guess image just isn't important to some.....

I'm sorry if i offended anybody. My comment about the larger lady wasn't having a crack at her weight at all, im no size 6. But im sure she could have kept her boobs in her dress rather than having them spilling out thats all i was saying. I have a quite large chest myself, i have to go up a size in clothes to make room for them.

And yes i don't think the bride noticed at all, she was very happy. I cried during the vows and the exchange of rings, i was a blubbering mess.

Again im sorry if i offended anybody.

You've just inspired me to go look at my photos again, so thank you Though I looked at the photos I was talking about, and it gets worse... She's in a... a.... COLLINGWOOD TRACKSUIT! I'm so ashamed...

I agree, ver disrespectful. I think there is no place in weddings for jeans, caps tracksuits. Discusting! If anyone shows up at my wedding like that they can leave. I would find it so disrespectful to DP and I.

For me personally I like to get dressed up for a wedding. As for having your chest spilling over, whether a larger lady or skinny lady it is totally disrespectful. There are clothes for all size people and you don't have to pay the earth, nobody else needs to see these on display.

No offence taken here I think it's a fair post.

I also believe that people should dress respectfully at weddings. Simple and stylish with no chance of wardrobe malfuntion.

I do know that for some men, jeans are actually dressing up for them and living in North Queensland it's pretty common for men to wear jeans to weddings, so in my book it's ok.
