In today's age, they make TV shows about it. You just have to be willfully ignorant to not know this even in early twenties today.

I’ve read the thread. I agree that it’s kind of douchey for him to eat it, but the Marine Corps is full of douche bags. I also said there is a 0% chance that I wear my blues to a non-military event.
However, as per Marine Corps order,
quote:
1. The blue dress "A" uniform may be worn for parades, ceremonies and formal or semiformal social functions, for NCOs and below throughout the year and for officers and SNCOs as appropriate to the season or those occasions requiring uniformity with NCOs and below.
So he wasn’t in the wrong. Because guess what, black tie optional falls under “formal or semiformal social function”

You definitely are sort of aware of it before that, but the lesson really sinks in when you start getting bitchy emails from the bride to the groomsmen from your friend's otherwise calm fiance.

You must be military. Military rules and wedding etiquette are two different things. He isn't wrong following military rules, he is wrong in common courtesy. This is civilian world, your rulebook has no bearing here.

You don’t think that whoever put the regulations together thought about common courtesy?
No matter what you say, he wasn’t in the wrong.
She didn’t specify, she has to just deal with it.

Brother-in-law wore his dress uniform at our wedding.
Didn’t think it was out of the ordinary.

1. Marine Dress Blues are the GOAT military uniform
2. Marines earn their right to wear their uniform anytime they want IMO as long as they are in regs and wear the uniform well.
3. Marines especially starting out get paid like crap. Tux rentals are usually in the neighborhood of 200 easy.
4. He most likely took leave and flew/drove away from his duty station to be there.
5. It is most likely the nicest suit he owns and he already paid for it. Blues and Uniform items are deducted from your pay in boot camp.
6. I have never heard of anyone who had a Military friend ever being offended by a service member wearing their dress uniform to a wedding.

I need to know what nurse thinks before I offer an opinion.
Has she chimed in?
I'm not going back and reading all 20+ pages.

A lot of girls spend a good chunk of their lives thinking about their wedding day. They plan every detail for months and sometimes years. That's why the little things can set off the bride.
That day isn't and never will be about the groom.
Exactly. I literally put my hand in my face when I read that response about it being the grooms day too. That is just an ignorant stupid thought.
A bunch of military folks thinking their shite dont stink in this thread. Why I have a issues with people that put them on a pedestal cause they dont need the extra boost with many, especially ones that didnt do jack, already up high enough in their own head. Same level of stupid arguments for the "right" to a store discount.

This is the government, I work for them. I'm sure they didn't think about that when they put the rulebook together.
The fact that you are unwilling to look at it from another point of view shows you don't understand common courtesy. Most of us here see both sides of the argument even though we disagree who was worse in this situation.

hell, the kid probably asked his parents if they thought it was OK, sounds like they were there, what do you think they the parents would say? of course he should, they're proud as hell of him, that's what I would have told my kid, if it was my wedding and the kid asked me I would say the same, especially if he was about to be deployed

Truth is, it’s supposed to be about two people becoming one, not one person being so incredibly self absorbed that she feels upstaged because a guest wore his dress uniform to her wedding when it was not specified as black tie, but rather black tie optional, and so he wore his dark suit instead.
She severely overreacted to the situation and hurt some people as a result of her actions, and so now, that’s the story of her wedding, and not her wedding day. She did that by overreacting and creating a stink over it. It’s all on her.

That’s a shiny shiny hook my friend.

lmao, he is absolutely right.
It is funny how bent out of shape some posters on this website get if you don't bow down and blindly applaud every time someone mentions their time in the military. It is even happening in this thread with some posters saying..."well I would have thanked the guy wearing that formal uniform". Talk about an eyeroll.
