Yeah. Reception at English Turn a view years ago. Young kid was very gracious and the wedding was great.

I do agree that busting out the medals too is kind of calling for attention given the context.
You can’t not wear medals or ribbons with the dress uniform on. You have to per regulations.

Most Marines in general are 24 years old or younger.
Basically a kid. I think it is much more likely he didnt think it would be an issue and just wanted to look good for the occasion vs half the people here thinking he was posturing to put a bright light on himself.

Well, first off, this wasn’t black tie, but black tie optional, and I have seen it quite a few times. This really isn’t as unusual as you’d like to make it out to be. It just became a thing in this particular wedding because princess felt upstaged, and she really wasn’t. She just overreacted and made an arse of herself, and that’s the story now of her wedding.
I have a feeling that the groom is in for a really long haul with this gal.

Medals is your highest dress blue option.
If the event was black tie that is as fancy as the uniform gets. Again he was most likely in his mind trying to adhere to the dress code without coming out of pocket for a suit.

The bride's father should have been aware of the situation (and watching for similars) and discreetly nipped this in the bud very quickly.
A bride is an emotional, irrational tinderbox the day of the wedding and the blame partially goes on her "handlers", for lack of a better word.

Get your head out of your butt. The military has been shunned since Vietnam. It subsided for a bit, but now it’s becoming more main stream again.
Cry me a fricking river. My brother is active duty and he'd tell you the same shite. They're revered by most in this country.

I guess it’s the circles you run in. I just don’t see it as a big thing. I get asked to wear my uniform at a lot of “civilian “ functions.

And thats why you limit who you invite to your wedding. I’m not inviting anyone that I know that could potentially dress like a jackarse or do something stupid. Saw some baw I went to grade school with post on snapchat that they had two baws show up in jeans, t-shirt, and steel toe boots to their rehearsal. Came straight from work. Bride made them go home and change.

I've see people wear it at weddings, sure, but not black tie events, which was my question.
My cousin wore his dress blues to my sister's wedding. No one had a problem with it, but he called her to make sure she was fine with it.
I don't have a problem with the uniform, I just believe it's non-traditional at a civilian event, so asking the host is common courtesy. It's not like you're deciding between a regular navy suit or a tux or something.

Yeah, he is just focused on the negative Nancy's. Lots of love still in this country for the military. I will agree it has come down some, but that is because of 9/11 and appreciation was uncommonly high there for awhile, just like people were uncommonly more proud to be Americans and flying flags everywhere right after too.

I said a growing trend.
Most of the country still respects the military but it’s trending down.

But that’s the point. It wasn’t black tie. It was optional, and optional means you are allowed to wear a dark suit in lieu of black tie.

I don't think it'd a big deal, despite my comments in this thread.
I've just never seen it at a black tie affair, only black tie optional or less.
Getting asked to wear is perfectly believable too. People enjoy honoring service in this country.

Nah, I'm on a different point. Military dress uniforms are substitutes for black tie civilian dress code, but I've never seen it at such a function unless someone is being honored or in some other military capacity.

yeah, we've got some major issues to debate on this place don't we?

He's a 24 year old Marine. If he's awake, he's posturing.

I’m not even in the military and I’ve seen it worn quite a few times at weddings, and at formals not associated with the military. It’s never been an issue of contention.

I have a feeling most here haven’t been to an actual black tie event (nor have I) and are basing their opinions on the average south Louisiana wedding. It wouldn’t be weird at 90% of weddings I’ve been to either, but if this chick really had a $400k reception like someone quoted and she specified a certain dress code, I’d say most here aren’t qualified to decide whether his attire was appropriate or not.
Although I do agree she probably should have sucked it up. Sending him home looks bad on her.
I don’t really get why he was invited in the first place since it sounds like they barely know him.
