is denim allright for a wedding?

[la gran siete]

I never wear suits if I can help ,but as i am going to my godson's wedding next week ,I thought I better buy something reasonably smart .Anyway I toddled off to M&S bought a pair of fine blue corderoy trousers then I saw this rather natty blue denim jacket and thought thats kind of unusual so I bought that too .To complete the ensemble I bought a blue denim shirt and a lurid tie to which my wife reacted like she was feeling ill."OH well you cant please everyone" I thought. I shall also be sporting a pair of gaucho boots and maybe a kerchief in my top pocket

Should be OK if the bride's wearing a Vivian Westwood bin bag.

You could probably get away with it for the reception, but not really for the ceremony..

is it a cowboy wedding or something? I want a picture too. (I keep thinking of Brokeback Mountain.)

let me guess, you're waiting for someone to say no and then you're going to go into one about how shallow , image concious and brand junkies everyone is.

My cousin turned up to my sisters wedding ceremony in jeans and a leather motorcycle jacket. He was nearly turned away at the door because it was assumed he was a gatecrasher.

Your Godson probably won't care - but his future bride might.

If any one is going to bothered about it will be her (or her mother) - She will be the one who will worry about wedding photos and what everyone looks like. So I'd ask the bride to be - unless you know them really well, in which case you'll know what to do.

If I was your Godson I would pull back that invite. Do you really want be know as the guy who came with the denim? Seriously though. I don't care if you never wear a suit. This is his wedding day. Make an effort and wear something nice. Hiring a suit costs nothing now adays.

At a wedding lots of pictures are taken and then shown to many others at work etc. You'd stand out a mile. I assume you don't mind multiple people looking at these photos for what will be many years to come and going, "who's that?"

Aside from that I always think that weddings are the brides day and not yours. What would she say?

agreed- my sister had her wedding in May and has another reception in Nov ( one in may was in cyprus) - i would be damn annoyed knowing how much she has spent and the effort she has put in to if anyone turned up in denim- i wouldn't want them there.

Just imagine the facebook comments

"Whos the roady in the denim jacket?"

"I don't know, i think he came for the free beer"

"He looks like an utter tool, its not a bikers convention!"
