Would you let your girlfriend wear a jumpsuit as your wedding date?

If you're chatting shyt, you're chatting shyt breh

I probably attend more formal events than you breh, which is why I know that if your hosts expect you to dress a certain way, they put that on the invitation. Thats also part of etiquette

If it was a black tie event, it would say so on the invitation and he would have mentioned it. It would be a totally different argument because he could have simply told her that this is black tie and she needs to be wearing an evening gown.

And if the couple getting married or their family were very conservative, he would have mentioned that too. Also, if they are and don't put a dress code on the invitation, it's on them if guests show up wearing outfits they don't like.

Anyways, this guy is upset because he thinks wearing pants is not appropriate for a woman at a wedding, which is ridiculous, unless the invitation explicitly states that woman are expected to wear a dress. Don't try to make this about manners, this is about some guys conservative outlook and insecurities

-fukk what some of y'all talking about. If I'm not in the wedding, just being there, I'm gonna be in a sweatshirt right next to her.
-I only wore a tux to my brothers wedding cause I was a groomsman & had to walk down the isle & stand on stage.
-Don't dress up for court either.

@Umoja @Dorian Breh what exactly is soft about this?

Yeah if I went to court a lot, I probably wouldn’t dress up either. But once every 5 years to dispute a traffic ticket, you’re getting an interview outfit.

Call the wedding off now

Really depends on how he his dressing to go. We either look dope together or naw.

See, I don’t think it’s ugly, but certainly not formal enough for a wedding, anniversary dinner or other black tie affair, IMO. I think he’s an a$$hole for how he talked to her and some of the things he said, but not out of line for suggesting a new outfit and even offering to pay for it. She can wear that jumpsuit to happy hour when outside opens up.

Idk, I feel that unless it specifically states that it’s formal or that all the female guests have to wear dresses, the pants would be fine. I just feel like if it was really important, the dress code would have been mentioned in the invitation.

You'd think so...until you talk to a photographer or caterer and learn just how seriously people take wedding ceremonies. The Jack & Jill types can judge people at their all-white parties for wearing the "wrong" shade of white. It's not that hard to see. People are people.

It’s hard for me to see the point in discussing what these strangers are wearing to a wedding. It’s dumb and not worth an actual discussion to me. Again who gaf. Lol

 

[Orange cream shake]

That’s a perfectly fine jumpsuit for a wedding.
I’m one of those females that always takes note of what everyones wearing and I wouldn’t have anything bad to say about it.

He’s wrong and she should get out now.

This. I’ve been to two weddings in the last several months. One for a 20 year old couple and one for a 40 year old couple, and people had on jumpsuits at both.Hell I almost bought one To wear to the 40 yr old wedding but the chest area wasn’t appropriate and it was a glittery black color.

 

[JT-Money]

I would let her slide on this one because it could've been worse. The chick could've dressed like a prostitute to the wedding instead. You gotta learn to pick your battles.

 

[Ashley Banks]

In no place would this draw negative attention other than a black tie event. I was just in a conservative ass upper-class wedding a few months ago and I recall seeing these kind of jumpers.

So have I.

like this

The one the gf picked isn’t cute to me but it’s definitely not inappropriate.

Definitely more wedding suitable than the one in the OP, imo.

Hey the court thing was a little different. They had recorded evidence, Everyone in that room knew I was guilty . Judge was like "You ain't dressed for court" A suit wasn't gonna help, I was getting sentenced.

My family doesn't really believe in dress up unless it's a work uniform or something. We look at your character.

 

[KeysT]

Truest statement in the thread.

This is not true at all

shouldn’t does not equal won’t. In a perfect world people would pay attention to just the bride and groom. The real world works differently.

Y’all need to stop giving out bad advice

 

[Lootha VanDraws]

leave her ass home then....

 

[Chelsea Bridge]

Lol, but y’all are still together going to an event. You’re not the star, but should dress appropriately for the occasion as a guest.

Yes, true but is that outfit really inappropriate or does he just not want her to wear pants?

I was formerly a crucifer for around 8 years. In that time, I was cross-bearer for 2-3 weddings a month outside of Advent and Lenten times.
So needless to say, I have attended my fair share of weddings.

Unless you are wearing something outrageous... people dont give a fukk what you wear to a wedding. They care about these things.

Bride
Bridesmaids
Groom
Parents of Bride
Groomsmen
Parents of Groom
Flowergirl/Ringbearer

If you're not on that list, and you are not wearing something outrageous, i promise you people have forgotten what you wore.

So if you had this nice tux and you thought you was killing it, or some girl had this dress that she thought was getting all the attention.... this likely wasn't the case.


And a jumpsuit aint really outrageous for most weddings.
In fact, at my own wedding, my Wife's sisters wore jumpsuits. They were the 2 maids of honor so she wanted them to stand out. And everybody said their jumpsuits were

To be fair these were made of very nice nigerian fabric and they had these belt like things that attached to a a see-through cape looking thing.
I dont know anything about women's fashion but they looked fancier than a dress
