Can you wear what ever you want to a wedding.

The reason I ask is because my mom went to a wedding today. It was a church wedding. My mom called me right after the wedding to complain about how one of my cousins was dressed. She wore leggings and a tank top. My mom is all upset over it. I was happy I didn't have to go. So is my mom over reacting. I see her point but it is hard for me to see how this is the end of the world.

it's just kinda in poor taste. like wearing thigh high boots and miniskirt to a funeral, there's not a lot of respect for the event and the people involved when you pick some things for attire.

Good point. Thanks
She should have shown more respect to the wedding couple and their families. Your mom has a legitimate reason to be concerned but she is over reacting just a bit.

The funny thing is if I had been there I wouldn't have noticed her unless her hair was on fire. LOL
@spandexblue: haha yeah well sounds like it was a traditional, religious ceremony and these ceremonies require decent, acceptable clothes for the occasion.

Idk my mom also do it.She is very particular about what I need to wear in social gatherings.Mom's are good observers I guess.However my father is always concerned about food.My father over reacts over quality of food.He will make sure we all eat each variety.He over reacts if food is not good in weddings.Dad is foodie ,so even he over reacts we know its his love for food.

I know what you mean about dads and food. Mine is the same way.

LOL 😄
A tank top to a wedding is kind of tacky. Weddings are a special event that you are invited to and expected to dress the part. Still,I don't see why your mom cares enough to complain.

I don't know why my mom cared enough to bother me about it. LOL It's not like I'm going to say anything to my cousin about it. LOL
@spandexblue: she probably only needed someone to complain to. That's what my mom does anyhow. Finds a safe person to complain to and then goes about her business like everything is golden.

It's nice to know that I'm not alone. Thanks

Usually the couple set the tone of their wedding based on time of day, the decorations, and their choice if dress. My thing it if I'm the bride, I'm just going to be happy that someone cared enough to come to my wedding.

Ah generally there is an effort to be made
Dressing up is the custom

Therefore dressing down is a no-no
It's a basic courtesy
But not everyone follows it

Still not the end of the world though, right? LOL

That's not appropriate to wear to a wedding assuming the dress code isn't casual.
It's a bit old fashioned. . But smart is the key

I was thinking it sounded a little old fashioned
