The amount of money poured into the preparation of a wedding and the simple fact that it is a milestone in life, merits full respect to the couple. I agree with this article. It is not okay to be rude in dress or attitude in any situation but especially when attending this kind of ceremony

It may come as a shock to some of you, but many people out there don't have the foggiest idea what is appropriate at weddings, funerals, bar mitzvahs and other formal social occasions. They have not had the advantage of parents who school them in good manners and know the ropes of what is appropriate and what is not. The fruit falls not far from the tree, as they say. You cannot teach your children what you don't know yourself.

I guess the only thing i don't agree with is the hats. Sure i can understand no ball caps or visors, but if it's a lady's dress hat or part of a uniform i don't see why you shouldn't wear it. I guess that one just needs clarification.

pinkshoesclothes was obviously in desperate need of reading this article if she thinks that it's ok for guests to wear white because we all know who the bride is. It's not about being able to recognize the bride, it's just plain rude and an insult to the bride to wear white. So just don't do it. May I suggest you take an etiquette class, you seem to be clueless.Thanks for the article because many people whether they know these rules or not, seem to think they are above following them.

I am also surprised, not to say shocked and dismayed, to see the advice about not wearing a hat to a wedding. Perhaps it's my English background, as per the following answer to a question from a mother of the bride I found on the web:
Dear Ming,
There is no law requiring ladies to wear a hat to an English wedding ... It's just customary that women will do so.
Wearing a hat, especially by the Bride and Groom's mothers, is not only expected, respectful, distinguished and elegant, but is part of the bridal party’s overall beauty, unique styling, and "regal nobility for the day."
Wearing hats to a wedding, especially and English wedding, is exciting fashion that is highly anticipated by all the guests.
If you are skittish wearing a hat, it may be because you are not accustomed to it, have a hard to fit head size or cannot locate an appropriate chapeau in retail stores. You may still have time to have a hat or stylish headpiece custom made for the big event. If I may be of assistance, please call on me.
How wonderful! You are one of the "Queen Mums" for a day. Place your crown on your head and enjoy every minute of it.
Congratulations, Mom!
