Random Thoughts on Wedding Attire


Wedding Attire
Well it's that time of year again when at least two or three weddings are happening each weekend and we have to decide what lovely outfit we want to wear to the glorious union. But I have a major beef on the mater. You see, there is no comfortable wedding attire! 


Think about it, for guys we have the choice between button up shirt, button up shirt or button up shirt. The only diversity we can exhibit is in the color. Then we have the always uncomfortable tie, that can be either a normal tie (color of your choice), bow tie or sans tie....OHHH the possibilities. 
Finally there is the pants, we literally have to always wear long pants and dress shoes. I want to wear runners and a pair of shorts, fudge give me a pair of flip flops and I am in heaven. In fact, for my sister's wedding I think I will wear runners; my classy black shinny ones...that way the church wont burn down from my winged shoes.
But the reason I am thinking about this is in just over 2 weeks, my little sister is getting married and it's my responsibility to look grown up and presentable, what else is there for gay men to do at these things? I know there wont be a single Mo there, so gotta look the part...(Takes another drink realizing that out of 150 guests he is the only one who uses the word Fabulous to describe his day)....

Where was I? Oh yes, with my sister's wedding I have been trying on various outfits to determine which would work for the day, and today I found myself dripping sweat just trying the god damn things on...Now imagine me in a church (she isn't getting married in a church, but imagine it!) I would be sweat even more profusely....and no one wants a soaking wet, armpit showing outfit....
So my question is...why must wedding attires be so formal! I want me a pair of shorts, tshirt and flip flops....Official dress code of my future nuptials....take note now.
