Thanks for posting this.  Ladies, notice that there is not one tuxedo worn at a wedding until the 1950's!

So what?  Times change and so does fashion choices.  White wedding gowns didn't start being worn until Queen Victoria set the trend.  So are we not supposed to wear white gowns because they weren't always "traditional?"

Also, back in the day most, if not all weddings took place in the daytime, where you of course know, that tuxes weren't appropriate for that time of day.  Also, people were always a bit more 'well dressed' (changed for meals and were just more formal in their attire) then they are today, because like I said before times change and fashion changes with them and what is and is not appropriate also changes in people's minds.

But in the end if someone wants to wear a tux at 8am because that is what they like and what they want to wear then who I am I to really care.  Just like we tell people to not care what their guests wear to their wedding we as guests should not care what the bride and groom are wearing either. Their clothes, their bodies, their choice.

You can ignore the guidelines for proper clothing if you want to.  You are the one who will look foolish.

I just think it is interesting the ladies who are having time themed weddings (1920's, etc.)  think tuxedos have always been worn to weddings.  They are relatively new!

You will only look 'foolish' if you allow other people's judgments to bother you.
