Whenever there is a dress code people ask what's ok and what's not ok especially when not sure. His fault he made an oopsy. I don't think the bride was immature for having him removed. I think it was kind of rude of her to do so especially if he had to travel to come to the event but she did what she did probably under emotional duress. It's a very special day and he put a damper on it. As well all can agree since it was her event/special day she could kick out whomever she wanted.

@Based Serb not having anything else to wear isn't a valid excuse. When there is a dress code for an event when in doubt ask for permission or confirmation your outfit is ok. Nothing wrong with doing that. If they really wanted him there they would have told him yes to come like that or tell him to come in jeans /something else.

The bride was wrong for kicking the Marine out of the wedding

[@johnfahey8817]

Semper Fi my Marine Corps Brother

[@karenrich9092]

I agree that the marine had a right to be in uniform. Would this bridezilla have felt differently if it was a woman in military uniform?

[@Splexsychiick]

He had no right to be dressed like that. It was a private none military event. A wedding. There was no reason for him to come dressed like that. If the bride wanted him in full uniform they would have said so. I've seen weddings with military friends and family dressed in full uniform. He should have asked if it would have been ok (he didnt). Since it's a private event...a wedding they had every right to kick him out of it for what ever reason they felt was just. Its rude to upstage the bride and groom on their wedding day.

@@Splexsychiick he did have a right to be dressed like that. Sure they also have a right to kick him out but the way I see they're just jealous

[@Splexsychiick]

@@augustuslunasol10thapostle I feel like people like you don't often get invited to these sort of social events. I guess it would be the bride and groom fault as well if someone showed up in a bird suit. It's not like they told guest _not_ to wear a bird suit. It's common sense. Social norms, etiquette and all that jazz. Common sense ain't always common I suppose. Not like he was the only marine or military man at the event...yet he was the only one decked out. Yet it doesn't ring off to you that he was the problem. He had no good reason to come dressed like that. None what's so ever. Not having anything else to wear isn't even a good excuse.

What is wrong with people I would of told her to leave

[@Ricee_e]

I’m not very familiar in the wedding or military scene but why wear your uniform to someone’s wedding in the first place? It just doesn’t seem like appropriate attire for that kind of occasion to me.

[@brucetumpalan6399]

The USMC Dress Blues in function, are for a black tie event in civilian standards. The wedding was a black tie event, so the Marine was not wrong in the technical sense of wearing his uniform. Bride just got real jealous.

[@Splexsychiick]

@@brucetumpalan6399 ....I disagree. He was wrong in the technical sense and in the 'lets use common sense way'. No one asked him to come in full uniform. No one told him it would be ok. It's a wedding not just some black tie event. Only time it would be ok is if they had told him it's ok to dress in full uniform. Yes the bride was jealous. Etiquette dictates you don't upstage the bride and groom.

[@WinPPham]

@@brucetumpalan6399 it’s not a military event man. Total boot move. Like showing up to high school graduation in your dress blues. Just, wrong time and place. Common sense.

[@silntstl]

@@WinPPham Is a funeral a military event? How about a parade? Military event? A graduation? A dance? A Ball? Everyone of these could or could not be a military event and yet they are all authorized uniform wear. Your OPINION doesn't change that.

[@WinPPham]

Marine wrong for showing up like that. Bride wrong for kicking him out. But bride’s perogative.

[@Nikwalenda]

Exactly

[@austinshannon4197]

The bottom line is it was immature of her to ask him to leave.

[@patrickgarcia4176]

What is she 6 years old needing all that attention?

[@ulrohermit1369]

Not the couple, just the bride, jeesh

[@jadsmvs8651]

Kicking him out was a bit much. Yeah, it's pretty boot to wear your formal dress uniform or Class As to a wedding and I'll agree that he probably did it to get some attention, but it didn't need to be such a big deal. She brought this down on herself.

[@taoliu3949]

Not everyone can afford a tuxedo. Why purchase/rent a tuxedo if I already own a perfectly serviceable black tie attire?

[@SS-zy1xy]

I scrolled through a few comments and didn't see anyone say it so I will, Reddit is a reliable source for news for that station?

[@thomaswood6021]

The bride was/is the immature person in this situation.

[@dennismoody8140]

I am sorry couple but as Veterans my wife and I both feel the Marine was with in his right to wear his uniform to the wedding and the couple or the Bride should have welcomed him with open arms

[@summertea545]

Sounds more like she didn't want to be outdone in apparel.

[@clintshiplett8548]

Black tie optional means Formal strongly encouraged.
