Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : My girlfriend’s close friend, Mary, is getting married next summer and my girlfriend and her friend Julia are going to be bridesmaids. To begin with both Julia and Mary told my girlfriend that I have to wear a suit because it would be inconsiderate of me not to, and every other man will be wearing one. I’m not sure that it’s true though that every other man will be wearing one, since there isn’t any official dress code for the wedding. I told my girlfriend that I didn’t want to wear one because I’m a student and suits are very expensive – She understood me and thought it was ok. So, I told Julia and Mary that I don’t want to buy a suit because it’s too expensive for me. Mary does understand me to some extent, but she still thinks it’d be best to wear a suit in order to fit in, but otherwise she wouldn’t mind if I didn’t wear one. But Julia doesn’t understand me at all and seems to think a suit is the only acceptable thing to wear at a wedding, and that I have to wear a suit in order to fit in and be accepted by the others. But since I’d only be buying it for the wedding, I think it’s a waste of money. I told them I was going to be wearing something nice and that I of course wouldn’t show up in sweatpants or something. But it seems like Julia thinks that a suit is the only acceptable thing to wear at a wedding. I would respect if the bride told me I had to wear a suit, but I don’t feel like spending money on a suit just to fit in and to satisfy one of the bridesmaids. I understand that you can’t show up in just anything and you have to look nice, but I don’t understand why it’s so important for her that I wear a suit. Would I be the asshole for not wearing a suit to the wedding?
