I'm all for sticking up for the ones I care about. But only if they need me to do that. Some of the people I know are likely to just allow themselves be walked on. But this chiming in crap....

Excuse me, I know someone who is offended by the word 'crap'. Take that back!

Woah, I got a fright for a second there and thought you were serious. I don't get jokes sometimes!

Not sure what you're referencing here but a friend recently made a similar point to me about people voicing disagreement on behalf of others. It really depends on what was said and in what context tbh.

It's part of that whiney American thing that's cropping up where "Everybody should be accepted and treated equally....but go fcuk yourself for being a white striaight cismale" I literally had to google what cismale was today because it was popping up everywhere. Think it's good that we don't get offended for others and barely get offended ourselves

There's an old internet meme about this where the lack of smileys make it hard to tell if someone is serious or not. Can't remember what it's called.

Anyway, context is important but social interactions in person are wildly different than online.

For sure. I was advised by someone here before to include a smiley where possible if my message could possibly be interpreted a different way to how it was intended. Eh,

I guess.

I think I wore a dark blue-ish navy suit to the last one I was at. Not everyone else there wore suits and dresses, some had on their "Sunday best".

If wearing a stripey shirt choose a plain coloured tie and vice versa - tie with pattern and single colour shirt.

Usually a shirt, tie and suit pants would suffice. Depending on the weather of course.

It's really one of those meaningless things that people worry about.. Nobody will care what you wear but if you have suitable clothing already you will be fine.

I wouldn't be buying anything of consequence.

Yeah its the afters. Suit for wedding alright but not the afters.
Skip the tie unless you want a drunken woman to grab it to rock out to AC/DC.....

Just me?

I'll wear a tie so :P

Thanks for the help

You can easily skip the tie but if you are worried about it and have one stick it on.

Pentecost · 08-09-2015 7:39pm

Shirt, tie, pants is grand for an afters. You can take the tie off when the dancing starts in earnest. I've been to so many bloody weddings at this point that I'm almost an expert on every dilemma. Except the wedding night in the bridal suite you'll have to figure that out for yourselves.

Just dont go the way of a dickie bow and untucked white shirt. Ive seen it far too often over the past few years and 90% cant pull it off and look like fools.
