Do you have to have a tie?

Any noose will do


No seriously what is dress code?
In either case do classic black

I'm getting married in Feb. In 2024, what's more in fashion for a groom?

1. Bow tie
2. Standard necktie

It's your wedding mate. Do what you want to do. I did bow tie with my three piece suit.

Just wear bloody socks.

The last wedding I went to the groom wore a bow tie.

Don't you watch Say Yes to the Dress?

 

[peternorth]

Are you wearing a belt? I suggest an onion belt

 

[the_interloper]

Whatever your wife suggests

This is correct. I didn't like the first suit my wife picked for me but went with it. Of course when it rocked up and I tried it on she didn't like it and had to change it to my first preference anyway.

This was 12 years ago but black suit, black standard tie and white shirt, stay conservative Engimal v3 they'll all be looking at your missus anyway.

I think they are becoming obsolete in the business world, but still worn for formal functions.

Would you go to the funeral of a friend's parent? What about if it was held in a place of worship for a religion that is different to yours?

 

[Gough]

Inner circle yes, acquaintances depend on how much I liked the departed.

Interesting question. Did you know the parent? I went to a mates parents funeral once and even though they said they were fine with it it became obvious afterwards they had an issue with it because I didn't have a relationship with the parent.

I'll share my thoughts in a little while, I'd like to see some other perspectives first

It's a tough one because even if you ask beforehand you may not get an honest answer which is understandable considering they are usually in the midst of some pretty stressful grief. Since that time I made the desicion not to attend unless I had a relationship with the parent or there is an obvious expectation that I attend.

Have many times. Haven't had a situation where it was a different religion to mine (Catholic) but yeah I'd go in that case if I felt I should attend said funeral.

I’d only go if I had some sort of relationship with the parents. As for the religious aspect I wouldn’t have thought it would matter unless you really dislike the religion but again I’d probably put those beliefs aside in the case of a funeral. I’m not religious and I go to funerals at churches.

Catholic funerals have a better chance of a decent wake.

 

[Billy ray]

yes to a close friends parent first and foremost - and thats regardless of whether it is at a place of worship, a place of fun (local pub), a place of peace and quiet (local beach), wherever. venue doesnt matter (unless its like a nazi bunker)

What makes a good wake?

Booze.

Close friend absolutely.

I went to a Rosary last week of a mate's nonna.

I don't know why anyone would have an issue - you're there to support the friend if you didn't know the parents well.

 

[Gralin]

Have done and will do again for close friends

What about if it was held in a place of worship for a religion that is different to yours?

I have no issues with this, as long as I'm invited of course.
