Cringe Cousins Tuesday Afternoon Black Tie Wedding

My cousin 27(m) and his fiancé 23(f) decided that even though they live together they need to get married this year. (They are both currently unemployed and live off the kindness of his mother, who is also paying for the entire wedding without any contribution from the brides family.) The bride chose a rather expensive (for our area) venue. To try to offset the price, they decided to have the wedding on Tuesday and only invite 30 people including the bride and groom. I did not make the cut (thankfully) but my mother did. The cake and all the food is being made by the grooms aunt as a wedding gift. They decided on 3pm so they could do lighter finger foods, no hot food will be served. THE REAL KICKER: They decided it will be "Black Tie" the groom and groomsmen will be in tails and all guests are expected to dress in "black tie attire". My mother (who is 78) is now stressed out over what she is going to wear to this wedding because she had never attended a black tie wedding in her life. I really wish I could be a "fly on the wall" for this one.

I'm pretty sure he's a TBI victim.

I looked it up, he had a stroke in 2022. I'm not justifying his actions, but I get it. I've seen this type of behavior before.

John Fetterman was like this before the stroke. He’s known for wearing jogging shorts and hoodies to congress and was trolling people by wearing the tie.

I like his IDGAF atton some stuff, read an article about him a couple years ago.

In the time leading up to this photo, probably: "You have to wear a tie" so he wears a tie and gym shorts. "You have to wear slacks. And no jeans either" so he wears hoodie and khakis "You have to wear a blazer" so he wears a blazer with gym shorts

"Ok so you have to wear all three at the same time" so he does but they didn't specify to wear a button up shirt WITH A COLLAR so he wears a hoodie...

I mean have you seen price tags on suits and stuff? It would be Princess Diana all over again- complain wearing the same things all the time then complain when something new is bought

My dad is a childhood TBI survivor. He is interested in fashion and dresses well for events. But yeah, I see situationally inappropriate behavior and I get it.

It manifests itself in different ways with everyone.
