Wear what you dare…no, really!
By Never teh Bride
No doubt some brides- and grooms-to-be invite guests to wear whatever they like and cross their fingers that their friends and relatives won’t take their admonition too far. But not UK residents Dave Brown and Barbara Smith. They said “wear what you dare” and meant it. The vampires, skeletons, superheroes, nuns, and Native Americans in attendance made the bride and groom look practically conservative. Brown was decked out in a kilt in his family’s tartan and Smith donned a red and black, silk and leather gown.
[Brown's] dad Malcolm said: “I sat at my son’s wedding with SpongeBob SquarePants next to me!”
So next time you ask a MOB or MOG about the formality of the upcoming wedding only to be told that any old thing will be just fine, suit up in your Jack Sparrow costume or your poodle skirt. Just don’t wear this:

My sister went to a wedding on Halloween last year (which fell on a Monday here-weird) and everyone was told to dress up, she went as Cat woman!

Wow. Now there’s a wedding where not onnly the bridemaids can look back at their outfit in shame or horror..

It sounds like fun UNLESS it ends up looking like the downtown area of my collegetown on Halloween.
“What are you dressed as?”
“I’m a slutty _________.”
For the record, I never celebrated Halloween as a kid so I’ve always dressed to scare, not to get my ass grabbed and a bout of pneumonia.
Judging from some of the horror stories/pictures I’ve seen in wedding blogs and such, taste is an issue depending on the guests. As long as everyone’s pretty covered up and enjoying themselves, I guess I just gotta say “PARTY ON!”

I say: A wedding where everyone looks equally ridiculous is a wedding that will never go out of style!
