I attended a wedding dinner of a distant relative held at a very posh hotel.
The invitation said formal wear. So last year, the wife dragged all of us to Bangkok to make suits for Son and I. Not to be out done, the wife also got a jacket made. Daughter was stuck in school and she wanted to do her own thing. Fast forward to the important night. Almost all the guys were wearing a jacket. Except for overseas guests, almost nobody was wearing a tie.
We looked, resplendent.
