One of my sweet cousins was once engaged to a man who thought this type of casual clothing was equally good for the bride and groom! She broke her engagement to that man, became five years wiser, and then married a very nice man.
Her wedding to the nice man was unusual in a few ways. After the processional music swelled and we stood and turned to watch her walk down the aisle, she (standing with her father) froze in place for several minutes. Thankfully the music kept playing. During the ceremony, the priest kept referring to the groom by the groom's brother's name (it turned out the priest was drunk).
One unfortunate thing about their wedding reception was the venue. It had no air conditioning on a humid, 95 degree day. It also featured a very very tiny ten foot by ten foot wooden dance floor. Since the reception began at 6pm, and the bride and groom didn't take their first dance until 1045 pm, no one else got to dance for five hours.
In addition, their wedding planner had guests stand in a very long line and INDIVIDUALLY receive their dinner table assignment. She didn't want guests switching table cards and deciding on their own where they wanted to sit for dinner, since it was a small venue with limited seating. It's surprising the planner didn't visit every table during the meal/dessert and check whether any guest DARED to switch their assigned seat!
