People have been dressing in special costumes for celebrations since clothes were invented. Wearing special clothes for special occasions are part of what makes them special.
Also, wearing a suit and passing around a joint are not mutually exclusive:-)
If they are special by virtue of being worn only at special occasions, then suits aren’t special at all because a large segment of the population wears them daily.
So the question remains: why wear suits at a wedding?
My wife and I attended our friend’s wedding in our Hogwarts House outfits, Ravenclaw x Hufflepuff. Everyone else looked like they either had never seen a tailor before or had the same old suit sitting in the closet for years until that day.
I don’t want to have my ‘best’ dressed day to be in my casket… a man named Jidenna taught me that.
Nah, in this setting I would ask myself:
Why do we require suits for a wedding? We’re celebrating a couple, how does wearing a suit make it more celebratory?
And then probably go on a rant about our superficial society.
But the only wedding I would actually attend would be one where we’d sit on the ground in jeans and hoodies and pass a joint, or something like that.
Why not go entirely naked then? Jeans and hoodies is also an imposed norm by society just done by a different sub culture.
Because it may be cold, and I like my body in a mild climate.
And if it’s in Florida type heat? Then we do the naked wedding for you?
YES

Cause they get ya laid.
Those are tuxes, usually tails. Those are worn to concerts or some dinner events, but very rarely worn.

Just about every culture on earth has ceremonial dress. It’s a human thing to dress special for special occasions. Don’t read too much into it.
How about cloak or cape? I think those look cooler and more memorable.
