My first thought as well. My second thought was, when you get down to it, who cares unless either one was someone you (the general you, no one in this thread) knew.
This is another fictional yahoo item being treated as news. They are pretty easy to spot ... they almost always involve a younger female, either a wedding faux pas or "outraged mom" story.
The last few I have seen don't even bother with names, places etc.

I'll answer since you ask question.
You cared enough to read it and post in a topic about it.
The dress code was black tie optional -- which would suggest guests were invited to wear formal/tuxedo attire.
That's the important thing here. I don't think it was out of line at all. I'm guessing it's the most formal outfit the young man owns.
Quote:
Traditionally worn only for events after 6 p.m., black tie is less formal than white tie but more formal than informal or business dress.[2] As semi-formal, black tie are worn for dinner parties (public, fraternities, private) and sometimes even to balls and weddings, although etiquette experts discourage wearing of black tie for weddings. Traditional semi-formal day wear equivalent is black lounge suit. Supplementary semi-formal alternatives may be accepted for black tie: military uniform (mess dress), religious clothing (such as cassock), folk costumes (such as highland dress), etc.
I could not imagine my wife nor any woman I know, caring if someone wore a military uniform to their wedding, or even caring and being concerned about this being "upstaged" nonsense.
Why did he wear his dress blues to a non-military wedding?
Just a guess.
He earned the right to be proud of his uniform? As far as I can tell there is no regulation that and a Marine from wearing his uniform to a private wedding. I wouldn't have worn my uniform, but I have been to weddings where folks wore their dress uniforms rather than a suit. LOL most of them didn't own suits.
Some women go all freakazoid over their weddings,( even worse their mothers), Im not even a little surprised. She might have been worried that he was taking attention away from her.
Well, the likelihood that this actually happened is vanishingly low. But to the extent it did, they are both uncouth boors. Plenty of other service members think that this was inappropriate on the Marine's part. And Bridezilla may have been legitimately bothered by what seems like an attempt to upstage her but she was an idiot for making him leave.
Offsetting fouls, I suppose.
