Multiple men showed up in dress uniforms to my grandmother's wake (she was not a vet). Sane people know it's a sign of respect.
That's exactly what it is. A military dress uniform is the equivalent of a tux, or a business suit and tie. It shows respect to the ceremony and the occasion.
Now, if it had been camo fatigues and boots, that would have been another matter. But it wasn't.
The Marine was dressed appropriately for the occasion. The bride should not have been upset by the Marine's uniform.
“Frankly it just felt like the only reason he wore that was to be in the spotlight and make it about him, which I don’t think you are supposed to do at someone else’s wedding,” she wrote.
Sounds like the bride was a AS*HO** who didn't like someone looking better than her. Seem like the Uniform and metals shining in her light pissed her off, not his actual service. Not sure why its in the political forum.

Poor groom!
He's ****ed!!
Good grief! It’s not like he wore a Big Bird outfit to the wedding.
US Marine Kicked Out Of Wedding For Wearing his Uniform
meh...
So what?
The bride was a fool for overreacting and making a big deal out of it.
The Marine should have known better than to show up in his blues at a non-military wedding. No doubt he'll face more challenging situations on his next rotation.
Less than 1 percent of the U.S population enlists in the military.........what has the pig face bride done for her country?
If you actually read the source, a lot of comments on the story are from active military who thought it was very crass for the Marine to wear the uniform to a civilian wedding without permission of the married couple. Should the bride probably have ignored it? Probably. But the Marine is not 100% blameless either

A lot of active military were stating their own personal opinions.
The actual regulations have been listed here several times.
The invitation stated "black tie." Military black tie is the mess dress uniform. Heck, it's not even fully formal in the military--it's basically a "party" uniform.
A whole lot--maybe a majority--of Millennial American men don't own any non-casual clothing at all, so it wouldn't be surprising if the only thing this man had that fit the requested level of dress are the uniforms he's required to own. And that's the uniform that fits the level of dress stated in the invitation.
