[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been to several white tie events that were not only in the am, but also at embassies. It's kind of sad how few people here really even know protocol on white tie.[/quote] A formal event at an embassy is hardly comparable to a farm wedding. Here is a link to the many many rules of white tie, which I'm sure the bride and groom will not follow. https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/white-tie-dress-code From the article, here is a description of when white tie is used: (bolded by me) "If you thought black tie was formal, you are in for a shock. White tie is the undisputed champion of formality. In a bygone era it was the standard dress of a formal event. For example, the opening night of an opera. [b]But in these more liberal, modern times it is a rarity and only seen at royal, state or livery ceremonies, balls or banquets. Not even the Royal Box at Ascot requires traditional white tie."[/b][/quote]
