Incredibly stupid question regarding clothing/weddings.

FWIW I am back now and I would say out of the 150 people there it was split about in half men/women. Out of 75 guys I'd say that maybe 5 had suits or even a jacket on. The guy I rode with to the wedding has to wear a suit all the time for his job, and he ended up wearing a polo shirt and khakis. I'm starting to wonder if my group of friends just has a much more casual view of weddings in general. I certainly didn't feel underdressed at all seeing as 9/10 guys were dressed almost exactly like myself.

Wow, we live in totally different worlds. I was at a wedding on Saturday and, out of about 50 male guests, exactly one guy was not wearing a suit (I made an effort to take notice of it after seeing this thread). I've been to two other weddings in the past year, and both had similar suit/non-suit ratios.

If people were wearing polo shirts and khakis, I would have expected a note on the invitation saying that dress is casual. If there was no note, this is just weird. People don't just show up underdressed to weddings without some reason.

I do this when I'm wearing a jacket and know that I will never be taking it off. Mostly because my weight changes have left my nice clothes collection a little suspect.
