Inappropriate?
State of Being : Uncomfortable (then)
This posting is way overdue cos my colleague B's wedding was two Sat ago or one day after my birthday (26 Aug). Guess I probably won't forget whenever it's his wedding anniversary then! Ha! (not that it matters to me)... Anw I arrived in jeans for B's wedding that day and felt kinda out-of-place when I realised I was too 'casually dressed'? The rest of my male colleagues were in shirts & pants, *bored* basically the same attire they would be wearing to work everyday. I didn't want to wear the normal working attire on a Sat; I wanted to 'present' a different side of me to my colleagues. Hence, the choice for a striped long-sleeved shirt with jeans! Who is to stipulate that wedding dinner attire would have to be formal - shirt & pants?? Looking back, I guess that's nothing to feel uncomfortable in the first place. Afterall I was decently and smartly dressed for the event and that's the most important thing!
Also worth mentioning is an impromptu segment whereby the compere actually posed a question "Why are people getting hitched at a later age nowadays?" to all those whom are present at the wedding. Huh?? Found it especially offensive to some of my single & unattached female colleagues. Who is to stipulate that someone has to settle down by the age of 30?? IMHO, totally inappropriate of the host to pose such sensitive questions to the guests.
