o'clock weddings.
From six o'clock on, glitter, sequins, and
gowns to the floor are quite acceptable. In
days of yore, a six o'clock wedding would dic-
tate a black dinner suit (tuxedo) for a male
guest But now, a dark suit is acceptable un-

Of course, some people fuss about what
they feel are arbitrary standards dictating what
they should and should not wear to weddings
or anywhere else. But even today, when stores
and designers offer so much variety of styles,
these guidelines serve an important purpose.
Of course, dress etiquette is not written
