Must Fathers wear tuxes to the wedding if it's too hot?
My daughter is getting married in July outdoors in Las Vegas, Nevada at 1:00pm. The temperature will probably be close to 115 degrees. They have decided on a formal wedding with her in gown with train, groom and attendants in tuxes, and her father giving her away in a tux. The FOG really doesn't want to wear a tux. I am MOB and remarried and my current husband, (who has paid for most of the wedding) is willing to wear a tux. Should he even if FOG refuses to. FOG says it's gonna be too hot.

The tux is formal evening attire. So, none of them should wear one. They could wear a suit or a stroller if this is truly formal. They will be hot though. With a formal gown and train, the venue would have to be very formal. If not, perhaps they could choose less formal attire.
I understand. However, my daughter and her fiance don't. It's their wedding and they want the men to wear tuxes. She insists her dad wear one. I've been reading how all the men should dress alike. But we're going to have groom, BM, groomsmen, FOB in tuxes. I can't tell them differently. So now the question is what about FOG? Step father of Bride?
I understand. Many will go for fashion instead of etiquette. It really isn't my rule anyway
If the rest of the men wear tuxes, the fathers should as well. Typically the stepfather dresses as one of the guests. However, since he and you are hosting, it would be better that he dresses as one of the fathers. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now
