I cant go to weddings. I'm not much into watching a guy commit suicide.

Clearly, from the answers given so far, the dress code for the wedding you are going to will depend on the wedding you are going to.

Traditionally an evening wedding is exclusively black tie, but unless the invitation states that for a fact, you are unlikely to see anyone but the wedding party that dressed up. All of the weddings I have ever gone to have either been black tie or suit and tie. These have generally been affluent couples in the Northeast, so your mileage may vary...

Almost always a suit.... but if it's 90 degrees in the shade, and the wedding location isn't air conditioned, I'll skip the suitcoat.

Well to answer some questions. The wedding is going to be in August, in the early afternoon. Bah maybe I should call the bride.

If it's in August, you might get away with not wearing a strictly black suit/nice tie, but nice slacks and a blazer, with a tie.

If the wedding is huge and formal, you better dress up. they spent a lot of money on the event, you should at least dress accordingly.

If the wedding is less formal, please be dressed up for the ceremony at least. It is respectful. I know someone who's ceremony was formal, but held her reception outside, and asked that everyone please change into more comfortable clothes. the reception was all mexican food.
