Great set of links today!

Thank you!

It's nice to have some fun stuff in there, and not be all Brexit all the time!

On my FB page you can see Lorne in his wedding vest.

And very nice it is too! (I wore a purple one for my first wedding)

There is a vast range of wedding outfits in Southeast Asia, since every ethnic group in every country has its own. Search "Brunei royal weddings" for magnificence in a stratospheric class of its own....

There is some scope even in the Anglo style for fancy waistcoats and cravats, and suits in non-funereal colours (search "Oswald Boateng suits").

It's true that many people on-line have a limited understanding of life in the non-Western world...

Yes - I wore a purple fancy waistcoat to my own first wedding. And didn't wear a suit at all to the second one.
