Indians aren't european descendants. You and I are.
To argue that that means I must do what is done in the UK, or Europe, however, or to argue that, at this point, North American cultures are subcultures of European culture, is absurd. Descended from? Yes. Influenced by? Yes. A subset of? Certainly not. The wayward child of? Xenophobic, and offensive.
Considering that you completely diverted from your initial researched choice of dark weird colour palette into exactly what I first suggested and then when I pointed this out previously in response to your wrong assumption you immediately disappeared from the discussion, I think the advice was very valuable to you
We all learn and become informed, but as many have said before me there is no one more dangerous as a preacher then the converted, and having stumbled across some pictures of you in what I believe were home setting (you posted a link to a fundrising page I believe) and then reading and understanding that your research in what to wear at your wedding as now raised your interested so much in formal wear that you seek to wear it at every possible occasions, even the ones where you will probably be the only one and stand out, may confirm this exact statement.
Again, having no substantive response, you resort to personal attacks. Many people suggested many colours of tie, and many of those people suggested something red. I paid attention to the advice of those that I found credible, and polite. I tried those options, and decided upon what I believed looked best. It was, in fact, @MrDaniels who had the largest hand in convincing me to wear the tie I did. I should also point out that the fact that I substituted a waistcoat that was ready at hand, for pictures, when I did not yet have the proper, grey one I planned to purchase all along, confused you into believing I had planned to wear a black, evening waistcoat, with my morning coat, which was never the case. As to the occasions when I have worn formal wear, they include my wife's office Christmas party (at which formal attire was encouraged, and my wife felt it would make a good impression) private black tie events, the opera (with family who were similarly attired) and once for a best-dressed contest, the spirit of which was to stand out, in which I won first place.
The fund raising page has become necessary, because my predicted revenue for the past five quarters was much higher than the actual revenue. Such is the nature of being self employed.
