Someone who really has competentence and something behind the looks can show up in rags and I will trust that person. Someone in a suit makes me question, what are they hiding? Why the need to show off?

You at a wedding: “Why is every man here wearing a suit? What are they hiding? Suspicion indeed!”

Nah, in this setting I would ask myself:

Why do we require suits for a wedding? We're celebrating a couple, how does wearing a suit make it more celebratory?

And then probably go on a rant about our superficial society.

But the only wedding I would actually attend would be one where we'd sit on the ground in jeans and hoodies and pass a joint, or something like that.

Why not go entirely naked then? Jeans and hoodies is also an imposed norm by society just done by a different sub culture.

People have been dressing in special costumes for celebrations since clothes were invented. Wearing special clothes for special occasions are part of what makes them special.

Also, wearing a suit and passing around a joint are not mutually exclusive:-)

If they are special by virtue of being worn only at special occasions, then suits aren't special at all because a large segment of the population wears them daily.

So the question remains: why wear suits at a wedding?

Those are tuxes, usually tails. Those are worn to concerts or some dinner events, but very rarely worn.

How about cloak or cape? I think those look cooler and more memorable.
