Does anyone really wear a hat to a wedding anymore?

[Julia3000]

My sister is getting married soon , and she asked about the hat I going to wear. I wasn't going to wear one- which seems to have upset her. I don't like wearing hats- I find them uncomfortable, and they don't suit me. I didn't think many women wore hats to weddings these days.

I do.

I always do, but that's because I love them and it's a good excuse to wear one.
I'm usually the only person wearing one. Most people do fascinators now.

You'd be the odd one out around here if you went without a hat. You'll look like you left home in a hurry and hadn't finished getting ready properly.

I do but I've been to loads of weddings and hats are not the norm any more, it's all fascinators and twiggy shit.

Some do, some don't but it is entirely your choice. I find it a bit strange that your sister is bothered one way or the other but maybe she really likes the opportunity to wear a hat and doesn't understand you not feeling the same way?
Don't wear one if you don't want to.

lol at "twiggy shit"

I must admit I hadn't thought of wearing "twiggy shit" in my hair! Maybe that would be an exceptable alternative! Is it just scraped off the ground, or is it made to order?

I haven't worn a hat to a wedding for years

That's sorted then- no hat it is!

Thank god.

I love hats, but not wedding type hats. Fascinators make me want to vomit.

I've just been invited to a wedding, I was coming out i hives at the thought of 'the hat'.

I'm not sure that the family would forgive me though.

Oh, what the heck.

I do. It's the one thing I like about weddings. Fascinators are for wimps.

I do but I love hats. When I got married I encouraged people to wear hats but lots said they didn't feel comfortable in one and I certainly didn't get annoyed at them!

Fewer people wear them, but as family of the bride you really should if anyone is going to. You take this one for the team.

Me. Every time and every excuse. Turns a fairly ordinary tunic trousers ensemble into an 'outit' and keeps your mother quiet. What's to go wrong?

Ahem. *outfit.

lol - Facinators round here - but getting bigger each wedding I went this year
