Although the church ceremony is the most important ritual for the couple getting married, for the invited guests, the wedding banquet that lasts until the early hours of the next morning is the most significant event of the day.
Unlike ordinary banquets, a wedding banquet is purely for enjoyment and celebration, so there is not even a requirement to wear overly formal attire.
On the way back to Saint Delan Square from the church, "Dorothy" explained the dress code to Shard, which surprised him, as he thought he could just rest at home for a bit before heading out:
"Such a high-profile event doesn't require formal wear?"
"Weddings have never been particularly solemn occasions, and at such wedding banquets, there are often many interesting little games. Wearing something too formal would be inconvenient for moving around."
Lecia said, and Shard didn't know why she hadn't switched back with Dorothy, but of course, he wasn't foolish enough to ask about it.
