Someone in a suit is always suspicious.
They play dress-up to represent something that they aren't, to get you to think that they're serious and competent.
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.
Just about every culture on earth has ceremonial dress. It's a human thing to dress special for special occasions. Don't read too much into it.
