How should I dress to my cousin's confirmation?

[Torie]

Wear what your cousin would expect and wish you to wear. It is her day - not yours.

I see after I posted this, that Mikado had exactly the same thought, FWIW.

As I noted, she had a nice dress her parents got her at the service--and was in a school sweatshirt and jeans as soon as I saw her at her house.

Excerpt from the phone convo with my mom I just had:

Me: You know, she did change into her school shirt and jeans as soon as we got home...
Mom: Well yes, she's not a dress up person.
Me: Just like me, huh?
Mom: Well yeah I suppose.
Me: Now did I care growing up if people dressed up to special occasions about me?
Mom: No, you really didn't.

I think I got my point across. I'm not surprised either, my cousin is a smart girl.

Yes, BRTD, we're very much aware that Western culture is in steady decline.

So Lief, would you dress up to go to Dudefest?

Do you still have the Apple shirt?

Trying to convince you to dress up on any sort of moral basis is out of the question. So I'll try it a different way. If you're going to a mosque or some worshipping place of another religion, what do you do? By all standard conventional wisdom, you do as the proverbial Romans do. Respect the customs & traditions of the place you are entering even if you don't agree with it. Otherwise, don't go.

I would NEVER attend any place of worship that denied Jesus Christ.

Why? Do you think God would be angry?

Yes actually although it just sits in the bottom of my hamper and I'll never wear it lol.

Because it's not what I believe.
