Not black to a funeral? I've never heard that.
And I've seen men in black at weddings all the time. The rule for women seems to be loosening.
And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
In general, you shouldn't wear black to a wedding (or a funeral for that matter, unless you are particularly close to the family).
What? Dammit, what the hell is the point of a black suit? Geez.
I admit that I don't know what would work with your skin tone, as opposed to my husband, who is almost as pale as I am.
Maybe the Men's Wearhouse guy will know.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Maybe the Men's Wearhouse guy will know.
Yep. I'd go and spend some time trying things on. This may be antithetical to how men usually buy clothes.

Well, I always learned that you should wear conservative clothes in somber colors, but that black was reserved for those close to the deceased.
Of course, I've never really thought about it since I've never gone to a funeral and don't ever intend to.

Because books.
I think a light enough taupe or olive would look really good on you, P-C.

Clearly, I need to do P-C's colors.

The only non-family funeral I've been to had most everyone in black. Lots and lots of people.
My family tends to bright colours.

I like dark gray suits. I loathe taupe, but it's probably just me.
We have snowpocalypse. We got what looks like close to two inches in less than two hours, and it's snowing away.
