Today, my parents lectured me for wanting to wear sneakers to a wedding. The wedding is on a farm. FML

Just to clarify, the dress code was business casual but since it was on a farm, I was trying to choose comfortable, practical shoes that would not get totally ruined and that still looked nice which proved to be a bit of a challenge. After lots of shopping around and trying on many pairs of shoes, I found a pair of flats and I ended up wearing those. It did rain pretty heavily later so I ended up getting permission to change into shoes that I wouldn't mind getting muddy. This had absolutely nothing to do with entitlement, I was just trying to be practical :)

Somehow I doubt the wedding will be in the pig-pen. I can see why you might not want to wear stilettoes but unless it's been really wet then most other shoes are going to be fine.

You know, with enough stilettos and creative seating arrangements, the owners of that farm could get some nice aerated soil or holes for seeding!

My sister was married on a farm. Everyone wore formal attire, including dress shoes, and there was no problem. Your parents are right. Respect the occasion unless you were given specific permission to do otherwise.

It's your wedding. You should be able to wear what makes you feel comfortable and happy.

There are lots of scenic farms chosen as wedding venues. Just the location doesn't mean anything. You should find out if there's particular attire requested - my best friend is getting married on a farm next week, and has chosen to allow "business casual" clothing.

Um... wear cowboy boots, duh. But seriously, people still have formal weddings farms. It being at a farm isn't an excuse to just wear sneakers. Check with the bride or groom about what sort of dress code they're expecting. If they say sneakers are fine, then go for it otherwise follow their wishes.
