Thanks for the insight! I am not prepared to risk my career for a wedding but, asking through my chain of command can't hurt, right? Do you think it'd be best to ask when I get there (to DINFOS) or wait 'til the date gets closer?

Also, I guess this is a practical/personal question but, let's say I do get approved/allowed to use leave days to attend the wedding. I've been warned against traveling in uniform (and I won't) but, I doubt I'll have time to stop at my folks' place & get a suit & tie. Since dress whites/blues would be the "classiest" thing I'd have, does anyone think that it'd be uncouth to bring it with me, change there & attend the ceremony/reception in that? I'd be worried about attracting too much attention at the wedding. I'm probably going too deep into the issue & am having more doubts that I'll even be able to go in the first place...

It's fine to attend weddings in your dress blues.

Blues are totally acceptable formal wear. I'm getting married in mine and all of the Sailors present will be as well.
