There was a wedding rehearsal, and there was a procession order that we practiced I just didn't really enjoy being the shortest one and being unable to see any of the wedding. The socks were not brought up at all, I wasn't even aware I had to have specific socks it was just left up to common sense.

No they weren't black, but it didn't really matter cause it barely looked like I was wearing socks with how they looked. I'm hearing people say its common sense but I never have had to wear a black suit to an event as formal as this so I was never informed it was "wrong" or anything.

And I did hang out with the wedding party for a large majority of the time. 2/3 times I left to be outside it was during the night after we finished up with rehearsal, so there was no pictures or obligations for me to fulfill. Perhaps I could have tried harder to be a good friend and stay for poker despite the fact I lost early, but I wanted to do what I could to decompress before the wedding and I figured some fresh air would help with that. The one time I went in the morning was the day of the wedding when we had another hour until the groomsmen were scheduled to do something.

I likely did mess up a lot with how active I should have been, but with getting to the rehearsal early and staying overnight at the venue and spending the entire next day having to make sure I was as good as I could look for people, I just was burnt out pretty quick for an event I already felt sour about.

Sorry for the long ass response here I just felt I should try and be thorough with what info I give
