People have been dressing in special costumes for celebrations since clothes were invented. Wearing special clothes for special occasions are part of what makes them special.

Also, wearing a suit and passing around a joint are not mutually exclusive:-)

If they are special by virtue of being worn only at special occasions, then suits aren't special at all because a large segment of the population wears them daily.

So the question remains: why wear suits at a wedding?

Those are tuxes, usually tails. Those are worn to concerts or some dinner events, but very rarely worn.
