institution such as marriage, religion, or education in certain societies The sociologist
must pay close attention to food, clothing, and rituals because of the customs associated with them For example, for a formal wedding in the United States, a bride usually wears
a long, white wedding gown and her attendants also wear formal gowns or dresses The groom and his attendants must wear tuxedos Since the father of the bride has to walk his daughter down the aisle, he also wears a tuxedo In keeping with the formality, the
mothers of the bride and groom as well as the guests wear either formal or semi-formal
outfits Sociologists study not only the types of clothing but also the colors and materials Different cultures give importance to different aspects Therefore, a sociologist has to be
a keen observer
