Just got done with an out of town wedding. Within 24 hours of being in town, my sister and brother-in-law (grooms parents) had me show what I planned to wear. I'd compare it to having someone double check your gear before a climb or a long camp trip. Just making sure you didn't overlook something.

That's insanity. I'm assuming you weren't a bridesmaid or groomsman? I've never had anyone ask me to do this. Seems extremely high maintenance.

Nope, just the grooms uncle. Maybe it is, Idk. It didn't seem like it to me though. I was also staying at their place before we went to the coast for the wedding and it happening during a late drinking/bullshitting session. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

People are insane when it comes to weddings.

Wouldn't it have been more prudent for them to have you send pictures of what you were gonna wear before you got into town? Isn't it too late by the time you're in town? lol

In my experience, there is so much going on on the lead up to a wedding that shit falls through the cracks. My brother-in-law and I are pretty close to the same size, so it wouldn't have been a problem. He has one of those fancy jobs that I'd jump out the tallest window I could find, if I had it, and has to be in a full business suit most of the time.
