I don't know what to wear.
This is a serious question. I don't buy fancy clothes so I don't have much shit.
Black stuff, usually it doesn't matter as long as you don't wear t-shirts with brands on them and maybe something a little nicer then jeans
You don't have much JMV? Oh, and you should probably stick that in serious discussion so you don't get a ton of jokes.

How about black jeans?
I'm wearing a plain black t-shirt.

That sounds too casual to me...
Dress pants > dockers > nice jeans (dark) > nice jeans (light)
Dress shirt > golf shirt > blank t'shirt (white) > blank t'shirt (black) > blank t'shirt (other colors)
Dress shoes > solid color tennis shoes (black preferable)
That's standard funeral attire. An actual wake is less formal than a funeral but many people use the term "wake" incorrectly or it has different definitions based on nationality/culture.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the differences in culture. His parents are from Greece. They are Eastern-Orthodox.
Okay, I have some Black Jeans. I have a Black/Blue golf shirt. Luckily, I do have dress shoes.

You should be fine with that. I don't know the Greek culture well, but I don't think their wakes are very....lively, as opposed to say, Irish wakes. I do know that it is sometimes customary for family members to wear solid black for an entire month after the death of a loved one to show their mourning.
Alright. Tomorrow is the actual funeral. I'll have to find something to wear then. It's supposed to be around 80 degrees...
His brother is a strong kid. He was there the day after Zack died and was able to make people laugh with stories about Zack. He was in school on Monday.
I don't think I'd be able to do that.

I remember when a kid died in my town, he was a solider in Iraq
Everyone was telling jokes about how he used to fart in class, laughing makes things less sad caterpie;
Not exactly disrespectful in my opinion since it's remembering him
Who died? emo;
And similar that you'd wear to a funeral, only a little more casual.
A Greek Wake?
Maybe I can ask my mom when she comes home. psyduck;

My friend Zack. There is a thread about it in serious discussion.
He crashed last Wednesday night and was taken off life support on Friday.
