My dad’s memorial Mass was supposed to be on Saturday, but we were told it is not safe to have 50 people indoors at the church that seats 600. He died in May. We’re not sure if we’ll be allowed to have it in September either. Maine has 420 active cases statewide rn.

There is no requirement, it's a tradition. Boys (typically) wear suits, nobody says they "look like grooms." We don't say babies who are being baptized look like brides, even though they're in white too. Dressing up nicely for a special day is a good thing, actually.
