Mode Influencer Joe Laschet Marries in Style with Strict Dress Code
Joe Laschet, a fashion influencer and son of politician Armin Laschet, married his partner Andrea on Saturday in Aachen's Burtscheid district. The wedding was held in a church, followed by a reception adhering to a strict dress code. The event drew significant attention due to Laschet's public profile and unique style preferences.
The Ceremony and Attire
The wedding ceremony took place in a local church where Joe Laschet had previously received his First Communion and Confirmation. The groom wore a navy blue cutaway, complete with a pocket square and grey waistcoat, while the bride donned a deep-cut white dress with a matching bouquet. Following the ceremony, the newlyweds proudly displayed their wedding rings and shared a kiss before departing in a luxurious vintage convertible, cheered on by onlookers.
The curated attire of the guests was a notable aspect of the wedding. Laschet had specified a dress code, ensuring a sophisticated and unified aesthetic for the celebration.
The Strict Dress Code
Guests were given clear instructions regarding their attire. Men were encouraged to wear a cutaway, similar to the groom, which resembles a frock coat. At a minimum, a suit and tie were required. Sneakers were strictly forbidden. Laschet had told the press agency, "That's also on the invitation. It just wouldn't fit the picture." The evening's dinner and party required an even stricter dress code: "Strictly Black Tie," meaning tuxedos were mandatory.
"Das steht so auch auf der Einladung. Das würde einfach nicht ins Bild passen." - Joe Laschet
The Guest List and Reception
Approximately 160 guests were invited to the wedding. Laschet explained that the large number was due to his extensive family, including his father's three brothers and their many children, along with a large circle of friends. Notable guests included Aachen's "Printen King" Hermann Bühlbecker and fashion expert and TV presenter Jan-Henrik Scheper-Stuke ("Queer Eye Germany").
The Couple's Background and Engagement
Joe Laschet, son of former North Rhine-Westphalia Minister President (2017-2021) and CDU leader (2021-2022) Armin Laschet, has pursued a different career path than his father. He is a blogger and influencer specializing in classic menswear and has appeared in various TV formats. His wife, Andrea, is a lawyer. The couple has been together for nine years. Laschet proposed in Rome, near St. Peter's Basilica, stating, "It was simply a beautiful place." A civil ceremony had been planned separately.
