Etiquette and what wear to a Greek wedding?

[mj_toronto8]

I am scheduled to go to a Greek wedding in a few months and I am trying to figure out the etiquette of what to wear. It is a Greek-Canadian wedding, fairly traditional in a Greek church with a reception after. Both the bride and groom are Greek-Canadian.

I need advice for wardrobe for men and women, as well as kids. The wedding is in the afternoon, the reception at night. The wedding is in early June. There are no instructions on the invitation on how to dress.

How Greek is the family? Are they from Greece and have they been in Canada long, or have they been in Canada for a while?

If they recently moved to Canada then you can probably wear anything you want (business casual to play it safe), but if they've been in the Canada for a while then wear what you'd wear at other Canadian weddings (something formal)

The reason I'm asking is because in Greece you wear whatever you want to a wedding... you'll see people show up in jeans and a t-shirt and others will be in a suit without a tie.

They are recently from Canada. So, it sounds like I can wear whatever I want - something nice but also comfortable. I didn't realize weddings were kind of casual in Greece!
