So, I got roped into wearing a tux for the B-I-L's wedding Saturday. The forecast is calling for 102* and sunny. For an outdoor wedding. Don't they realize some of us don't live there and that I might just die?

But it's a DRY heat....
Wear your Cool Suit underneath and carry the reservoir and a battery in a stylish formal backpack.

Not the way I'll be sweating!
In case you care, etiquette states that you shouldn't remove your tux-jacket until and only if the groom removes his.
Best of luck.

My last wedding was an outdoor affair in August a few years ago. Thankfully only the groom had a jacket, the rest of us just had vests, and those were gray or silver rather than black.
Hydrate and ditch the jacket asap.
Problem solved?
In reply to John Welsh :
he's a bit of a dick so he'll leave the berkeleyer on all night. I won't.
Toyman had a thread on diy cooling...
Unless you're the best man, show up early, drink hard, and fall asleep before the heat gets up there.
Be the embarrassing BIL, every wedding needs one.
Wedding doesn't start until 4pm and its a cash bar.
Sleeves optional?
You know those first-aid cool packs? Get some and carry one in each front pocket. That is close to your femoral artery and would be a good place to get some overall cooling. Remember, the goal is to keep your overall core temp down.
Humans need better radiators but since we don't you need to ice down your cooling system. Good luck!

When I buy work pants I make sure that a small hard plastic cooler ice pack fits in each front pocket.
Ugh, I had one right around this time last year, also outdoors and right around 95 with on and off showers all day so humidity was off the charts. Hydrate well beforehand, then hit the booze hard

That's my job. I'm pretty sure if my B.I.L. ever gets married I won't be invited.
Walmart has these. You'll be the coolest guy there!

Ever stood up for an Orthodox Greek wedding in July? In an un-airconditoned church?
Then you haven't seen E36 M3. 
This is a jewish/Christian wedding. This should be interesting.
Cash bar means stash a cooler in the shrubbery filled with your poison of choice

So, half the attendees are celebratory, and half are stoic??
In reply to SVreX:
Which half?

This is when you pretend your going to a concert and slam a half pint in the parking lot before going in.

I didn't know the Orthodox Greeks were known for their heat output.
