Answer

Yes, that's totally okay! We understand the changing two outfits in one day may not be feasible for some people, and the attire request is mostly for the change from colorful/gold traditional to formal black and white for Rebecca and Anik. The attire change is also for those who wish to wear traditional wedding attire for the Hindu ceremony, and then more formal/cocktail style for the Jewish wedding. Cocktail or formal is perfect for both ceremonies.
