A short sleeved dress shirt and tie should never be worn to anything except a low level clerking/retail job, by a tech/repairman, a construction foreman, or sometimes you can get away with it as an older unfashionable white-collar worker in a hot climate.
If you wear a short sleeved dress shirt and a tie to a formal event, you are Homer Simpson which is why he was given that combination as his work dress. It was as much joke in 1989 as much as it is a joke in 2014.
What year was your wedding?
To be fair, I have real ties but I love clip-ons. Police officers and military officers wear clip-ons so I don't feel any shame in wearing one. They are useful for some situations and are handy. I have several but they are all 20-30 years old I inherited them from my grandfather who bought them in the 80s. The funny thing is that those styles are now back in style.
