Those who do not wear wedding clothes are eventually thrown outside. They are those who are invited but not chosen. Wearing wedding clothes is required to participate in the heavenly wedding banquet. It is written, “For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.”<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Galatians+3%3A27&version=NIV |title=Galatians 3:27 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref> Wearing wedding clothes means living a life following the examples of Christ by receiving [[baptism]], which is God’s covenant. When we keep [[Commandments of God|God’s commandments]], following the examples of Christ, and are born again by doing the righteous deeds, we can become chosen as God’s children and enter the [[Heaven|kingdom of heaven]]. Moreover, we can glorify [[Heavenly Mother]] who is the Bride.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+49%3A18+&version=NIV |title=Isaiah 49:18 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+19%3A8&version=NIV |title=Revelation 19:8 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref>

There is another parable which uses a wedding banquet. It is the parable of the ten virgins.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+25%3A1-2&version=NIV |title=Matthew 25:1–2 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref> Jesus said the kingdom of heaven would be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and the people all became drowsy and fell asleep. However, at midnight, the cry rang out to meet the bridegroom. The five virgins, who had prepared enough oil, received the bridegroom and went to the wedding banquet, but the five virgins who ran out of oil were not able to enter the wedding banquet.
