It's a style from the Middle Ages in Eastern Europe, a style that specific Rabbis who are held in much veneration, had, so their followers today keep up the tradition

The normal custom is that hats are only worn outdoors, and since weddings are normally held indoors, people will not be wearing hats.

Sikhs always wear their turbans. Christians, however, have no religious obligation to wear hats.

What did the Jews have to wear at all time?

For a clear and simple answer you are going to have to provide more information about what time and place you are asking about. In places under the control of the NAZI regime, from about 1934 until the end of WWII in Europe, Jews had to wear a yellow star. In other places, at other times, other bigoted and racist regimes required Jews to wear other distinguishing clothing, such as (in Western Europe in the Middle Ages) distinctive styles of hats. Jewish religious laws are interpreted by some Jews to require that Jews wear hats or at least yarmulkes, and sometimes phylacteries, and sometimes prayer-shawls.


What is the fur hat called that Jews wear?

Shtreimels or Boyar Hats.The Shtreimel or Boyar Hat that many Ultra-Religious Western European Orthodox Jews wear is a result of their ancestors having lived in Russia and Poland, it is not a "Jewish" custom. These Jews wear such hats in recognition that wearing such hats is indicative of higher status and more formal dress (the same way that a number of Western European Jews wear Top Hats). However, many Russians and Poles no longer wear the Boyar Hat since it is out of fashion (in much the same way that few Western Europeas wear Top Hats anymore).

Why do Orthodox Jews wear felt hats?

Orthodox Jews cover their heads as a reminder that God is above. This can be done with a kippah or yarmulka (cap). Wearing a hat is a sign of dignity, just as you wouldn't be surprised to see a senator wearing a hat.Why some Orthodox Jews wear a big hat, is perhaps based upon the European region they originated from (Poland, Galicia, etc.), and/or to be recognizable as belonging to a particular subgroup within the various Hassidic customs.
