What happens if someone tries to enter the wedding feast without proper attire?

Answered in 1 source

Entering the wedding feast without proper wedding attire signifies rejecting God's righteousness, which results in exclusion from His presence.

In the parable, when the king encounters a guest without wedding garments, he questions him and ultimately expels him from the feast, illustrating the serious nature of coming into God's presence unprepared (Matthew 22:11-13). The wedding garments symbolize the perfect righteousness of Christ that believers must don to be accepted by God. This moment emphasizes that relying on one's own self-righteousness and failing to acknowledge the need for Christ's righteousness is unacceptable. The consequence is grave: exclusion from the joys of salvation and sorrowful punishment in the outer darkness, symbolizing eternal separation from God (Matthew 22:13).
