Pretty much title, I’ve got a formal wedding to go to in October and I’m not a formal person. Can I wear these docs without looking like a jerk

No, they won't look right with anything formal. They're fine for "office casual" or something, but if the host has asked for formal attire this isn't it.

If you like these, try for a more conventional tassel loafer. The problem is really the sole, and stitching.

These being Docs, that puts the price around $150 to $200. That's good news, you'll have a lot of options in the same price range. Start shopping early, especially if you have to do mail order. A wedding can be a long day, especially if you're dancing at the reception afterwards. It may take you a little while to find something that works for you.
