the problem in the original post is that it's a wedding, so most options
for keeping cool are precluded.  you can't remove (much) clothing, and
you've got to look more or less respectable.  a mesh hat which lets air
through will be cooler than a solid one, at least.

the best way to remain cool in the heat is to wear a bandana on your
head, and keep soaking it with water to get evaporative cooling.

i do this when i play ultimate, and on habitat trips.  it's a lifesaver,
though it does tend to make you look like a pirate:
