A woman has won the support of the internet after being attacked by a bride for attending her wedding wearing a “trashy” dress.
Although the general public appears happy to end some wedding customs, one that has endured over time is this. In a 2021 YouGov America surveys of 700 U. S. people, only 24 percent of respondents were in favor of dropping the history, while a spectacular 50 percent backed it to remain as it is.
No one else attending the wedding should also be wearing bright, despite the unwritten law that it is forbidden to do so. The bride, however, believes that the wedding guest who posted to under the control was guilty of anything slightly different.
According to Redditor, she is a close friend of the man, Dan, but has never gotten on with his innovative family, Lauren. Although Dan and I have been best friends since high school, his then wife Lauren has generally disliked me because we have always been platonic and have no romantic interests on either side,” she wrote in a letter.
Despite the Redditor being “happily married”, Lauren has always been “suspicious” of why u/Vivid_Promise8476 would want to hang out with her fiancé. During the wedding planning phase, things started to get off to a bad stop.
The girl wrote, “Actually I was going to be in the couple’s celebration, but Lauren ended up crying because she felt no place to change genders at a wedding.” Dan fought with her about this, but I told him to just show up as a visitor and not to chose to climb this valley.
Fast- forward to the bride and with a dress code that was “warm voice garden group” the lady decided to wear a “bronze/orange dress” she felt fit “perfectly” with the style of the event. However, a furious Lauren confronted OP during the welcome while the meeting proceeded smoothly.
According to the blog, the wife told her: “I don’t think you would use gold to my wedding, you’re not the first prize you’re only f**king trashy. The wife screamed “at her leaving immediately,” and the situation became even worse by Lauren’s comments.”
Dan has reached out to her to tell her that he was upset that she left but quickly while the bride’s family claimed she was terrible for dressing in a gold dress that was worse than wearing a white dress. She is now questioning her choice, but many website users wondered if the bride was the one who was being obnoxious.
Diane Gottsman, an politeness expert and founder of The Protocol School of Texas, sees both sides. She told Newsweek: “Weddings are colorful, and if the marriage was dark tie, or even cocktail, a beautiful, bright color hue perhaps be correct. Factors to consider are the character of the bride and groom, the place, the indulgence of the ceremony, and the dress attire noted on the invitation.”
Gottsman questioned whether the guest’s animosity toward one another spelled she was destined to fail whatever she wore. “She could have worn a sack, and there would’ve still potentially been an issue,” she said. “Underdressed, overdressed… the fact that she was even a guest at all may be more of the issue than the gold dress.”
Reddit Supports The Wedding Guest
Ultimately, though, she could also see why the bride might not have been happy. “Good taste and judgment prevails, and if the dress clearly upstages the bride, based on a multitude of factors, it’s best to choose to be tasteful rather than a showstopper,” Gottsman said. “At the end of the day… it is all about the bride.”
Although Gottsman was able to see both sides, Reddit users firmly supported the guest. I don’t think it would have mattered what color your dress was, “one said, echoing Gottsman’s earlier comment”. The ( now ) wife would find something to yell at you for whatever you wore because she detests you. If it wasn’t the dress color, it would have been something else.”
A second commented: “That dress is NOWHERE close to gold, and even if it was gold it DOES NOT MATTER. The only proper etiquette is to wear nothing but white or ivory. It’s not” a thing “by any stretch of the imagination. You were not in the wrong.”
A third, meanwhile, added: “Their marriage won’t last with such insecurities like that not being addressed. You’ve done absolutely nothing wrong. Unfortunately, it seems that everyone allows the most marginalized members of society.”
