One bride’s special day took a turn for the worse when she ended up in an argument over a guest’s dress
No bride wants to feel upstaged on her wedding day. Yet, that’s exactly how one newlywed felt after seeing her cousin’s wedding day outfit. According to the wedding guest, the bride confronted her and they ended up in a ‘screaming match’.
Despite this, people are siding with the cousin after seeing the dress she wore to the occasion, which she revealed when she shared what happened in a Reddit post. Taking to social media, the cousin claimed: “I wore a sky blue cocktail dress to the wedding because it was a beach wedding so I thought it would be nice to wear that, but my cousin got mad.
“She accused me of trying to one up her in her own wedding and trying to steal the attention. My aunt told her to calm down and said that it’s just a dress and it’s not like I’m wearing a white dress to the wedding. I’m not even wearing a necklace, earrings and heels either since my cousin would think I’m trying to one up her.”
Unfortunately, the family could not resolve the conflict. “It became a screaming match and my aunty, uncle and my cousin’s partner had to pull her away because she wouldn’t stop yelling at me. I went home to avoid drama.”
She added: “My parents and siblings asked why I wasn’t there and I told them what happened. They were mostly on my side but they didn’t want to get involved and I can’t blame them.”
However, she did want to know if anyone else thought she was in the wrong for wearing a ‘sky blue dress’ and took to Imgur to share a photo of the midi dress, which had an A-line silhouette and thin shoulder straps. Reacting to the post, commenters struggled to see the issue, as many thought the dress looked nothing like a wedding gown.
Someone replied: “I can’t imagine what other dress would be more perfect or appropriate to wear. Like it’s a very decent semi-modest dress with the longer length, cute, blue like the ocean.”
Another response said: “That dress is literally a basic beach wedding guest dress. If that was enough to set her off, she was looking for a reason to be mad. You didn’t wear white, didn’t overdress, didn’t show up in heels and diamonds.
A different commenter agreed: “If that’s the dress, I can’t see a single thing wrong with it. It’s so obviously not white and it probably was not even part of the bridal party’s colors.
“I see no harm. It was perfectly appropriate for a beach wedding,” while a reader added: “The bride was worried that a pale blue dress would photograph as white. It happens.
“Still, she was out of line. No one would confuse you with the bride on the actual day. If the dress does appear white in photos, she can just edit you out. Problem solved.”
