That's a gorgeous dress but I thought she was the bride.

The first thought that came to my mind was that this guest looked like they might be from a different culture (happy to be corrected).

If this was the case, at weddings in the ME and India, you're supposed to dress super fancy, as there is no possible way to upstage the bride. 

This looks like literally the perfect dress for a wedding guest in that culture. Train and all. 

However, if that's not the case, and a.) they aren't from that culture, b.) they are from that culture and knew it was different here but just didn't care, then yes, absolute AH behavior. 

It's slightly possible they kind of knew it wasn't the thing here, but they didn't think it would be that big of a deal. I'm skeptical.

Their response, though. A decent person with genuine intentions would apologize and be mortified. So doubling down is suspect.

ETA: Sounds like I'm wrong. Standing corrected!

My sister said based from Facebook comments, the guest here is the aunt to the bride. And generally, in this very specific culture wedding, it's frowned upon to have a dress code and RSVP. And the usual unspoken dress code is to just wear something nice (no Black Tie unless it's requested). And judging by the video on Facebook, the rest of the guests just wore formal colored dresses (nothing fancy like this specific guest).

This feels like it’s somewhere in SEA. And I know exactly what kind of person this aunt is. 😂

I thought the same, but then the bride really doesn’t match up that idea. I’m really perplexed by the bride tbh.

NGL, as soon as I wrote my comment, I started wondering about the bride’s outfit choice as well. 🧐

It’s more like a prom dress with the belt and the flower in her wrist. And the seam at the bottom is kinda wonky? I don’t even know

It kind of reminds me of a slip or undergarment you would wear under the real dress so people don’t see your bra and underwear showing through the outer white fabric of the real dress portion.
