Dressed like a Bride It happened… his sister wore white.

Just need to vent….

Got married a couple of weeks ago and can’t stop thinking about it. I thought his sister and I got along well, no issues.

For our engagement party, she was the only attendee in cream and white besides me, the bride, in a white dress. Gave her the benefit of the doubt - it’s just our engagement, she came from out of province, etc etc.

Then came the giant texts about how offended her and her husband were about having a child-free wedding and how their kids were more important than all my cousins kids, so there should be an exception.

Wedding day arrived, and it being such a whirlwind I honestly didn’t notice what she was wearing. Then multiple guests started quietly coming up to me, asking who the one in white was. I guess word got back to her because at the end of the night, she went to my now husband, holding a flower against her dress and said “for the record”, implying it wasn’t white…. I suppose she is colourblind.

Not sure if we/he/I should be asking if there’s an issue or if we should address it at all.

Ugh.

If you have to defend how not white it is then its probably too close to being white

I think this is correct. I wore a white dress with big multi colored flowers all over it to a wedding years ago. It never crossed my mind that it was white. But when I was looking for a dress for a different wedding recently, my thought was, will it look white in any lighting or photos. If no, it's good, if yes, I'm sure there's something else

Oh yeah, my dress was fine. The mother of the groom 100% wore her actual (2nd) wedding dress, so even if mine was whiter than I'd pick now, no one was talking about me.

She had gotten remarried like 3 months before? She passed around photos of her wedding. i was gobsmacked. I stayed in that relationship so much longer than I should have because it was like non stop entertaining crazy shit all the time. I'll dig out the photo and post it one of these days
