Someone wore white to my wedding lol

It didn't phase me that night honestly, but like DAMN. My friends apparently wanted to kick her out but didn't want to bother me with anything else that could be stressful (I love my friends so much). I found it pretty funny when I found out, and everyone who saw her was judging HARD, so it was whatever. She would be the person to do that though. Everyone said it haha. I just wanted to share the audacity. In the picture, I'm on the left and she is on the right. I'm honestly pretty sure the dress is supposed to be a very light blue?? Still insane to me haha. It's also floral like a wedding dress. My old boss said we looked like a lesbian couple getting married in that picture and we totally do.

Side note: you may be thinking, "wow that's crazy, but she must have somehow not known." Well, it was in the dress code, which I will also show below :)

Edit: i wish I could add a better picture of my dress because it was so gorgeous and soooo many people have seen this post now. There's a comment buried somewhere that has it haha

I read a story on the subreddit about a woman who MIL wore white to the wedding and strutted her stuff all night. She even told people at the hotel she was the bride.

I was at a wedding this weekend where the brides mother wore white with gold embellishments. We all knew the wedding was to make her happy. That just sealed it.

my mother told me I should have a wedding ceremony because she deserved it "I deserve to see my only daughter get married" then when I asked her if she was gonna contribute to said wedding she said that's the grooms family job.

Traditionally it has always been the bride’s family that pays for the wedding. It used to be a party that the bride’s parents would give to show off their daughter and her new husband to their (the parents)family and friends. Over the years it has become much more about the bride! Probably because now the couple often pays.

Yeah except when you're child of immigrant parents they use whichever culture/country is more convenient for them. Took all my red envelope money as a kid because Chinese filial piety, pointed out Chinese Supreme Court ruled red envelope belonged solely to kids, then got hit with the "you're a minor in America, its our money". It's traditional for Chinese parents to buy houses for their adult kids, My mom said lol no we're in America I'm not doing that.

This is so pathetic

[u/godfromabove256 → u/PoopDirectlyInMyButt]

Incredibly pathetic woman. She probably has a questionable Reddit username, too...

[u/PoopDirectlyInMyButt → u/godfromabove256]

Shade wtf!?

[u/tewkberry → u/PoopDirectlyInMyButt]

Someone else must have the questionable username. Here, I just see accuracy.

My favourite wore-white-to-a-wedding stories:

1) Mother wore a bridal gown to the wedding and was fashionably late, but the wedding planner was lying in wait and took her down, secret agent style, before she hit the ceremony. She was arrested in the parking lot for trespassing and outstanding warrants.

2) Mother wore white to the wedding and was permitted to do so, because it was a... I want to say an Indian wedding, but it could have been Desi. Either way, everyone else was dressed to the nines in bright colours and oodles of accessories and she stuck out like a sore thumb. One comment that stuck with me - the OP mentioned her SIL had corner the mother at one point, and was having a conversation with her, and OP noted her SIL was smiling. My first thought was "Shark."

My MIL wore white to ours... but she didn't go as far as to say she was the bride! Yikes.

[u/Magelatin → u/Rupertcandance2]

Do you feel like there was something behind the decision to wear white? Is she generally respectful of boundaries?

[u/ButteredPizza69420 → u/Dangerous-Arrival737]
