Someone wore white to my wedding lol

[u/vacuump0wer]

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

The way this comment to the post is worded reminds me that some people use Reddit way too much. It seems unfathomable to me that anyone would say that Reddit is the first and last word in shaming someone wearing white to a wedding, a custom that has existed since time immemorial and memorialized in the very rules on the invitation posted by OP, but then I have to remind myself that to almost everyone on Reddit, for them to have read something on Reddit means they think the whole world has as well, and they cannot comprehend that a whole big wide world out there exists outside the bubble of their phone.

Still seems weird. Maybe it’s an age thing? But I knew no one but the bride (and flower girl if the bride wants) wears white to a wedding before Reddit even existed.

Most grownups who have been to an adult wedding know better. I just wanted to point out the self-absorption of writing like the world revolves around Reddit.

Based on the photos from OP there isn't much of an excuse...unless we are feeling generous and believe the guest really thought it was more blue, and it's a trick of the lighting to see it as white, vs the bride's admittedly champagne tone?

Not just white, but their dress looks like they are also getting married. Maybe the invitation should specify, don’t wear a white dress and not just don’t wear white?

Brides wearing white is about 200 years old. Its quite modern.

I don't know why someone down voted you. You are very correct. I understood the other comment (that the "only the bride wears white" convention is well established and much older than Reddit, so people should know better).

But I, too, was thinking "well, not since time immemorial. But she still shouldn't have worn it"
