Everyone Is Accusing Her Of Upstaging The Bride At A Wedding When All She Tried To Do Was Look Nice
A woman recently went to her cousin’s wedding, and now she’s being accused of upstaging the bride when all she tried to do was look nice.
She started out by saying that she never met her cousin prior to being invited to her wedding.
She knew the wedding was going to be on the smaller side, and it was very important to her to try to make the best first impression that she could.
She also mentioned that she was bullied when she was younger, so she makes it a point to always look her best, even if she’s just making a coffee run.
Anyway, she wasted no time trying to figure out what to wear to her cousin’s wedding.
The invite she received from her cousin indicated that it was going to be cocktail attire, and she finally settled on a tea-length style dress (which hits around the calves).
Now, the dress she picked out was something she had previously worn to weddings she had attended. She didn’t go out and buy something new, she used what she had in her closet.
She paired her dress with a chiffon shawl of the same color, along with genuine pearl earrings and a necklace.
She booked a hair appointment a week prior to the wedding so her hair would like good. The day finally arrived, and she did her makeup nicely before heading over to the wedding.

When she got there, she was pretty surprised to see that she seemed to be the only guest that put any effort into their appearance.
There were around 30 guests at the wedding, and basically, everyone had on shorts, polos, or t-shirts.
She was literally one of the only people there that had on a dress; only one other guest had dressed up in one.
To be fair, the invite said cocktail attire, and she was one of the only guests to abide by that. Polos and shorts aren’t cocktail attire, that’s casual attire.
“The bridesmaid wore something that looked like it was out of Hot Topic,” she explained. “The groom wore a tuxedo shirt and black jeans.”
As for the bride, well, she had a custom-made gothic-style wedding dress. It wasn’t white; it was a patchwork of colors including black, purple, and red.
“Her hair was not brushed, and she did black makeup so heavily that you could barely see her face. I was shocked,” she continued.
The worst part of the evening was that she had multiple people approaching her at the reception to accuse her of upstaging her cousin.
She never wanted to upstage anyone, she just wanted to look put together. To top it all off, the bride wouldn’t engage with her at all, though she did her best to get to know her cousin.
As soon as the wedding was over and she was on her way back home, she got tons of calls from her cousin’s husband and her cousin’s mother.
They berated her for being a terrible person for what she wore. They said she dressed “like Grace Kelly” and purposely did what she could to “make the bride feel ugly at her own wedding.”
