She Was A Bridesmaid In Her Sister’s Wedding But After Her Sister Tried To Force Her To Change Her Appearance For Fear Of Taking Attention Away, She Quit
It always amazes me that some brides will ask certain people to be involved in their bridal party, then turn around and demand they start making changes to their appearance before the big day.
One young woman found herself in this exact situation after she got asked by her sister, the bride-to-be, to be a bridesmaid.
She said yes, and her sister selected bridesmaid dresses that are pink and light orange. She’s not crazy about the color, but she paid $150 for the dress and is going along with that for her sister even though she thinks that enough is a sacrifice because she will never wear this dress again.
“I have some visible hand and arm tattoos, I have a back tattoo (which will be visible because the dress is backless) and my hair is brown with some pink highlights,” she explained.
“My sister demands that I dye my hair brown and get rid of the pink highlights.”
“She also demands I cover my tattoos with body makeup because she wouldn’t like having me with pink hair and tattoos in the wedding pictures and that bridesmaids are supposed to look classy and if I have pink hair and tattoos visible people will focus more on my “crazy style” than the bride and the groom.”
She refused to change her appearance like her sister demanded, and her sister couldn’t believe she was saying no.
Her sister insisted she could just dye her hair back after the wedding, and couldn’t understand why she wasn’t willing to give in to her demands.
She reminded her sister that she knew about her tattoos, and she knew about her hair color prior to asking her to be part of the wedding.

She loves herself and how she looks, so she found it incredibly insulting that her sister wanted her to change certain things for a “picture-perfect wedding.”
Her sister fully expects her to be a completely different person for the wedding day, and she’s not ok with that at all.
She’s had tattoos and colorful hair for years, so her sister can’t even claim to be surprised because this isn’t a sudden change.
In the end, her sister made it clear that if she would not change her hair color and cover up her tattoos, she was going to be kicked out of the bridal party.
“Your wedding is not that important to me to lead me to a point of changing myself,” she said to her sister.
“You either accept me like this or you don’t. Don’t expect me to change because you’re scared of not having a classy wedding because of me.”
She is fine with standing up for herself if that means she’s no longer being included in the wedding, but her brother, mom, and dad think she’s being a jerk for not giving in to her sister.
How would you feel in this situation?
