His Girlfriend Tried To Wear A White Dress To A Wedding They Were Going To, So He Left Her Home And Went By Himself
A man in his early 30s has a girlfriend who is in her late 20s, and they have been together for 1 year.
Recently, he was asked to attend a wedding for one of his coworkers, and his girlfriend was invited along as his plus one.
His girlfriend was super excited to go with him to his coworker’s wedding, as she “apparently loves weddings.”
He and his girlfriend live in separate places, so he stopped by her place and offered to drive her over to the wedding.
“As she comes out she looks really beautiful and has obviously put in time to fix her hair and make-up,” he explained.
“She’s also wearing an off-white dress that was rather ornate. As she got in I told her that she looked stunning, but I asked if she could change to a different colored dress for the ceremony.”
“I’m not one for etiquette by far, but one of the few things I have heard everywhere is that you should not wear a white dress to a wedding unless you’re the bride.”
He let his girlfriend know that he didn’t think it was appropriate for her to show up to a wedding in a dress the color of the one she had on since it would be insulting to the bride.
He tried his very best to keep the conversation light, but his girlfriend just rolled her eyes at him in response and insisted it was just “an outdated tradition” to not wear white to someone else’s wedding.

“I told her that I don’t know what the dress code is for this ceremony, but since it’s not saying “all white clothes” I still thought she should change to another color but white or “almost-white” – because my colleague was getting married and we had no idea how she felt about it,” he said.
Well, his girlfriend got extremely angry at him and accused him of attempting to “control” her outfit choices while being “abusive”.
He was understandably hurt by how his girlfriend was trying to twist things around, and he made her get out of his car.
He then drove away and went to the wedding all alone without her. He arrived at the wedding, only to find he had a ton of missed calls and texts from his girlfriend.
He shut off his phone and when he saw what the other guests at the wedding had on, not a single person aside from the bride was wearing white.
He felt that he made the right choice by not allowing his girlfriend to wear white and potentially upset his coworker on her wedding day.
After he arrived back home and the wedding was finished, he turned his phone on to find that his girlfriend and his girlfriend’s best friend had bombarded him with messages.
Both of them called him terrible things and expected him to apologize to his girlfriend.
He has discussed this issue with his own friends, and many of them are on his girlfriend’s side, yet he believes he did what was best.
