A woman has a 34-year-old brother who got married one weekend ago, and her brother married a girl that she had gone to high school with.

Her brother’s new wife isn’t someone she liked growing up, since her brother’s wife was really mean back then.

Fast forward to several years ago, she was really not happy when she found out that this girl was dating her brother, and she’s even less thrilled that they’re now married.

She does live several hours apart from her brother, so she never had to spend a lot of time with him and his wife.

Anyway, when her brother got engaged, she pretty much knew she would not be invited to be part of his wedding, and she was correct.

Her brother’s wife asked all of her high school friends to be bridesmaids, but that didn’t bother her at all because she really didn’t want to participate at all.

She actually breathed a sigh of relief knowing she didn’t have to hold a role in her brother’s wedding.

In the weeks leading up to her brother’s wedding, she was pretty in the dark in regards to any information related to it.

She doesn’t live close by at all, and she could not attend the bridal shower, so she decided to ask her brother for more information on everything.

Unfortunately, her brother didn’t really know what was going on since he wasn’t the one planning things.

“All I really knew was the date and the venue,” she explained. “Very upscale place. The invite said black tie, so I chose a long, one-shoulder silk dress in navy. It wasn’t overly fancy but seemed appropriate for the venue.”

The day of her brother’s wedding arrived, and she drove 3 hours to get there. She made sure to get to the wedding venue several hours prior to the wedding itself, so that she could spend time with her family.

As she was speaking to her mom that morning, the bride came over to speak to her mom in private.

Well, right after that, the bride’s best friend from high school stormed out of the bride’s dressing room and walked right up to her.

The bride’s best friend said that she had to change her dress since the bride was unhappy she showed up in navy, which matched the bridesmaids.

The only thing remotely similar to her dress and the bridesmaid dresses were the colors, but not the styles.

She let the bride’s best friend know that she gets this is the bride’s special day, but she had nothing to change into and she lives 3 hours away.

It’s not like she could just pop home really fast to get a new dress in time for the wedding. The bride’s best friend called her “pathetic” and “selfish” before insisting she was attempting to appear like she was a bridesmaid.

“I told her no one would be confused, it wasn’t a rule that people couldn’t wear the same color as bridesmaids and I wasn’t changing,” she said. “She left in a huff.”

“Minutes later, my brother found me and asked me to change. I told him the same thing I told the friend.”

“He said I should do what the bride asked because it’s her day and I’m causing her stress. All the bridesmaids came out and basically ridiculed me, saying I was pathetic and a loser for pretending to be in the wedding party.”

“I got upset and ended up leaving. No one stopped me.”

The day after her brother’s wedding, her mom phoned her up to say that she wished she had changed her dress.

Her mom also said that she had made a scene, but she doesn’t think she did at all. Right now, she’s not even speaking to her brother over all of this.

Do you think she should have changed her dress?
