She happens to work in the same industry that he does, and they’re currently friends.
“So when he sent me an invitation to his wedding, I accepted since I didn’t think it would be super awkward, and they were planning a pretty big wedding,” she explained.
The Invitation Said She Had To Stick To White Tie Attire

“The location was fairly casual (think arboretum/garden), but my invitation said white tie only. I reached out to my ex to confirm the dress code, but his fiancée (28F) messaged me from their joint Facebook instead.”
The Bride Said She Was Excited To Meet Her

“She was very friendly and confirmed that they were expecting white tie only and even said she was so excited to finally meet me.”
The Bride Asked Her To Wear Pastel Colors

Her ex’s fiancée then asked her to come to the wedding in something pastel, as she was going to be wearing a “vibrant pink” wedding dress.
The Bride Thought If Guests Dressed That Way, She Would Shine In Her Pink Dress

Her ex’s fiancée thought that if everyone was in pastel, she would stand out more in all of the photos.
She Didn’t Have Anything To Wear And Went Shopping

She looked up what a white tie dress code was, and since she had nothing in her closet that fit that, she went shopping.
She Bought A Blue Ballgown

She bought a baby blue-colored, floor-length, sort of poofy ballgown. She then decided to skip out on any accessories, except for tiny hoop-shaped earrings, as she thought it would be too much.
She knew that her outfit was pretty underwhelming for a white tie dress code, but she thought it would be formal enough and acceptable.
She Was Shocked Nobody At The Wedding Was Dressed Up

The day of her ex’s wedding arrived, and when she showed up, she was shocked to see that none of the other guests were wearing anything in line with a white tie dress code.
She Was The Most Dressed Up, Which Was Strange

“Only the bride was in a floor-length dress, and we had a similar silhouette on our dresses as well since she had gone with a relatively form-fitting one,” she said.
The Bride’s Dress Was Blush, Not Pink

“Her dress was also a very, very light blush pink, not a “vibrant pink” at all. I assumed I must’ve completely misread the invitation and was about to leave…(and send a nice gift later since they already paid for my seat and all), but the bride noticed me leaving and insisted I stay.”
Other Guests Threw Her Dirty Looks And Said Things To Her, Too

After she sat back down, other wedding guests threw her dirty looks for the rest of the evening, and some were bold enough to demean her in person.
Later On, Some Friends Yelled At Her Via Text
She and her ex did have friends at the wedding who turned around and yelled at her over text messages after the fact.
She Showed Them The Messages She Exchanged With The Bride

Trying to stand up for herself, she screenshotted the messages she had between her and the bride where the bride asked for her to wear pastel, and she sent it to her friends.
Her Friends Accused Her Of Faking The Messages And Cut Her Out Of Their Lives

“When I tried to reach out to the bride and groom to apologize to them for what I had worn to the wedding (even though it was white tie on my invitation, I still felt like I should’ve known a garden wedding wasn’t going to be so formal) and the bride got nasty with me and told me if I contacted her again I was blocked,” she continued.
The Bride Came At Her On Social Media For Being Jealous
“She also tagged me in a Facebook post about “jealous people” which prompted even more backlash towards me.”
Nobody Was On Her Side
Nobody sided with her except her own best friend and her ex’s best friend. Her ex’s best friend insisted that her ex’s now-wife attempted to pull the same stunt on his girlfriend.
Do You Think The Bride Intentionally Told Her To Wear The Wrong Thing In Order To Embarrass Her?

Her ex’s best friend isn’t publicly siding with her, though, since he’s afraid her ex will stop being friends with him.
