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.
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 person there, which was alarming and 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.
“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.”
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.
She and her ex did have friends at the wedding who turned around and yelled at her over text messages after the fact.
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 they cut her out of their lives over it.
“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.
