While Talking About Her Wedding, She Accidentally Shaded Her Sister-In-Law’s Wedding Rules
This woman is getting married in just three months, and, like a lot of brides, her only “rules” have to do with the dress code.
She has sent out wedding invites with the rules on them, as well as follow-up emails that outline her wedding expectations in detail.
“I have only requested that people avoid wearing white, for obvious reasons, and emerald green– the bridesmaids’ dress color,” she said.
“I also asked people to RSVP until a certain date, or else I won’t include them in the reception dinner since the price per person is very expensive.”
Aside from that, though, her wedding is pretty rule-free. Kids are allowed, and she claims that she could not care less what guests choose to wear– as long as the colors do not include white or emerald green.
While the other guests have been very understanding of this, though, her sister-in-law has actually been the one to give her some pushback.
She and her sister-in-law have an “okay” relationship. She does not necessarily consider them friends, but they get along fine and definitely do not hate each other.
During her fiancé’s birthday celebration, though, a conversation with some friends took a weird turn after her sister-in-law got involved.
It all began when her friends basically started praising her for being so chill with wedding rules. Her friends noted how refreshing it was to look forward to a wedding where they would not feel like they were walking on eggshells.

And she totally agreed with them and took that opportunity to share her thought process behind the rules.
“I said that was just not me at all, and I just want my guests to have fun as well. So, I don’t want to put many limitations,” she recalled.
Then, one of her fiancé’s friends decided to show her the dress they planned on wearing and ask if it would be appropriate or if the dress would overshadow her.
She noted how the dress, which was yellow, was definitely on the more revealing side. However, she claims that she loved the style and told her friend to go for it.
“I also told her that I’m the bride. So, it’s not easy to overshadow the bride and, if someone does, well, sucks for me, but it’s really not that deep,” she explained.
She never thought that sharing her own mindset would offend her sister-in-law. But, apparently, that final comment seriously pushed her sister-in-law over the edge– because she actually got accused of being a pretentious jerk.
Apparently, the reason that her sister-in-law took such offense to the comments was that she actually had various rules for her wedding. For example, her sister-in-law gave out a very strict dress code, refused to let children attend, and more.
Regardless, though, she never intended to make a backhanded comment about her sister-in-law’s wedding.
But, her sister-in-law obviously took it that way– because she was called a snake and accused of trying to subtly throw shade.
Then, her sister-in-law said that if she had a problem, she could say it to her sister-in-law’s face. And before she knew it, both her sister-in-law and husband had left the party.
Anyway, after the whole ordeal, she confided in her mother-in-law and fiancé. On the one hand, her mother-in-law does believe that her sister-in-law overreacted, but that she still did not have to flaunt how “chill” and “different” she is as a bride.
Her fiancé, though, believes that her sister-in-law acted like a child and needs to just grow up and get over it.
So now, she has been left in a pretty weird situation. She is unsure if her sister-in-law took her comments way too personally or if she was just inadvertently a total jerk.
Do you think her comments sounded like they were meant to throw shade at her sister-in-law? Is her sister-in-law perhaps projecting their own insecurities, or did they have a right to be upset? If you were in her shoes, how would you reconcile this situation?
