His 21-Year-Old Stepsister Showed Up To His Wedding Wearing A Sparkly White Dress And Upset His Wife, But He Didn’t Ask Her To Leave Right Away
A guy just got married to his wife, and his wife was super anxious about their wedding for as long as they had been planning it.
His wife really is into perfection, and she dreamed about her wedding day for her whole life, so she did want things a certain way.
Now, his mom lives in another country and did fly in to attend his wedding. His mom brought his 21-year-old stepsister with her too.
“My mom and I have an awkward relationship, and she was already a bit pissy that she had to come to the US for my wedding when I didn’t go to hers (I did not feel safe in that country),” he explained.
“I’ve never met her husband before or her stepdaughter. Everything was ok until the stepdaughter showed up at our wedding in sparkly white.”
“I immediately saw my wife’s face drop. I said maybe she didn’t know, as women in her country wear red. My wife said that was no excuse, as my mom would have known. I said I wasn’t sure if she would. She didn’t spend that long in the US, and she hated it. She hardly interacted with anyone when she did live here and moved the moment her divorce was final. I’m really not sure how much she picked up on American customs when she didn’t interact.”
When his wife noticed what his stepsister was wearing, she asked him to please ask his stepsister to leave their wedding.
He replied back to his wife that he was uncomfortable doing that, especially since his mom and stepsister came such a long way to attend their wedding, and they spent a lot of money to be there too.
Instead, he tried to reassure his wife that everyone would know she was the bride and the star of the evening and not his stepsister.

He then informed his wife that he was positive his mom and stepsister didn’t know wedding etiquette and that you shouldn’t wear white to a wedding.
The wedding continued, and he realized that his wife was not able to have a nice time at her wedding because of his stepsister’s outfit.
Then, his wife’s friends insisted on talking about his stepsister’s dress, so he eventually did do something about it.
“I finally asked mutual family to ask them to leave, but my wife feels it was too little too late and that I didn’t defend her,” he said.
“She says as women, there is no way they didn’t know, especially my mom, and that I chose to play dumb because I didn’t want the confrontation. Her friends were all backing her, and I feel awful over this and wish I just kicked them out the moment I saw them.”
He’s left wondering if it was wrong to try to give his mom and stepsister the benefit of the doubt at his wedding.
Do you think he should have kicked his stepsister out the moment she showed up in a white sparkly dress?
