His Wife’s Sister Had A Breakdown And Said He Ruined Her Wedding Photos Because He Wore A Dark Suit Instead of A Cream One
Four years ago, this man was still married to his now ex-wife, and her sister Alice was marrying Roger.
Prior to Alice and Roger’s engagement, he and Roger had a rough relationship. From the moment they met, they never got along.
“Roger was (is) a compulsive liar, mooch, and cheat. He had pretty much alienated Alice from most of her friends and family,” he said.
“He and I had a falling out after I called him out. In revenge, he told a lot of really horrible lies about me to the family and did his best to try and get me fired from my job.”
“We had to pay a lawyer to send him a cease-and-desist letter, and we went no-contact with both Roger and Alice.”
Several years later, his in-laws asked him to try to be around Roger and Alice at family gatherings again and remain civil.
Because he had a good relationship with his in-laws, he decided to try to do as they requested. From then on, he attended family gatherings but just ignored Roger and Alice.
Roger and Alice announced their engagement several months after he’d started to go to events with the family when they were in attendance.
For the wedding, his wife was the maid of honor, their daughter was the flower girl, and their son was the ring bearer. He, however, wasn’t asked to be part of the wedding party, but he was fine with that.

“I get word that Roger would like to ‘buy me a suit’ so I wouldn’t have to pack a suit of my own. I had plenty of suits, so this was a really odd request,” he shared.
“Whatever, fine, I’ll go along with it. The wedding was in a different state, so I wouldn’t be able to see the suit until we picked it up a day before the wedding.”
“This concerned me, along with his insistence that I wouldn’t have to bring a suit, so I packed my own suit as well–a nice charcoal grey one.”
He and his family drove to the town where the wedding would be held, and when he picked up the suit, he learned that Roger had only rented him a suit and hadn’t purchased one.
“Roger had actually rented the same cream-colored tuxedo as his side of the wedding party,” he explained.
“Basically, he was trying to dress me up like the other groomsmen despite not being part of the wedding party.”
“I saw why he didn’t want me to pack a suit and had a good laugh at it but said nothing and let him think he got one over on me.”
The next day, everyone was getting ready for the wedding, and the entire wedding party was wearing cream tuxedos and champagne-colored dresses. He, however, decided to wear the charcoal grey suit he’d brought with him.
Later, Roger saw him, and when he immediately realized he wasn’t wearing the cream tuxedo he had rented for him, he was visibly angry, but he didn’t say anything.
While taking photos, he was expected to participate because he was close family. Even when he didn’t have to be in a photo, his wife pulled him into the frame.
After the wedding, he saw the wedding photos, and he realized that he was in over half of them. And because he was wearing his charcoal grey suit and not the cream-colored tuxedo that all the groomsmen wore, he stood out the most in all the photos.
Apparently, Alice was incredibly angry and almost had a breakdown because she said he had “ruined” the photos.
Even though it was three months after the wedding, Alice wanted to have the wedding party re-take the photos “‘the right way,'” but it never happened.
Do you think he did the right thing in refusing to wear the cream-colored suit that Roger rented for him?
