Have you ever been scolded for what you chose to wear to someone’s wedding?

One woman wore her wedding dress, which was not a big white ball gown but a dark blue dress, to her friend’s wedding, and her friend was furious with her.

She’s 20-years-old and married her husband two years ago. They didn’t care much about having a big, fancy wedding and didn’t have a lot of money, so she decided to wear her prom dress on her wedding day.

Her prom dress is a long, sequined, dark blue dress with one sleeve. It looked nothing like a traditional wedding dress, but it was the one fancy dress she owned, and she was happy to wear it on her special day. She’s also worn it out on several other occasions since the wedding.

One of her friends at her wedding was Ciara, who’s 22 and recently got married.

“I was obviously invited,” she said.

“The wedding color scheme was dark blue, and she requested fancy attire, so I thought my dark blue dress would be fine. It’s not white, and it’s not even remotely close to a wedding dress. I also didn’t feel like wasting money on another fancy dress that I wouldn’t ever wear again, especially since we aren’t rich.”

When she showed up to Ciara’s wedding in her blue dress, she wasn’t standing out, as some of the other guests were dressed even fancier than her. However, when Ciara saw her, she was furious.

“She yelled at me in front of all the guests and in front of her husband and my husband, saying that what I did was horrible and that no one shows up at a wedding in a wedding dress,” she recalled.

“I tried to reason with her, saying that the dress isn’t a wedding dress, it’s the only fancy piece of clothing I own, [and] that I wore it to multiple occasions.”

Ciara still wasn’t having it and continued yelling at her, to the point where some of her bridesmaids had to rush in to calm her down. Because of all the drama, she and her husband ended up leaving Ciara’s wedding early. 

Ciara is still mad at her and has since sent several text messages accusing her of upstaging her on her wedding day. She chose to ignore Ciara’s texts but couldn’t help wondering if she had done anything wrong.

Was she wrong to wear her wedding dress to Ciara’s wedding, or did Ciara overreact?
