A Bride Tried To Spill Her Drink On Her At A Wedding Because The Bride Felt Upstaged
One of the biggest things brides are often paranoid about is that a female guest or member of their bridal party will somehow ‘upstage’ them at their wedding.
One woman was recently accused of upstaging her friend’s fiancée at his wedding, even though she wore an outfit her friend had approved in advance.
She was recently invited to her friend’s wedding. Her friend was the groom, and she had met the bride about five months before the wedding.
Because it was her first Western wedding, she was worried about wearing the right outfit and wanted to dress appropriately. When she asked her friend for the dress code, he told her the wedding would be formal, and the color palette consisted of pastels and neutrals.
She had a grey saree, a traditional Southeast Asian dress, in her closet that she felt would be great for the wedding.
“I have this lovely saree that fit the bill, so I sent [the groom] a picture, and he said it’s perfect,” she recalled.
“Five months before the wedding, I met the bride with many other of the groom’s friends at a bar. I showed her pictures of the saree to ask if it was appropriate. I also told her I’d be happy to buy a new outfit if it wasn’t [and] whatever she said would go. She said it was delightful.”
The bride also mentioned something about how she was excited to have someone wearing a culturally different outfit at her wedding, which she thought was a little odd, but she was happy that the bride approved of her look regardless.
On the day of the wedding, everything was going great until the reception, when the bride changed into a different gown that had a grey-white colored fabric that looked almost identical to her saree’s fabric.

However, most of the bride’s second gown was still white, so she figured she was in the clear.
Then, as the reception progressed, she noticed she was getting a lot of attention and compliments on her saree.
“The groom’s mother especially loved it, as she kept coming up to me to compliment me more,” she said.
“She’s half-Indian and was brought up in the country. She, too, had worn a saree for the special day, and seeing someone else in [one] seemed to be sentimental to her. The bride and her bridesmaids were a different ballgame. The bride gave me the stink eye [and] a bridesmaid tried to spill her drink on me.”
At some point, another bridesmaid approached her and gave her attitude, asking if the saree would appear white in the wedding photographs. When it came time for group photos, the bride arranged for her to be on the edge of the formation.
One of the most insulting moments came during the bouquet toss when the maid of honor asked if she’d be trying to catch the bouquet even though she had “gotten enough attention” throughout the day.
“I asked my friends if my behavior or outfit was inappropriate [and[ they didn’t think anything of it,” she added.
But after the bride began treating her differently and the bridal party ganged up on her, she wondered if she had done anything wrong. While it was unsettling to have the bride turn on her like that, she still managed to have a good time.
Did she do anything wrong, or was the bride’s behavior ridiculous?
