She Confronted A Girl At Her Friend’s Wedding And Called Her Rude For Wearing A White Dress
Last week, this 28-year-old woman and her friend M attended their other friend’s wedding. She and M were super close to the bride during college, and after graduation, they still remained that way.
Their friend’s wedding was incredible, but she did have a tense moment with one of the guests that left her feeling pretty guilty.
One of the girls invited to the wedding happened to have on a bright white colored dress full of details, and she was seated at the bride’s family table.
She found it strange and unacceptable since you are never supposed to wear off-white or white as a wedding guest, and she and M talked about it.
M said the girl clearly was inconsiderate and rude to wear a white dress to the wedding, especially since this girl was chatting and walking around, calling attention to herself.
“I suggested that we bring it up with the bride when we have a chance,” she explained. “However, we couldn’t get a hold of her alone for the rest of the night as she was busy going around tables and doing activities.”
“I don’t know if it was my instinct to protect my friend or because of my ego, but I decided to take matters into my own hands and walked up (with M after me) to the girl when she sat down at her table.”
She confronted the girl, calling her rude for her outfit choice, and saying she was clearly being a show-off to the guests.
M backed her up and insisted the bride had to be upset that this girl was clearly attempting to destroy her wedding day.

The girl was surprised and apologized, saying she had no idea about the white dress but that the bride never said anything about it, so she figured it was fine.
“I told her that the bride was kind enough to let her stay ’cause if I were the bride, she would’ve been kicked out right when she walked through the door in that dress,” she said.
“M said a few more things, and then we left. I thought my action was justified and felt kind of proud for sticking up for my friend. For the rest of the night, I sometimes looked over the girl’s table and noticed that she didn’t leave her seat until after the wedding was over, and she left with the bride.”
“I contacted the bride a few days after the wedding to thank her for the wedding gifts and for inviting me to her wedding. Then I brought up the girl and asked if my friend was bothered by her at all. To my surprise, she didn’t, and even felt happy that the girl [wore what she did].”
The bride said that the girl was actually her niece and had flown in from a different country to be there at the wedding.
The white dress the girl was wearing was a present from the bride. The girl had sewed into the dress two swans as a symbol of the bride and her husband’s eternal love.
This was actually the reason why the girl was excited to show her dress to all of the other guests; not only was it a gift from the bride, but it had a special meaning.
“My friend also told me that guests not allowed to wear white to a wedding is never a thing where she came from, so people do it all the time,” she continued.
“I just feel so guilty and embarrassed after knowing this because the girl looked extremely down after my confrontation.”
She truly believed she did the right thing at the wedding in calling out the girl for her white dress, but now she’s left feeling like a terrible person. What do you think?
