She Kicked Her Cousin Out Of Her Wedding For Not Wearing A White Dress
Not everyone goes the traditional route when they have their wedding, and this 28-year-old woman was in that camp when she tied the knot two weeks ago.
She and her husband knew they wanted no children at their wedding, which isn’t so unusual, but then they picked a very unique dress code: they asked their guests to wear white.
Now, this is normally the color that the bride wears, but she hates white. She worries about getting dirty whenever she wears the color, so she picked out a blue wedding dress, not a white one.
She then selected her bridal party, which included her best friend from high school, her two besties from middle school, her cousin, and her 16-year-old niece.
She didn’t invite anyone under 18 to her wedding, but her niece was the single exception to that rule.
During shopping for the bridesmaid dresses, she told everyone their dress had to be black to match all the groomsmen.
They found a perfect dress that fit everyone, and then her cousin asked why her niece was getting a black dress.
She pointed out to her cousin that her niece was a bridesmaid, which her cousin was shocked by. There definitely was tension after that, but she pulled her niece aside and said it was important for her to hold a bridesmaid role.
Things were smoothed over, but when it came time for her to shop for her wedding dress, her cousin ruined that, too.

She invited her parents, her in-laws, and her bridesmaids to pick out the dress with her, and her mom found one that she adored.
“We were all happy until my cousin said something that made me snap,” she explained. “She said that I should pick a dress that made me look prettier and not as fat.”
“I blacked out and said a bunch of things I shouldn’t have, then kicked her out of the bridal party and the wedding.”
“A few days later, my aunt, who I love and respect, called to ask for my cousin to be invited as a guest. I did feel guilty about the things I said, so I said yes.”
On the day of her wedding, when she walked down the aisle, she spotted her cousin sitting there in a strapless gold dress.
She fought back tears and made it to the altar without crying.
When she wrapped up her vows with her husband, she demanded that her wedding planner go kick her cousin out.
It made her so upset that her cousin didn’t stick to the dress code and wear white like everybody else in attendance.
“A few think she could have stayed, but others think she should have followed the dress code,” she continued.
“My aunt thinks I could have asked her to leave instead of having security throw her out and embarrass her.”
She’s left wondering if it was wrong of her to kick her cousin out for having the nerve to show up in a gold dress.
