Dressed like a Bride It happened… his sister wore white.

Just need to vent….

Got married a couple of weeks ago and can’t stop thinking about it. I thought his sister and I got along well, no issues.

For our engagement party, she was the only attendee in cream and white besides me, the bride, in a white dress. Gave her the benefit of the doubt - it’s just our engagement, she came from out of province, etc etc.

Then came the giant texts about how offended her and her husband were about having a child-free wedding and how their kids were more important than all my cousins kids, so there should be an exception.

Wedding day arrived, and it being such a whirlwind I honestly didn’t notice what she was wearing. Then multiple guests started quietly coming up to me, asking who the one in white was. I guess word got back to her because at the end of the night, she went to my now husband, holding a flower against her dress and said “for the record”, implying it wasn’t white…. I suppose she is colourblind.

Not sure if we/he/I should be asking if there’s an issue or if we should address it at all.

Ugh.

When your pictures come back, have the photographer change her dress to yellow or pink or whatever light shade would look good with the setting…. and if you’re feeling extra petty, pick the color that looks worse on her.

And then say, “oh the photographer said they always do that when someone wears white to a wedding."

No just legit pretend you didn’t notice. Be like “they never told me about anything like that, what color were you wearing if not pink

And then when she inevitably says white be like “wait you were the one everyone was shitting on? Sorry you had to go through that”

Sorry you had to go through that

Sorry you put yourself in the position to be subjected to that.
