Bride's Rage as Groom's Family Wears Same Color Dresses as Bridesmaids
2024-12-05
A man and a woman are on the verge of getting married, yet it was only recently that their guests found out about the color of the bridesmaid dresses. This seemingly simple matter has led to a significant rift within the wedding preparations. When the groom's sister and mother discovered that their dresses would be the same color as the bridesmaids', they firmly refused to change them due to the late notice. Now, the bride has accused them of attempting to sabotage her special day.

"Wedding Woes: Bridesmaid Dress Color Conundrum"

Initial Invitation and Dress Color Revelation

The groom's sister shared that initially, they only received a virtual invitation with no mention of dress colors. They asked and were simply told not to wear anything white-ish. It was only last week that the cousin was asked to be a bridesmaid and only today did they learn the dress color. This lack of clear communication set the stage for the upcoming drama.

Stock photos often depict bridesmaids looking elegant in their gowns. But in this case, the color choice has become a source of contention. The bride, based in Belgium, had chosen to organize the wedding herself, wanting to surprise everyone with the details. However, this decision has led to misunderstandings and conflicts.

The groom's mother initially offered to help with wedding arrangements as she is from New Zealand where the wedding will take place. But the bride's independent approach has created a situation where details were not shared in a timely manner.

Dress Color Dilemma and Requests

When the bride learned of the dress color dilemma from the groom's cousin, she immediately asked the two women to change the colors of their dresses. The groom's sister argued that she had asked for dress code regulations several times before and had not been informed about the bridesmaid dress color until now. She believed it was too late to make any changes.

The groom seemed to understand and said it was fine, but the bride was not satisfied. She called the groom's cousin in a fit of rage, believing that the groom's sister and mother were deliberately trying to sabotage her wedding. The poster continued to explain that they only took the decision to ask them to be bridesmaids last week and one of them had already bought a dress. As a result, it was easier for the other two to wear the same color and ask the mother to change hers instead of asking the friend to wear a different color.

This situation has sparked a heated debate among Reddit users. Most commented that the bride was being overly dramatic and that the groom's sister and mother should be allowed to wear the dresses they had already purchased. One person said, "So exhausting. She's trying to make OP and mom jump through hoops to fix her own lack of organization. And blaming it all on them." Another added, "She needs to grow up. What does the bridesmaids' color matter?"
