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?
