A bride took to the internet to ask if she was wrong for booting her sister from the wedding for not sticking to the dress code.
She shared on Reddit’s “Am I the A——?” forum that she and her partner decided on a color scheme for the wedding, where guests had to wear colors based on the wedding party’s sides.
The bride’s fave color was yellow, her groom’s was blue, and mutual friends were to wear green. While guests could mix neutral colors with the assigned ones, they were asked not to wear anything outside those shades.
“When [my sister] Jen found out about this, she was mad,” the bride recalled in her post. “I didn’t know this [at the time], but she hates yellow, and [said] it ‘washes her out.’ She told me under no circumstances would she wear yellow. I shrugged and said that was fine–I would just kick her out if she did not wear yellow.”
She also opened up about her rocky history with her sister, mentioning the “special treatment” her sister received from their parents and her tendency to throw tantrums.
On the big day, her sister showed up in a purple dress, disrupting the color scheme the bride meticulously planned.
Since the wedding was solely her effort without parental backing, she took the bold step to ask her sister to leave.
Despite the smooth flow of the rest of the event, her parents were upset with her decision to remove her sister.
The bride stood her ground, emphasizing that it was her wedding, and she had the right to decide who could stay.
Several people commented, agreeing that the bride was justified in asking her sister to leave for not adhering to the dress code.
One commenter pointed out the sister’s apparent intent to cause trouble by wearing a non-compliant color, describing it as an act of “pure spite.”
They believed the sister aimed to steal the spotlight, counting on parental support.
Another commenter highlighted that those who disagreed could have gracefully opted out, emphasizing the sister’s history of trying to overshadow the bride.
In an update, the Reddit poster shared that she had a heart-to-heart with her parents, expressing her emotions about the situation and her upbringing. They seemed willing to mend things and even suggested therapy for her sister.
