A WOMAN has shared the frustrating experience of her sister-in-law’s questionable behaviour leading up to her wedding day.
What started as a good relationship quickly soured when her sister-in-law became evasive about her outfit.

Despite repeated requests to see what she planned to wear, the bride-to-be was met with ghosting and vague answers.
When the big day arrived, the sister-in-law showed up in a champagne-coloured dress – strikingly similar to the bride’s ivory wedding gown.
The bride was understandably upset, and decided to take to online forum Reddit to share a picture of the dress and express her anger.
She wrote: “My sister-in-law and I shared a good relationship up until my husband proposed and we started wedding planning.
“She evaded every conversation about her outfit before our wedding.
“Every time I asked her to show me what she was planning on wearing, I was met with either ghosting or simply being told I’ll get to see it at the wedding directly.
“I had shared pictures of my wedding dress with her (unfortunately) months in advance because I was just excited to share.
“Lo and behold, I get to the venue the day of the wedding to see her in this dress.
“It looked really cheap on her because she wasn’t wearing appropriate underwear and just looked tacky overall because it didn’t fit her well.”
She was especially upset when the dress didn’t fit well and looked cheap, though she refrained from commenting on it.
The woman continues: “I was p***ed nonetheless since this was very similar to the silhouette of my wedding dress, except mine was ivory and not champagne.
“I didn’t comment on her outfit or how she looked even once while I complimented other girlfriends on how pretty they looked.”
She now keeps her distance, opting for minimal or no contact.
The woman finishes the post by giving some advice to other Reddit users.
She wrote: “Don’t be a jerk, don’t wear white/ivory/champagne dresses especially when it’s NOT YOUR WEDDING!
“You had/will have your day at your own wedding. Seriously. Don’t be a narcissistic a**h**e.”
Just play dumb and say that’s how it came out in the photos
Reddit comment
Her post gained a lot of attention with many people rushing to the comments section to share their thoughts.
One wrote: “I love the ‘who is dressed inappropriately’ game.
“The last wedding I was at was unfortunate because a lot of people didn’t dress in the dress code (semi-formal), but the winner was the guy in tennis shoes and quick-dry athletic T-shirt.”
Another added: “Oh darling, don’t you know?
This was the dress that was posted on Reddit[/caption]
“All you have to do is explain the situation to the photographer and request to pay extra to have them photoshop her dress whatever color you f***ing want.
“I’m thinking, pee yellow/green.
“Bet she won’t bring it up when the photos come out.
“If she does, you can just play dumb and say that’s how it came out in the photos, maybe the lighting or something, I don’t know.”
Whilst a third said: “I was just at an allegedly semi-formal wedding and felt so silly about being overdressed.
“The only two men there who even wore jackets were my husband and the groom.”
Wedding Guest Outfit Etiquette
If you're struggling to decided on a dress to see you through wedding season, here's a few rules on what not to wear so you don't get in trouble.
- Folklore says that wearing red at a wedding means you slept with the groom.
- Casual attire like jeans and flip flops should always be avoided.
- Any colour that could be picked up as white or cream – even if it’s not.
- Most would agree that your cleavage needs to be covered.
- Wearing white is a massive no-no if you’re not the bride.
