Bride furious after sister-in-law wears 'white wedding dress' to her big day
A bride was left fuming after her sister-in-law wore a 'wedding dress' to her big day. Taking to the popular Reddit forum Wedding Shaming, an outraged guest shared photos of the woman in question, revealing a floor-length gown with floral detailing. Looking as though she was trying to upstage the bride, the rebellious attendee claimed she was wearing a sage -green dress in accordance with the dress code, which was 'pastel chic'. But the disgruntled bride was not happy, especially as her mother-in-law had already put in a request to wear white, which was denied. The poster wrote: 'The dress code was summer pastel chic, so think Easter colors. 'The girlfriend of the groom's brother wore a sage green (wedding) dress that in no way, shape or form appeared to be sage green, or any other color. 'The veil she's carrying was the flower girl's (her daughter). This was after the mother-in-law had asked the bride if she could wear a white jumpsuit to the wedding, to which the bride obviously said no.' The bride was enraged by the fact that the design of the dress was also bridal - complete with off-the-shoulder sleeves and a romantic, figure-hugging silhouette. To further undermine the claim that the dress was a 'sage' shade, the sister-in-law is pictured wearing green shoes, making the dress look white. The post racked up thousands of comments and sparked a fiery debate, with many shocked on behalf of the bride. One commenter wrote, simply: 'Wow, that's very bridal,' to which another incredulous user responded: 'Yeah this is straight up a wedding dress.' Another wrote: 'I like how her SHOE was sage green. Like, she had a perfect example of what the color is supposed to look like. 'Instead she went about as white as you can go on the color wheel. Wtf. Who thinks this is appropriate?' Some else joked: 'The dress looks like the smell of the color sage from another room.' The majority of commenters could not believe the 'insane' decision to wear 'a full-on wedding gown,' but others sided with the guest. '"Summer Pastel chic" is simply asking for trouble.' 'Honestly yes. So many pastels photograph white or look white under some lighting.' 'I wore a bright-yellow dress with a belt to a friend's wedding. It was so clearly bright yellow, I thought it was a safe choice. Nope! 'A lot of the evening photos were black and white. My dress looked like a wedding dress.' Another comment dished out some seemingly obvious wedding guest advice, writing: 'To be safe, you should never wear any white dress to a wedding that is not yours. 'That being said, not all white dresses are wedding dresses. This is absolutely a wedding dress.'

Bride and Groom Charge Their Wedding Guests for Water at Sweltering Hot Outdoor Wedding
A guest, who shared the story on Reddit, said they were "drowning in my own sweat" after sitting in the sun for the ceremonyNEED TO KNOW A bride and groom charged their wedding guests for water at their wedding, which was held outdoors on a hot and humid day One of their guests, who shared the story on Reddit, said they were "drowning in my own sweat" after sitting in the sun for the ceremony The guest also griped that they got sick from the buffet food at the receptionA bride and groom tied the knot in an outdoor ceremony on a sweltering hot day — and their thirsty guests were forced to pay for their own water. One of the guests detailed what they described as the "disaster of a wedding" in a post on Reddit's "Wedding Shaming" forum. They wrote that the event was "a mess" from "start to not-even-finish" because they ultimately ended up bailing and leaving early. "It was an outdoor wedding on a humid 95° and sunny afternoon (thought it was indoor because I looked up the venue)," the OP (original poster) wrote, describing how guests — who were given little information about the event setup — differed in their approaches to dressing for the occasion. "People were in shorts, tees, and slip-ons, and others were in floor-length gowns. One lady was in a full white dress," they noted. After sitting in the sun for the ceremony, the OP said they were "drowning in my own sweat" by the time the cocktail hour began. "All I want is water," they recalled. However, when it was the OP's turn in line at the bar, they were disappointed — and taken aback — to discover that there were "no free beverages — not even water." The bar staff said a water would cost $2 — and only cash would be accepted. Things went from bad to worse during the dinner when the OP went up to the buffet and saw that the food was "homemade" and attracting flies. "There's flies ALL OVER the food. Seriously, all up in the food," the Redditor claimed. "I take the smallest amount possible to be polite. I was so hungry and desperate that I did take a few bites. Within hours, I was creating jobs for local plumbers," they continued, seeming to imply they got sick after eating the buffet food. As for the dessert, the OP said guests were left to eat it without plates, forks or napkins because the buffet equipment had been cleared. "So I watched as people walked around holding dessert in their hands," they wrote. The unfortunate series of events culminated during the speeches, when the groom got into a fight with a relative that "got taken to the lawn," according to the OP. Needless to say, the OP took that occasion to "slip out" and go home. "I truly don't feel like this was real life. Like this had to be a practical joke, right??" they concluded their post, adding, "I may politely decline invitations I have no information about moving forward." In the comments, many readers were shocked by the OP's story, particularly the lack of free water. "Yikes. I'm glad no one got dehydrated and passed out or worse. I'm both glad and amazed," one person wrote. Another wrote, "How could they subject their guests to an outdoor wedding in the heat & humidity & not provide any free water? There should've been beverage dispensers placed throughout the venue so nobody would have to wait in line for a drink of water." Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. "I don't care how small your budget is, those are details that should not have been overlooked," the same commenter continued. "People could've gotten heat stroke or food poisoning. I wouldn't want that to be the memory of my wedding day." Attempting to make light of the OP's bleak wedding experience, another reader joked, "This wasn't a wedding. It was a survival challenge."

Bride left furious after sister-in-law wears 'wedding dress' to her big day
A bride was left fuming after her sister-in-law wore a 'wedding dress' to her big day. Taking to the popular Reddit forum Wedding Shaming', an outraged guest shared photos of the woman in question, revealing a white, floor-length gown with floral detailing. Looking uncomfortably like a bride, the rebellious attendee claimed she was wearing a sage green dress in accordance with the dress code, which was 'pastel chic'. But the disgruntled bride was not happy, especially as her mother-in-law had already put in a request to wear white, which was denied. The poster wrote: 'The dress code was summer pastel chic, so think Easter colours. 'The girlfriend of the groom's brother wore a sage green (wedding) dress that in no way, shape or form appeared to be sage green, or any other colour. 'The veil she's carrying was the flower girl's (her daughter). This was after the mother-in-law had asked the bride if she could wear a white jumpsuit to the wedding, to which the bride obviously said no.' Aside from the colour, the design of the dress appeared obviously bridal - complete with off-the-shoulder sleeves and a romantic, figure-hugging silhouette. To further undermine the claim that the dress was 'sage green', the sister-in-law is pictured wearing sage green shoes, with which the white dress starkly contrasts. The post racked up thousands of comments and sparked a fiery debate, with many shocked on behalf of the bride. One commenter wrote, simply: 'Wow, that's very bridal,' to which another incredulous user responded: 'Yeah this is straight up a wedding dress.' Another comment dished out some seemingly obvious wedding guest advice, writing: 'To be safe, you should never wear any white dress to a wedding that is not yours. 'That being said, not all white dresses are wedding dresses. This is absolutely a wedding dress.' At first glance, the images tripped many commenters up before they realised what they were looking at. One said: 'I was like "Cool, so what does the sister-in-law look like?"' Another chimed in: 'Exactly what I was going to say. The poster clearly included pictures of the actual bride for comparison then forgot to add pictures of the offending sister-in-law… nope.' A third felt the same, saying: 'My thought before I read the title was, "wow what a beautiful detail shot of the bride and the tablescape"... some people are insane.' Although the rule of avoiding white on someone else's special day seems obvious enough, it is often broken. 'To be safer, as a bride, bring a paintball gun to your wedding,' advised one person. 'No white dresses but the bride. 'This policy will be enforced by the bride via paintball gun. If you do not wish to be painted, please do not wear a fresh white canvas.' Some eagle-eyed followers were quick to spot the difference between the sage green shoes and the supposedly green dress. 'I like how her SHOE was sage green,' said one. 'Like, she had a perfect example of what the color is supposed to look like. 'Instead she went about as white as you can go on the color wheel. Wtf. Who thinks this is appropriate?' A second joked: 'The dress looks like the smell of the color sage from another room.' While holding the flower girl's veil, the sister-in-law's nuptial look goes even further. The poster wrote: 'The flower girl is her daughter, but as a cherry on top: the daughter was also the ring bearer and was too nervous to walk down the aisle so guess who walked down with her? Mommy dearest.' The majority of commenters could not believe the 'insane' decision to wear 'a full on wedding gown,' but others sided with the guest. '"Summer Pastel chic" is simply asking for trouble,' wrote one. 'Honestly yes,' another agreed. 'So many pastels photograph white or look white under some lighting.' A third shared their own story, writing: 'I wore a bright yellow floaty pleated dress with a belt to a friend's wedding. It was so clearly bright yellow, I thought it was a safe choice. Nope! 'A lot of the evening photos were black and white. My dress looked like a wedding dress.' While the memo could be to blame, the comment section is unanimous in their belief that there is no lighting that could redeem the sister-in-law's poor outfit choice.

Bridezilla bans water bottles from outdoor wedding over aesthetic concerns — in 102 degree heat: ‘Idiot'
Till death from dehydration do us part? A bridezilla with a death grip on her wedding day 'aesthetic' is getting roasted online after a Reddit post revealed she banned water bottles at her outdoor summer nuptials — because they clashed with the vibe. It was the big moment of her Pinterest dreams — and her guests' sweaty nightmares. Temperatures hit a scorching 102°F, but the bride reportedly refused to allow plastic or reusable bottles at the ceremony, leaving guests to bake in the sun with nothing but cucumber-mint spritzers served in dainty glasses better suited for Instagram than hydration. 'She apparently thought water bottles in photos would ruin the vibe,' the post, uploaded to r/weddingshaming on July 2 claimed — and yes, someone almost passed out during the vows. Dubbed 'The Thirst Games' by the person who made the post, the painfully curated ceremony prioritized a specific aesthetic over pulse rates. Guests, dressed in sweat-soaked linen and sunstroke-level blush tones, were reportedly left begging for basic hydration. The Redditor set the scene, writing, 'The bride was super into minimalist Pinterest vibes, everything was beige, blush, and white. Like, painfully curated. No loud colors, no mismatched chairs, even the waiters had to wear off-white. It honestly looked like a lifestyle photoshoot, until you realized it was 102°F outside and we were all sweating through our linen outfits.' There was a single hydration station 'after the ceremony,' the Redditor continued, 'tucked in a corner with a staff member pouring chilled water into dainty glasses one at a time. The line was insane.' One elderly guest had to be helped inside with signs of heat exhaustion. The groom's mother dared to take out a Hydro Flask — and was swiftly reprimanded by a horrified bride who 'actually gasped' and sent someone to put it away. (Guess stainless steel isn't 'on-theme.') Commenters in the thread were quick to drag the desert-chic debacle. 'Banning water bottles wouldn't even cross my mind, not because it's unreasonable, but because who the f—k even thinks of that,' one wrote. Another added, 'OMG she's lucky she didn't invite me and get treated to the aesthetic of a guest lying down on the ground with her feet propped up on a chair, while other guests run around calling emergency services.' Someone else came up with a potential fix for the idea of plastic bottles plaguing the bridezilla, writing, 'Glass water bottles. They don't mess with the color scheme. They're in like half of the still life's ever painted. It's such an obvious solution for her stupid manufactured, self imposed problem and yet she almost killed her husband's aunt instead.' An additional user agreed, 'Bride was an idiot for not providing a pretty refillable water bottle to every guests as part of the aesthetic… plus it doubles as a favor.' And if you think this is as unreasonable and out of touch as bridezillas can get, think again. As The Post previously reported, one bold bride-to-be sparked online outrage after asking wedding guests to cough up $500 each for accommodations — after claiming it was all covered. According to one peeved Redditor, invitees were originally told they only needed to handle their flights. But just two months before the big day, a surprise bill landed in their inboxes. If that weren't enough, the couple also launched five separate GoFundMe pages for their honeymoon, each with a $10,000 goal. One guest crunched the numbers and realized the couple would actually profit off the venue — charging guests more than the estate rental even costs. The grifty newlyweds are part of a growing trend of cash-hungry couples turning their 'I do' into an 'I invoice.' Weddings aren't cheap — and with the average American 'I do' topping $26K, many cash-strapped couples are now slapping guests with a cover charge just to get in the door.

Viral Reddit Post Slams "Greedy" Bride for Demanding Each Guest Pay $500 to Attend Her Destination Wedding
In a viral Reddit post, a guest explains that his or her cousin planned a destination wedding and told attendees that their accommodations were paid for and everyone simply needed to foot the bill for their transportation. Two months before the wedding, after guests started to RSVP, the bride demanded each guest send her $500 via Venmo to cover the cost of their stay. Reddit users agree the bride is in the wrong and that the original poster (and other guests) can and should change their cost of attending a wedding—whether a local event or a destination one—seems to get bigger and bigger each year. There's your attire and the gift, of course, but if it's you may also need to pay for things like childcare if your entire family isn't invited and an overnight stay at a hotel if the venue is just a little too far from home. And if it's a proper destination wedding you've been invited to attend, you'll need outfits for multiple nights of events, a hotel stay, and an airline ticket. When couples can help minimize the cost for guests—by organizing a room block or footing part of the bill—attendees always appreciate the thoughtful gesture. It's important that a couple follows through on that offer, though. In a viral Reddit post on the platform's /weddingshaming thread, an unhappy guest detailed how a couple informed attendees that everyone's accommodations for a destination wedding were "taken care of" and that they'd only be responsible for flights and transportation. Then, two months before the wedding, the bride told each guest they needed to pay $500 for their stay on the "large estate" that the couple booked for the big day. Related: Bride Conflicted After Grandmother She Never Planned on Inviting to the Wedding Offers to Pay for the Event To make matters worse, it seems as if the couple might actually profit from this requirement. "I checked the website and the venue fee includes access to the entire grounds and the number of guests I've been told are coming x $500 actually means she'll be making more than what the venue fee is," the original poster wrote. The unhappy guest also noted that couple created a GoFundMe for their honeymoon, and that they set a goal of raising $10,000 for their post-nuptial getaway. In replies to other commenters, the OP explained that this is his or her cousin's wedding, and that they are part of the wedding party, so backing out isn't exactly an option. The overarching problem, the guest noted, is that everyone was told their accommodations were covered; attendees made plans to attend and booked travel under the assumption that those were the only costs they'd need to incur. Had they known they also needed to pay for their stay, some people may have opted out of attending at all. Reddit users were quick to note that something felt off about the bride demanding guests pay her directly, via Venmo. "If it was just the accommodations you were paying for, you'd be paying the hotel directly," one user wrote. "She is literally planning a wedding to her standards, and then having her guests pay for it. That's sneaky, tacky, and cheap. It's not appropriate to put that kind of financial burden on your guests. I assume that gifts are expected on top of the cost of attending. Gross. Don't put yourself out financially for this person." Others note that the best thing the guest can do is be honest with his or her cousin about costs. "Just say you were told the only expenses would be for transportation," the user suggested. "This extra $1000 is unexpected and sadly, not in the budget." From there, they can see what the cousin says: Maybe they'll foot the bill for the stay or else allow them to bow out of their wedding party duties and the event as a whole. Another suggestion? Book a stay at a nearby (and affordable) hotel instead. "I would book the less expensive hotel and let them know that you did and why you did. Then they can make their own choices on what they want to do. It is not your job to fund the bride's dream venue," a user wrote. "If she told you guys all it was covered then it should have been covered. If she is not covering it then you guys can choose where you want to stay and how much you want to pay to stay there."
