'My entitled sister wore white to my wedding – but my family thinks I'm in the wrong'

A woman was left fuming after her "entitled" sister showed up to her wedding in a white lace dress, despite the fact she'd asked all of her guests to avoid the colour

A bride has called out her sister for blatantly ignoring her wishes on her wedding day. The 27-year-old explained she had made it very clear to her guests to avoid wearing white to her ceremony to keep herself as the centre of attention.

Despite this, her 31-year-old sister decided to make waves by turning up in a white lace dress — a move that was, the bride felt, designed to steal her thunder.

She vented her frustration on Reddit: "My sister, who I have a complicated relationship with, decided to test me in the worst way possible. We've never been close, she's always tried to one-up me, even during family events. It's exhausting, but I figured she'd at least behave at my wedding.

"Months ago, when I sent out the dress code, I made it very clear: no one wears white but me. It wasn't negotiable. My sister gave me an attitude about it, saying I was being 'insecure' and that 'no one cares about tradition anymore.' I told her that whether or not she agreed, she needed to respect it."

The moment she caught sight of her sister in the crowd during the ceremony, her heart sank. Once the vows were exchanged, she confronted her sister about her choice of attire.

The response she got was dismissive. The woman continued: "She said, 'It's not that white, and besides, no one will care.' I told her that if she didn't change, she wasn't welcome. She threw a tantrum about how I was ruining her day and stormed off, telling everyone I was being 'bridezilla.' Some family members told me to let it slide because 'she's just like that,' but I was done.

"So, I told the staff not to let her back in unless she changed. She never came back." However, now her sister blames her for 'ruining' their relationship for good - and even her parents are taking their sister's side.

She added: "My parents are mad, saying I should've just ignored her because 'it's only a dress,' but I feel like this was a deliberate choice to sabotage my day. My husband agrees with me, but some family is still pissed."

Commenting on her post, one user said: "Your sister disrespected your clear dress instructions and showed up in a white gown almost identical to a wedding dress. She was trying to steal the spotlight at your wedding. You were right to uphold your boundaries and not let her ruin your day. Ignore the family members who say you should've just let it slide. This was your special day, and she didn't care."

Another user chimed in: "Your sister sounds like a total drama queen. If she can't respect a simple dress code, then she doesn't deserve to be at your wedding. You did the right thing by kicking her out. It's your day, and you get to decide the rules."

A third user expressed: "Oh the audacity on her, She did that on purpose, She's the asshole and not you. Every gaddamn person know's white is reserved for the bride and the bride only."
