Wedding guest 'upstages' bride with her attire 😱
A woman received backlash from her cousin's wedding after being accused of 'upstaging' the bride with her attire. Despite being told to wear cocktail attire, most guests showed up in casual clothing, with the bride herself wearing a custom *gothic* dress with heavy black makeup. The woman wore a tea length dress and matching shawl with flats, as well as real pearl jewelry. She received compliments throughout the night, but was later bombarded with calls from the bride's mother and husband accusing her of 'making the bride feel ugly at her own wedding.' Despite her efforts to look her best and make a good impression, the woman found herself at the center of unwanted attention. Read on for the reactions to this wedding faux pas.
Guest dresses appropriately for cocktail attire, but bride is upset.
