She believes her sister did it on purpose
The woman wrote that she thought her sister stained her wedding dress on purpose.
“The morning of my wedding, I was getting ready in the bridal suite with my mom, a couple of close friends, and my younger sister,” she recalled.
She was excited to wear the dress
The woman wrote, “My dress was everything I’d dreamed of, satin with lace at the neckline and a small train. I was so excited to finally wear it.”
The issue happened when she finished up her makeup only to find ‘a bright lipstick stain on the lace’ of her dress.
It was a bothersome stain
“Not small, not hidden, right across the neckline,” the user reiterated, before explaining that, ultimately, ‘a seamstress covered most of it with extra lace.”
“From the outside, no one could tell. But I knew. Every time I looked at my photos, I saw it,” she wrote.
It still upsets her years later
Years later, she’s still upset about the situation, writing, “What hurts most is that I don’t think it was an accident.”
“She never apologized properly. It felt intentional, like she couldn’t handle not being the center of attention that day.”
The guests didn’t notice it but she disliked it
“The wedding looked perfect to the guests, but inside, I carried that sting all day. And even now, years later, I still can’t forget it,” she ultimately said.
Although the former bride wasn’t looking for advice on the incident, the post sparked conversation with fellow Reddit users.
They expressed that she needed to let it go
Many of the Redditors expressed that it was time for her to let go of the incident.
One person wrote, “Time to let it go, 7 years? Either way it’s over and the only one it bothers is you. Move on.”
Another cited their own story
Another user advised against holding grudges, citing her own experience, “My 60-year-old sister carries decades-old grudges and resentments; it color’s a lot of her life. She can’t figure out why friends and family spend minimal time with her.”
“She’s a depressing pill to be around. Don’t carry grudges, they only harm you and you will never get the kind of reconciliation or retribution that you think will make everything better.”
