Bridesmaid Drama: Cover Up or Stand Up?
Our protagonist, a 21-year-old woman with vitiligo and scars, was asked to be a bridesmaid in her cousin Dan’s wedding. The bride, Laura, initially asked her to cover up her scars, which she reluctantly agreed to. However, Laura later requested that she cover up her vitiligo as well, which would mean wearing a completely different dress or being covered in concealing cream. Our protagonist tried to explain that this would only make her stand out more, but Laura insisted she figure something out. In the end, our protagonist decided not to be a part of the wedding party and even declined to attend as a guest when Laura demanded she cover up in that capacity too. While most people sided with our protagonist, some suggested she should’ve swallowed her pride for a day. What do you think? Let’s see what the internet has to say about this situation…
