Imagine being asked to dress as a Disney princess for your friend’s wedding. Sounds like a dream come true, right? Well, not for this 24-year-old bridesmaid, who found herself in a sticky situation when her Disney-obsessed friend, Holly, decided to have a fairytale-themed wedding. Holly assigned each bridesmaid a princess to dress up as, but things took an unexpected turn when our protagonist was assigned a character that didn’t quite match her ethnicity.

A Fairytale Wedding or a Nightmare?
Our 24-year-old protagonist was asked to dress as Disney’s Tiana for her friend Holly’s fairytale-themed wedding. However, she’s white, and Tiana is a Black princess. She tried suggesting alternative green-dressed princesses, but Holly refused. Our protagonist decided to stand her ground and refused to dress as Tiana, causing a rift between her and the bride-to-be. Now, she’s receiving backlash from Holly’s friends and family, questioning if she’s making a big deal out of nothing. Let’s dive into some of the top responses from the internet to see what they think about this fairytale fiasco.
