Imagine planning your dream ocean-themed wedding, only to have it disrupted by a bridesmaid’s dress color choice. That’s exactly what happened to a bride (31F) who had her big day on Friday. Her bridesmaid, Anna, had recently lost her mother and wanted to honor her by wearing her late mom’s favorite color – dark, vibrant purple. However, the bride had explicitly requested her bridesmaids to wear blue, coral pink, or pastel green. What followed was a whirlwind of emotions, arguments, and ultimately, a screaming match at the wedding.

Bridesmaid’s Purple Dress Ignites Wedding Drama
In a heart-wrenching turn of events, Anna’s desire to honor her late mother by wearing a purple dress to the ocean-themed wedding led to an emotional showdown. Despite the bride’s insistence on sticking to the theme, Anna showed up in a purple dress, causing a scene and ultimately being escorted out of the wedding in tears. As the dust settled, the bride was bombarded with messages accusing her of being insensitive and selfish.
