Wedding Wardrobe Wars: Sari vs Short Dress
Our protagonist, an Indian woman with a strict heritage and eczema, found herself in a whirlwind of drama at her cousin’s wedding in India. Wearing a traditional sari for the haldi ceremony, she was shocked to see other guests in short dresses and was asked by the bride, Laura, to change into a mini dress that would expose her eczema-covered legs. She refused, offering to change if a longer dress was provided, but Laura called her a b**ch and accused her of trying to upstage her. The drama didn’t end there, as Laura’s family and friends called our protagonist an a**hole and the tension continued during their quarantine stay. Eventually, our protagonist confronted Laura and discovered there was a dress code for the haldi ceremony that she wasn’t aware of. After a final confrontation, Laura apologized and peace was restored. ✌️ Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
