What happens when family traditions clash with teenage fashion choices? Drama, that’s what! A dad recently found himself in the eye of a storm when he refused to let his 14-year-old daughter attend her aunt’s wedding. The reason? She wanted to wear a white dress.

A White Dress, A Wedding, and a Family Feud!
So, there you have it, folks! A dad’s attempt to uphold wedding etiquette results in a family feud. He uninvites his own daughter from her aunt’s wedding because she insists on wearing a white dress. His wife and daughter are furious, giving him the cold shoulder. And the bride? She’s upset her niece wasn’t there. The dad’s caught between a rock and a hard place, with some family members siding with him, while others think he overreacted. It’s a real pickle! Let’s see what the internet has to say about this family drama…
NTA for enforcing dress code, but could have called sister.

NTA: Daughter’s white dress drama causes family conflict.

NTA. Daughter’s inappropriate dress leads to self-imposed consequences.

“She is 14 and should know better” – alternatively, she is 14 and may never have been to a wedding before and may not know about the “don’t wear white” rule, and having spent ages choosing a dress got very stressed (since she is still a literal child) at being told she couldn’t wear her chosen dress, for reasons she didn’t understand. Don’t put all the blame on a literal 14 year old. The wife is far more to blame here.

NTA. Daughter’s dress might look like a wedding dress. Picture?
