There’s no denying that weddings are some of the most beautiful celebrations out there. But what makes them even more special is the time and effort that the couple puts into planning their special day. The decorations, the music, the food and drinks, the outfits; everything has to be flawless.
While the pressure might get to some people, others take it as a challenge and want everything to be as close to perfection as possible. And when it comes to the outfits, there’s an etiquette that’s been around for ages, and it’s saying that unless you are the bride, you should avoid wearing white as it can be taken as disrespectful to the bride.
And this is what happened to a Reddit user who shared a story about how he refused to take his girlfriend to a wedding when she wore a white dress. Let’s dive into the full story.
A man asks his girlfriend to respect wedding etiquette, she calls him a j**k

He thought her dress was inappropriate but she called him a j**k!

He tried to be lighthearted but his GF didn’t agree – outdated tradition or an attempt to control women?

Girlfriend feels controlled and calls him a j**k after he asks her to change her dress for a wedding

Girlfriend tears up as the man insists she changes her dress for the wedding, but he stands his ground.

Is he an a**hole for telling his girlfriend not to wear a white dress to his colleague’s wedding?

Girlfriend finds out about the thread and the couple talks it out over the phone

He refused to work it out, and she called him a j**k. “It was a pretty good talk”

A disagreement that escalated to name-calling left one user feeling sad and wondering what a future with their partner would look like

After the heated argument, they both found a resolution that worked for them both – an example of mature communication

He asked her to change her dress for a wedding, she called him a j**k.
One weekend, a man in his early thirties invited his girlfriend of one year to a wedding ceremony. As she comes out to join him, he notices she is wearing an off-white dress and politely suggests she change to a different color. She becomes upset, believing he is trying to control her, and calls him an abuser. He is hurt and upset, and the two part ways. But was the man in the right, or was he being a j**k?
