There are certain etiquette rules when it comes to attending someone’s wedding . One of the big ones we have heard of is not to upstage the bride . After all, it is her day that she has dreamed of all her life, so why do that? Am I right?
So this one lady’s video on TikTok about a dress she bought for her cousin’s wedding has recently drawn some controversy. Let’s check it out.

A woman who goes by the TikTok handle @savedbythedels has people divided.
It all stems from a video she posted in which she says she, “… accidentally bought a wedding dress for her cousin’s wedding.” Ha, ha, say what? Oh, yes, that’s right.
Check this out.
This is the dress in question. What do you think, huh? It’s pretty. I have to give her that. It doesn’t scream wedding dress to me, but in my opinion, it’s a little too puffy to wear to someone else’s wedding.
I mean, if I were a wedding guest, I would want to wear something more subtle.
Do you hear what I’m saying? As I said before, the first rule of attending someone else’s wedding is not to upstage the bride.
Imagine if the bride was wearing something very plain.
Chances are, some people might confuse this woman with the bride, and that would be quite an awkward moment even if they’re related, ha, ha. I know I wouldn’t be all too happy about that.
After she posted her video on TikTok other ladies started commenting online.
Many of them said that if she was doubtful about wearing the dress — she should just ask the bride. Some brides don’t care, while others might get annoyed.
On the other hand, if you have to ask — then you already know the answer.
Some brides might feel weird about saying ‘no,’ especially to a family member. So why put the onus on them and add stress to their day?
However, many ladies loved the dress.
And they didn’t think there was anything wrong with wearing it to a wedding. Well, perhaps they’re more understanding than other brides. Honestly, you never know how somebody is going to react. That’s all.
Others simply suggested that she could just dye it a darker shade.
That could work too, no? I mean, if she loves the dress so much and still wants to wear it to her cousin’s wedding, that’s a good option, no?
So what’s your opinion on this dress?
Is it appropriate to wear to a wedding when you’re the guest? Or do you think this violates some “rule” we are supposed to follow?
I’d love to know what’s your take on this. Are there any traditions in your family that you need to respect during a wedding?
