A bride has revealed that she sent an angry email to a company to say her wedding dress arrived incorrect, only to realize it was inside out.
She later took to Facebook to share her awkward gaff, admitting: "Sometimes it doesn't matter how much school we put behind us.... we're still going to lack common sense."
Aubrey of Louisville penned a lengthy Facebook post in which she explained buying the wedding dress online.
Like all online clothing shoppers, she was excited to try the dress and ensure that it was a fit, but as soon as put it on she became "really upset about the looks of it and sent an angry email to the company wanting to return it."
Alongside the Facebook post, Aubrey attached two pictures: one showing how the dress was supposed to look and another revealing what it looked like on her.
The company replied earlier this month, advising: "You put the dress on inside out, please put it on the right way."
Aubrey explained that she shared her experience on Facebook by way of an apology to the company and to laugh at her own bridal fail as "the dress actually turned out beautiful" when she put it on the right way.
"They probably didn’t appreciate my angry email, this post is the least I could do to thank them for 'fixing' the problem (me, the problem was me). But I hope they appreciated a good laugh," she wrote.
"And you all too.....during this tense time of the election results, I hope you take comfort in the fact I was not on your presidential ballot....nor will I ever be running for any office....I'll help save your life but seriously- please don't call me to dress you, apparently I have trouble doing that for myself [sic]," she added.
Aubrey later opened up about what caused her to make such an obvious blunder, explaining that she had "no sleep (16-24 hour shifts for a living ), finals week" as well as being "in a rush between jobs."
She also cited the stress of trying to get married during a pandemic and having "no idea about fashion or shipping measures for formal dresses."
"I wear scrubs and tactical boots for a livin'," she added.
She then shared some helpful advice for any other future brides reading.
"Live. Laugh. Love. Apologize," she wrote. "Ask your bridesmaids to lace you up not your husband, and hire the wedding planners."
