A bride has been dragged online after she criticized one of her bridesmaids for having gray hair on the wedding day.

A person's wedding day will be one of the biggest days of their lives, should getting married be on the agenda.

People are so intrigued with what makes the perfect wedding day, that TV shows have been dedicated to the details such as dress shopping and general planning.

Some people can perhaps be a bit too hands-on when it comes to wedding planning, and one bride attempted to dictate the color of her bridesmaid's hair.

As reported by the Daily Mail, the bride posted anonymously on a wedding planning Facebook group where she detailed her situation.

"Today we met up for our monthly meeting to go over the agenda and order of the day," the post read. "I noticed when my bridesmaid turned her head that she's got quite a number of grey hairs.

"I mentioned this to her and suggested dying it before my big day. She refused and said hairdresser appts are too expensive and she's allergic to box dye."

The bride went on to refer to the hair as "unsightly" and that she was worried it would "take away from the beauty of [her] dress".

The post was picked up and shared on Reddit's Wedding Shaming forum, where it was met with many confused comments from readers.

One person wrote: "I’ll never understand why getting married gives people the idea that it is ok to act this way. Shaming someone for gray hairs, like honestly, no one cares! How awful."

A second person added: "Do these people even like their friends?! I couldn’t imagine ever thinking this way about my friends let alone say those kinds of things out loud."

A third said: "I am in love with the idea of people getting together for this wedding and going, yeah everyone looks fine, I guess? She'd look a lot better if that third bridesmaid didn't have those few gray hairs though."

It's unknown whether the bride let her bridesmaid attend while having some gray hairs because it's doubtful that they would ruin the day.
