A bride has been praised for kicking her sister out of her wedding for her choice of dress.
Taking to Reddit's infamous 'Am I The A**hole?' thread, a 27-year-old woman decided to ask social media users whether she was the one to blame for the fact that she kicked her sister out of her special event because of the dress she chose to turn up in.
"...It was supposed to be the happiest day of my life," she said, referring to her wedding day. "My sister (31F), who I have a complicated relationship with, decided to test me in the worst way possible."
She went on to state that she's never been "close" as her older sibling has "always tried to one-up [her] even during family events."
Regardless, she thought it would be different this time at her wedding.
"Months ago, when I sent out the dress code, I made it very clear: no one wears white but me. It wasn’t negotiable. My sister gave me attitude about it, saying I was being 'insecure' and that 'no one cares about tradition anymore.' I told her that whether or not she agreed, she needed to respect it," she continued.
That's some solid boundaries to lay - we love.
But of course, her sister just did not want to listen.
"The morning of the wedding, she showed up wearing a floor-length, lace white dress. It was practically a bridal gown. My heart dropped, and I straight-up asked her what the hell she was thinking. She said, 'It’s not that white, and besides, no one will care,'" the newlywed wrote.
"I told her that if she didn’t change, she wasn’t welcome. She threw a tantrum about how I was ruining her day and stormed off, telling everyone I was being 'bridezilla.' Some family members told me to let it slide because 'she’s just like that,' but I was done," she noted before adding that her sister now blames her for ruining their relationship over a dress.
"My husband agrees with me, but some family is still p**sed. So AITA?" she asked.
Thankfully, hundreds of Reddit users agreed with the bride's decision including this person who stated: "NTA. Your sister disrespected your clear dress instructions and showed up in a white gown almost identical to a wedding dress. She was trying to steal the spotlight at your wedding. You were right to uphold your boundaries and not let her ruin your day. Ignore the family members who say you should’ve just let it slide. This was your special day, and she didn’t care."
"She threw a tantrum about how I was ruining her day... Excuse me? You were ruining her day?? WTAF??? NTA, and I would go low/no contact with everyone who said you were at fault here. Again, WTAF???" another added.
A third also chimed in writing: "Your sister sounds like a total drama queen. If she can't respect a simple dress code, then she doesn't deserve to be at your wedding. You did the right thing by kicking her out. It's your day, and you get to decide the rules."
