Aunt who wore floor-length white gown to niece's wedding hits back as she claims critics hate her because she's ‘pretty'
Read on for other outfits not to wear as a wedding guest AISLE SAY Aunt who wore floor-length white gown to niece's wedding hits back as she claims critics hate her because she's 'pretty' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A WEDDING guest has been slammed after people confused her with the bride. The woman, from the US, turned up to her niece's wedding wearing a crystal floor-length white gown and hit back at critics for her inappropriate attire. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Can you spot who the bride is? Credit: Reddit 2 The aunt hit back at critics who bashed her wedding guest outfit Credit: Reddit While many of us know you can't wear white to a wedding, it seemed this aunt didn't get the memo. In a picture shared on the Reddit forum, Wedding Shaming, she stood next to the bride who wore a short white dress on her big day. The aunt posed for a picture wearing the floor-length gown which was finished with a mesh train and she wore pearl jewellery. People were left wondering who the bride was at first, as the aunt's dress looked much more flamboyant than the bride's effortless look. When they realised who was who, people were stunned the aunt would turn up in such an outfit. But the aunt was quick to take to Facebook and hit back at the critics for her lavish dress, implying the haters were just mad because she was pretty Her Facebook post read: "No one hates you more than the women who can't compete with you. "They watch your every move, talk nonstop-because if they talked about themselves, no one would listen. "Let them bark from behind. Real queens don't tear each other mistresses do. Let's shine babe, keep being pretty." Over on Reddit, people were not impressed with her statement. Couple paid thousands of dollars and flew 14 hours for a wedding - until they realized they weren't invited People were quick to claim she had 'no class' and was 'rude' for wearing the bride-like dress. One person wrote: "That's a gorgeous dress but I thought she was the bride." Another commented: "Whyyyyy would anybody wear a dress with a train to someone else's wedding? Incredibly rude." "The train takes away all benefit of the doubt... this lady is showing no class," penned a third. Wedding Guest Outfit Etiquette If you're struggling to decided on a dress to see you through wedding season, here's a few rules on what not to wear so you don't get in trouble. Folklore says that wearing red at a wedding means you slept with the groom. Casual attire like jeans and flip flops should always be avoided. Any colour that could be picked up as white or cream - even if it's not. Most would agree that your cleavage needs to be covered. Wearing white is a massive no-no if you're not the bride. Meanwhile a fourth said: "I think she's intentionally spent more money than the bride too. This seems to be not only upstaging the bride but also 'I've got more money than you paupers.'" "Wait... That's NOT the bride?' claimed a fifth Someone else added: "The one in the short white dress is the bride? LOL, I thought there were two guests with attire issues."
