The guest explained that the woman claimed to be wearing a 'sage green' dress in line with the dress code of 'pastel chic'.
However, the bride was visibly upset, especially after her mother-in-law had previously asked if she could wear white, which was denied.
'The dress code was summer pastel chic, like Easter colours,' the poster explained.

'The girlfriend of the groom's brother wore a sage green (wedding) dress that in no way, shape or form appeared to be sage green, or any other color.
'The veil she's carrying was the flower girl's (her daughter's). This was after the mother-in-law had asked the bride if she could wear a white jumpsuit to the wedding, to which the bride obviously said no.'
5 Reddit post in r/weddingshaming revealing the poor dress choice.

5 The design also appeared obviously bridal, with elegant off-the-shoulder sleeves and a figure-hugging silhouette.
And it wasn't just the color that threw people off.

And to further contradict the woman's 'sage green' claims, her shoes were actually sage green, which look nothing like the color of the dress.

Another dished out the age-old advice: 'To be safe, you should never wear any white dress to a wedding that is not yours.
'That being said, not all white dresses are wedding dresses. This is absolutely a wedding dress.'
Others joked that they thought they were looking at the bride in these photos.

'I was like, 'Cool, so what does the sister-in-law look like?'' quipped one.
'The dress looks like the smell of the colour sage from another room,' laughed another.
'Exactly what I was going to say,' someone else said. 'The poster clearly included pictures of the actual bride for comparison, then forgot to add pictures of the offending sister-in-law … nope'.

To add insult to injury, the SIL also ended up walking down the aisle in her bridal look.

'The flower girl is her daughter, but as a cherry on top: the daughter was also the ring bearer and was too nervous to walk down the aisle so guess who walked down with her? Mommy dearest,' the poster added.

'Honestly yes, so many pastels photograph white or look white under some lighting,' another pointed out.

And someone else revealed they had been caught out by a similar theme.
'I wore a bright yellow floaty pleated dress with a belt to a friend's wedding. It was so clearly bright yellow, I thought it was a safe choice. Nope!' they wrote.
While the dress code might be partly to blame, it's clear that most people in the comments agree that the SIL's dress was a poor choice.

Fans buzzing after ‘Breaking Bad' creator shares teaser for new Apple TV+ show – with countdown ending Friday

But it looks like the popular show's creator Vince Gilligan — who's also behind 'Better Caul Saul' — was instead teasing a preview of his new Apple TV Plus show, with working title 'Wycaro 339,' a sci-fi series. On social media this week, fans were speculating after the 'Breaking Bad' X account shared a quick trailer. Happiness is contagious.

A similar themed countdown is on YouTube for Apple TV , with the theme 'Happiness is Contagious.' A time clock is counting down to Friday, July 25, at 3 p.m. – with some fans are speculating that's when a trailer will drop for the new show. From the Creator of Breaking Bad. 'It's possibly an adaptation of the book 'All Better Now' of Neal Shusterman,' @AnKo96X said in a Reddit post . 'A deadly and unprecedented virus is spreading. But those who survive it experience long-term effects no one has ever seen before: utter contentment. Soon after infection, people find the stress, depression, greed, and other negative feelings that used to weigh them down are gone.' 'He just makes such great television! My best times watching TV was live watching of 'Breaking Bad' and then 'Better Call Saul.' I need a new show that delivers and continues to deliver.

STAR WARS Fans Are Theorizing That Krennic Was in the Original Trilogy All Along... Kinda — GeekTyrant
Leave it to Star Wars fans to find meaning in an empty chair. A new fan theory making the rounds suggests that Rogue One villain Director Orson Krennic may have been quietly in the original trilogy this whole time. The theory hinges on a single shot from 1977's A New Hope , specifically during the infamous Death Star conference room scene where Vader force-chokes Admiral Motti and asserts his dominance over the room. One thing that stands out is an unoccupied seat at the table. On April 29, Reddit user OkuroIshimoto posted a still of the scene to the Star Wars subreddit with the caption: 'Hearing a lot of headcanons that this seat was Krennic's. Any other theories?' It didn't take long for the comments to roll in. One user responded: 'I could be wrong, but I think I remember one of the From a Certain Point of View stories describing how Admiral Motti (or Tagge) glanced over at Krennic's empty seat in the briefing. Presumably, the author of that short story intended for this empty seat to be the one they meant.' Another chimed in to confirm: 'God damn, yes, this should be the top comment lmao. It isn't a fan theory, it's confirmed in a canon book as being his seat. It was Tagge though that looked over at Krennic's empty seat.' Some fans embraced the idea instantly. 'I like the headcanon that it was for Krennic! Never thought of that but it makes sense. He died the day before, right??' 'I'd never heard this before, but I like it. RIP Krennic. Perhaps when there's ever a 'Very Special Edition' there will be a black band draped over the chair in memory of the fallen director.' Others were more skeptical, arguing the empty chair was likely a practical decision made by the crew while blocking the scene. One user joked: 'Honestly, yeah, the visual of Vader just sitting in a chair with a bunch of rank-and-file guys really doesn't work. He only looks intimidating if he's standing up and striding around with his cloak swooshing behind him.' Still, there's some interesting connective tissue here. In canon, the Death Star briefing takes place not long after the events of Rogue One , which ends with the Battle of Scarif and the destruction of Krennic along with much of the Empire's project leadership. It's not a stretch to imagine that the seat was originally his. And now that Ben Mendelsohn has returned as Krennic in Andor Season 2 on Disney+, fans are once again appreciating just how integral and underrated his role is in the saga. Even if it's just a chair, the idea that Krennic's presence lingers in A New Hope adds another layer to the Empire's crumbling bureaucracy, and to his legacy as the man who built the Death Star, only to be destroyed by it. So was that empty seat his? Canon might suggest yes. But even if it wasn't, Star Wars fans have never needed much to keep a theory alive. Just give them an empty chair.

Hulk Hogan Dies at Age 71. Wrestling Icon's Court Battle Highlighted Need for Digital Privacy
Hulk Hogan died today, reportedly of cardiac arrest, at age 71 in Clearwater, Fla. Born Terry Bollea, Hogan was a star wrestler in a do-rag—a six-foot-seven-inch, 302-pound powerhouse in his prime with a gift for showmanship and an affinity for tearing his shirt off before matches. But he was also a common target of digital manipulation, exploitation and online hoaxes, spurring him to champion privacy rights in the digital age. For those who have followed Hogan's life closely, this isn't the first time his death has been announced. According to the Internet, he died in 2014 and did so again in 2015 —both times by gunshot—and then passed away yet again in 2024. (The latter claim appeared on a Reddit subreddit dedicated to lies, though some people took it seriously.) Even in the months leading up to his actual death, online rumors claimed that he was on his deathbed or had died. And during that decade of hoaxes—long after the height of his wrestling career—his image was used countless times for digital manipulations. Photographs of Hogan flexing the biceps that he called '24-inch pythons' were often edited to swap out his face, with its iconic horseshoe mustache, and replace it with the face of one of the many people who wanted to be seen inhabiting his body—or with the face of someone else whom others wanted to see on it for their own reasons. But while Hogan couldn't prevent the seemingly endless digital manipulations, he became a landmark figure of the digital era for his efforts to defend his right to privacy. Years before 'deepfake' was a household word and artificial intelligence systems could allow anyone to puppeteer the image of a legend, Hogan found himself naked—literally—before the Web. In 2012 Gawker, a digital media company known for gossip scoops, acquired a 2006 sex tape involving Hogan (which he asserted had not been filmed with his knowledge or consent) and posted an excerpt online. Hogan sued, and a jury awarded him a total of $140 million in damages, though he settled for $31 million. Behind the scenes of what looked like a tabloid circus was a proxy battle between tech moguls. Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel, who had been outed as gay by Gawker years before, funded Hogan's lawsuit. The case, which bankrupted Gawker, would become a major test for First Amendment rights in a time when clicks were increasingly becoming currency and online privacy had few protections.

Though Hogan's final headline won't stop the next hoax video or cloned voice, his life—and the ways it was constantly remixed, misreported and monetized—illustrate how the fight over a single leaked tape previewed the question of individual privacy rights in a world where manipulating pixels has become almost effortless. The years to come will no doubt see Hogan's image in AI-generated content, and legal cases around digital privacy issues promise to become only more complicated.
