I got kicked out of a wedding because of my ‘inappropriate' outfit… people say the ‘horrid' bride got married ‘for show'
The mum-of-two, who is from the US and is a Korean language student, explained that not long after arriving at the nuptials, she was confronted by the bride about the colour of her dress.

Fuming with the situation, Elisé Brown acknowledged that when talking to the bride, she was told there was a 'dress code' which her colourful frock didn't meet.
Eager to alert others to the awkward ordeal, posting on social media, the content creator uploaded a clip with the caption 'Got kicked out of a wedding reception for being out of a dress code I didn't know existed!'
As she filmed herself sitting in her car, the nurse said: 'So I am currently sitting in my car because I came two hours to a wedding for one of my husband's friends and we have been here a total of 15 minutes, and the bride comes up to me and tells me that my outfit is ' inappropriate ' for her wedding.
'There was a supposed dress code that I didn't know existed because I never got a wedding invitation mailed to my house - it was a text message that my husband received.'
With intentions to celebrate the couple saying 'I Do' in style, Elisé wore a colourful dress containing dark blue, light blue, pale pink and white.
But the irritated woman later confirmed that since leaving the wedding, she was informed that the dress code was 'navy, yellow, maroon or grey.'
Elisé acknowledged that she had never met the bride prior to the big day, but did know the groom, as he had been friends with her husband for 20 years.
She later confirmed that the bride didn't bother to greet her or formally introduce herself prior to their conversation, but was clearly not impressed with her outfit choice.
After the embarrassing conversation with the 'rude' bride, Elisé 'walked out' of the wedding and headed back to her car.
Clearly fuming, Elisé added: 'But in 2025, is this what brides do to their guests now? You walk up to your guests and tell them that the outfit they're wearing is not appropriate for their wedding?'
I'm 5ft3 & a size 12-14 - my 7 Tesco dresses are an absolute bargain & perfect for a last-minute wedding guest outfit
Stunned by the situation, the shocked mother then shared: 'I didn't know that was a thing. I mean, I've been married for 11 years.
'This is what we do to our guests? I'm kind of disappointed and I'm really ready to go home.'
Social media users react
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ ebrown_rn, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly gone viral and racked up 2.7 million views, 106,300 likes and 8,462 comments.
But social media users were gobsmacked by the situation and many hailed the bride as 'horrid' and claimed she only got married 'for show.'
One person said: 'That ain't a wedding, that's a funeral of a friendship.'
Another added: 'I think dress codes at weddings are horrid. Weddings have gotten out of control.'
A third commented: 'If a bride is roaming around and taking time to be rude to guests, she's got issues that you don't need to think about twice.'
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.
At the same time, someone else wrote: 'Apparently she got married for show, so that will last long and happy.'
Not only this, but one user was gobsmacked and questioned: 'What??? You look fantastic!!! That's crazy!'
Whilst another user sighed: 'That's very rude. I'm sorry that happened to you.'
Meanwhile, one woman asked: 'And did you take your gift back with you?'
To this, the woman confirmed: 'I didn't; it was only a $25 gift card. I literally walked out so quickly after her comment. I was HEATED.'

Mabel marries fiancé Preye Crooks after splashing out on an incredible London venue with 150 guests including celebrity attendees
Mabel has married her fiancé Preye Crooks in a London ceremony over the weekend. The singer, 29, tied the knot with the music executive after spending five figures on hiring the ictoria and Albert Museum in Chelsea to host 150 guests. According to the Sun, guests including Miquita Oliver and her mother Andi partied the night away drinking drinking champagne and margaritas. An insider told the publication: 'It was quite an intimate affair initially — they had a nice dinner with their closest friends and family to kick things off. 'Then more of their loved ones turned up to celebrate with them in style later in the evening. They all had a brilliant time and Mabel and Preye looked so in love.' The venue typically costs around £10,000 to hire for wedding parties. The couple got engaged in November last year. Preye is the son of former Spurs footballer Garth Crooks. After Preye popped the question, she proudly showed off her sparkling diamond ring in a video online. They celebrated with a huge party as the couple were joined by family and friends, with one pal sharing a glimpse of the bash to TikTok. Mabel, who's full name is Mabel Alabama-Pearl McVey, looked sensational in a pink silk gown and couldn't wipe the smile off her face as she showed off her huge diamond ring which was custom-designed at Jewelry Palace - a family owned company in Los Angeles. Meanwhile Preye, who has been dating the singer since 2021, cut a dapper figure as he made a speech to mark the occasion. The couple looked happier than ever as they slow danced surrounded by rose petals and candles while their guests cheered. @feybakare1 Whenever you spoke about her, I knew you really loved her. It was very clear from the start, just how deeply you felt for her. With any and everything you did, you put her first and I learnt a lot from you in that sense and I'm blessed to have seen your relationship blossom and fluorish 😁 To happily ever after for you both 😁💍🖤🤞🏾 ♬ Swimming - Flawed Mangoes In the gushing post their friend Fet Bakare wrote: 'Whenever you spoke about her, I knew you really loved her.

'With any and everything you did, you put her first and I learnt a lot from you in that sense and I'm blessed to have seen your relationship blossom and fluorish, To happily ever after for you both'. Sony music A&R Preye also runs the Strawberries & Creem Festival and is the son of former BBC sports pundit Garth Crooks, 66. Meanwhile Mabel is the daughter of Swedish singer Neneh Cherry, who has released six studio albums; the first of which, Raw Like Sushi, reached number three in the UK Albums chart. She has been nominated for a Grammy Award and has two Brit Awards under her belt - and while her daughter Mabel is certainly catching up to her mother, the young singer hasn't quite reached Neneh's heights yet. Her debut single Finders Keepers, released in 2017, reached number eight on the UK Singles Chart. This was followed up two years later with the release of her album High Expectations at number three in the Albums Chart - which later went platinum. In 2020, just three years after bursting onto the scene, she won a Brit Award for British Female Solo Artist. In 2018, her musician mother Neneh spoke about nurturing her daughter Mabel in the music industry, revealing she is in awe of her. The songstress spoke of the then 21-year-old's success and reflected on motherhood, in an interview with the Evening Standard Magazine admitting she wasn't always 'emotionally accessible'. She said: 'Mabel is unbelievable and so focused and it's hard out there. 'She gets up sometimes and she's doing two or three sessions a day. I'm in awe of her and so I try to support her with basic mum things, like making her a take-out lunch.' Mabel previously insisted she doesn't want her parents' help when it comes to her own music career. 'When I was in my teens, and was like, 'I really want to do music',' she told the publication. I felt quite embarrassed by being my mum and dad's daughter. I thought, 'People will never take me seriously'.'

Eddie Murphy says get-togethers with Martin Lawrence's family are ‘really normal' and not full of jokes
Comedians Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence have become in-laws after Murphy's son Eric married Lawrence's daughter Jasmin in May. Murphy joked that their potential grandchildren might be 'serious' rather than inheriting their comedic genes, despite public speculation. The couple opted for a quiet wedding with just the two of them, foregoing a large ceremony. Murphy and Lawrence have been friends for many years, having starred together in films like Boomerang and Life. Eric and Jasmin were introduced by Jasmin's uncle, not by their famous fathers, despite their fathers' long-standing friendship.

Blackpink review – K-pop queens bring fun to New York with a little fatigue on the side
In 2023, the four women of Blackpink – Jennie, Jisoo, Lisa and Rosé – stood on top of the world. In the seven years since their 2016 debut, the K-pop quartet became the biggest girl group of all time, off the back of delirious hooks, hard-ass stunting, cut-glass choreography and relentless work. With billions of streams, sold-out stadiums and YouTube viewership records in their wake, the group became the female face of the boundary-annihilating force that is K-pop, taking pandemonium and hype as its calling card; with the exception of their slender physiques, everything about the band was huge. Their 2023 headliner set at Coachella – the first Asian and all-female group to headline one of North America's largest music festivals – served as a jet-fueled exclamation point on global domination. I stood in the crowd that night feeling like I'd been leveled by a sonic boom, in the best way. Much has changed in the two short years since then. The band went on unofficial hiatus for each member's respective solo careers, and the four subsequent releases – Jennie's Ruby, Jisoo's Amortage, Lisa's Alter Ego and Rosé's Rosie – all attempted to escape the Blackpink shadow with halting success; the group's two rappers, Lisa and Jennie, also launched English-language acting careers on HBO, in The White Lotus and The Idol, and returned to Coachella as solo acts with plenty of bombast but less horsepower. The once ascendant wave of K-pop, buoyed up by the massive crossover success of Blackpink and all-male peers BTS, stalled out abroad and lost traction at home, global ambition and misfiring albums costing musical identity and momentum. The pop banger remains, however, a universal, enduring language, and at New York's Citi Field on Sunday night, Blackpink flexed their mastery of the genre with a tour of their energy drink-style hits – unabashedly manufactured, relentlessly upbeat, the highs jagged, aggressive and borderline hallucinatory. Just two years after their last world tour, Blackpink is back for what is billed as a reunion, with the band in a precarious if still victorious position; the last North American stop of their Deadline World Tour (is the deadline age? Solo success? Fleeting consumer attention?), at a stadium in one of the largest Asian American communities in the US, is an undeniable celebration, a spectacular if familiar show of force. It's also evidence of the wandering focus of a band now comfortably at the top; despite the alleged urgency of the deadline, the 2.5-hour show is more slack than Blackpink standard, the girls still stunting but no longer out for the kill. (With the exception of Lisa, the group's hardest member by far, who remains lethal, her dancing never less than crisp.) Numerous times during the group's typically maximalist set – three acts and an encore, spliced with two-to-three-song solo diversions for each member – I caught the look of fatigue on their faces. A drop of the elbow here or a slip of the mean mug there, though quickly smothered by the pyrotechnics, army of industrial backup dancers, lasers, general swirl of stadium sound and camera work that largely denied the pleasure of seeing all four in formation, in favor of one or two singers at a time. And fair enough – the New York July night was so oppressively humid that I was dripping in sweat just standing there; after the head-banging bombast of Boombayah, all four were forced to acknowledge the air's palpable resistance to any movement, or as de facto spokesperson Rosé put it: 'It is REALLY hot today.' The goodwill of faithful Blinks – fittingly for the band, a stadium of many languages, diehard adults next to awed children with merch-toting parents in tow – largely covered for any lapses, and was rewarded with high-octane delights. New single Jump, making the girl power lineage explicit – 'So come up with me, I'll take you high / That prima donna, spice up your life' – layered itchy club beat, weapons-grade bass and tweaking choreography with lasers, fireworks and smoke for a full dose of undiluted, undeniable hype that got the crowd up. At their best, the siren call of 'Blackpink in your areaaaaaa' remains as potent as ever. Less so with the solo diversions, each introduced with interludes of overdone music video imagery of the luxe life – Vegas and city lights, diamonds and furs – that underscored their relative lack of precision. Jennie delivered obligatory stunting, Jisoo sensible pop, Rosé surprising ballads – her solo section, in which she went full Taylor Swift mode with the guitar, provided the most western-style pop moments of the show. If the solo sections hammered home one impression, it's that Lisa alone, in her dragon-skin suit and formidable sneer, has the jet fuel for a solo career. Also, that as a unit, the members' combined strengths covered their weaknesses like an airtight shield. It was a palpable relief, then, when they reunited following Rosé's turn for the pure force of breakout track DDU-DU DDU-DU, the wattage re-upped by camaraderie and their view of the finish line. Individually, they are pop artists in a crowded field, each neutralized and overwhelmed by the familiar elements around them. Together, they steamroll. And so it was that Sunday's finale of Like Jennie, in which all four came together to perform a song that Jennie just performed solo, briefly showed the stamp of Blackpink magic: the beat rips, the head-bopping with slick glasses is distinctly Jennie, but nothing hits quite like the four of them moving together.
