My friend the bride kicked off as I ‘wore my wedding dress’ to her big day, hear me out, it’s not as bad as it sounds

DRESS drama quickly became a dress disaster for one wedding guest.

Her friend, the bride, kicked off because she wore her old wedding dress.

But before anyone judged her or jumped to the wrong conclusions, she pleaded for people to hear her out.

Read on, she begged because it wasn't as bad as it sounded.

She posted her ordeal on Reddit and asked the question: "Am I the a**hole for wearing my wedding dress to someone else's wedding?

Redditors can be relied upon to give their honest opinions and in her appeal, they gave her universal support.

She gave some background to her post: "I married my husband two years ago.

"We aren’t rich and don’t care that much about weddings, so I wore my prom dress to my wedding," she explained.

There was one vital detail that separated her gown from other conventional models.

"It’s basically a long sequin dress in deep dark blue with one sleeve."

The bride was at her wedding and had already seen this particular gown.

"Since my wedding, I have worn it on a few occasions because it’s the only fancy dress I own," she was at pains to point out.

So far so reasonable, but then she decided to wear it to Ciara's big day and that's when things started to get nasty.

The wedding color scheme was dark blue so she figured wearing her dress would be perfectly fine.

"It’s not white and not even remotely close to a wedding dress. I also didn’t feel like wasting money on another fancy dress I wouldn’t ever wear again," she said.

Other wedding guests wore far more elaborate dresses than hers, but when Ciara saw hers, she "lost it."

It was a pretty embarrassing spectacle and likely to be a wedding few would forget.

"She yelled at me in front of all the guests, in front of her husband and my husband, saying that what I did was horrible and that no one shows up at a wedding in a wedding dress," she wrote.

"I tried to reason with her, saying that the dress isn’t a wedding dress, it’s the only fancy piece of clothing I own, I wore it to multiple occasions before and after my wedding."

But this ballistic bride was in no mood to listen: "She kept yelling at me to the point her bridesmaids and her husband started trying to calm her down."

Feeling so distraught by the upset, she and her husband decided to leave.

But it was far from over and she started getting texts from Ciara loaded with accusations.

"She blamed me for upstaging her on her wedding day, for driving a wedge between her and her husband since he said that she overreacted massively and upset her friend over a dress."

Wisely, she chose a path of least resistance in this fight, but she still worried about her decision to wear her dress to this wedding.

"I decided to ignore them because I think she was being unreasonable," she said.

"But a part of me thinks that I was an a**hole because I wore the dress to my wedding."

Commenters rounded on Ciara and offered full support to her friend.

This person said she was not the AH: "It was absolutely okay to wear that dress and she ruined her own wedding as well as shouting at you for no reason. She sounds like she'd be a nightmare to live with."

This Redditor had some perspective: "Had the bride not been at your wedding, she would never have known it was a wedding dress. I hope things can be mended with your friend."

This person said the bride was out of order: "Ciara manufactured a conflict where no one would have even been the wiser.

"You didn’t drive a wedge between her and her husband, she did by acting ridiculously. She needs to get a grip."

This commenter agreed: "It’s clearly not a wedding dress and nobody there will have thought it was. She’s just annoyed that you wore your wedding dress."

She continued: "It speaks to the sort of person she is that she decided to blow up her wedding over it. It’s that extreme a reaction it feels like she was just waiting for something she could lose her sh*t over."

Most Redditors thought the bride was the AH: "She made a fool out of herself, you didn’t do anything wrong in my opinion. The only rule at a wedding is that you don’t wear white."

And some common sense from this person: "She could have asked you ahead of time to wear something else but instead she chose to make a massive scene. A friend doesn’t do that."
