'I wore my own wedding dress to my friend's wedding and she won't forgive me'
A woman has told how her dress choice for her friend’s wedding led to a less than favourable outcome on The Big Day, with the friendship in ruins as a result.
With the 20-year-old setting the scene by saying she wore the dress to her own wedding day two years ago, she was keen to highlight it wasn’t a traditional wedding dress but a prom dress instead: “We aren’t rich and don’t care that much about weddings,” she said, before adding: “It’s not a super fancy dress or anything, it’s basically a long sequin dress in deep dark blue with one sleeve.
"My friend Ciara was attending my wedding. Since the wedding, I wore it on a few occasions because it’s basically the only one fancy dress I own.” After receiving an invite to Ciara’s wedding two years later, she decided to wear the dress after learning the colour scheme was dark blue.
She went on: “She requested fancy attire, so I thought my dark blue dress would be fine. It’s not white and it’s not even remotely close to a wedding dress. I also didn’t feel like wasting money on another fancy dress that I wouldn’t ever wear again, especially since we aren’t rich."
However, after turning up at her friend’s wedding, she was shocked to be on the receiving end of the bride-to-be's anger: “It wasn’t standing out or anything, most of the guests were wearing even more fancier dresses. However, when Ciara saw me, she lost it.”

She then described how her friend started shouting at her in front of the of bridal party: “She was saying that what I did was horrible and that no one shows up at a wedding in a wedding dress. 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.
"She didn’t listen and kept yelling at me to the point her bridesmaids and her husband started trying to calm her down. She also said a bunch of unsavoury names to me." After becoming upset at the situation she decided to leave with her husband, however, the dress drama didn’t end there, with her friend texting her after the event, blaming her for upstaging her on her wedding day.
“She accused me of driving a wedge between her and her husband since he said that she overreacted massively and upset her friend over a dress. I decided to ignore them because I think she is being unreasonable, but a part of me thinks that I was an wrong because I wore the dress to my own wedding.”
After posting her story on Reddit to see what others thought of the dress debacle, she was happy to hear that most people were on her side. “It’s not a wedding dress and Ciara manufactured a conflict where no one would have been any the wiser. You didn’t drive a wedge between her and her husband, she did by acting ridiculously.”
Another agreed, saying: “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. Maybe it speaks to the sort of person she is that she thought you were doing it to try and undermine her wedding day.”
One reader told her to take comfort in the knowledge she had ruined her own wedding day: “The only thing anyone is going to remember about her wedding now, forever, is that she had a gigantic meltdown over a dress and acted an ass. That's on her. Your 'friend' showed you who she is. Believe her.”
