'I wore fancy dress to my friends wedding - I have a legitimate reason'
There are so many horror stories about people wearing inappropriate outfits to their friends' weddings, and sometimes it's clear to see why the bride would've been furious or felt upstaged on her special day.
Some serious confusion occurred, however, when a man turned up to what he thought was his friend's engagement party in fancy dress - but it was actually the wedding.
The man was horrified when he realised, and offered to go home, but when the groom said it didn't matter, he thought things were okay. He later took to Reddit's 'Am I the a**hole' forum to ask whether he'd done anything wrong as he'd been blocked by the happy couple.
He wrote: "So my friend 20f and I 19m have been friends for a few years and she recently got engaged.
"A week ago I got a dm from her for a small costume party she was hosting as a celebration of her getting engaged. I asked if there was a theme and she said there wasn't. I'm a cosplayer so I had a lot of choices.

"I didn't want to rock up in anime cosplay, so I thought it would be funny to go to an engagement party as the Corpse Bride. I arrived at her house yesterday and everything seemed normal. A few people complimented my costume and I was having a lot of fun.
"After ten minutes my friend's fiancé walked out in a black tuxedo and announced this was actually their wedding. Apparently, my friend saw a video of someone doing this and wanted to do the same.
"He asked us all to go to the backyard for the ceremony to begin. I went straight to him. I asked him if I should quickly go home and change my outfit and that I would get back before it started. He told me it was fine since I didn’t know this was the wedding."
But it turns out that this wasn't entirely true, as they got married and 'everything seemed good', until his friend 'kept making excuses' not to talk to him.
He continued: "I assumed it was just because she was tired from the big day and wanted some alone time. I didn't bother her after that and the party soon ended.
"I got home and half an hour passed when my phone started getting notifications. I checked and it was my friend texting me. She was cussing me out and telling me how I ruined her wedding. I was really confused and asked what I did.
"That only made her more angry. She told me it was basic knowledge not to wear a wedding dress to a wedding. I reminded her I had no idea it was a wedding and that I asked her now husband if I should change and he said it was fine.
"She didn't respond, but I got a text from her husband. He asked why I would tell her he said it was fine. I told him he said it was fine. Then he said how I should have changed anyways and it's my fault that the two are now fighting over this.
"I've tried texting her that I was sorry and if I had known I wouldn't have done it. I woke up today and saw that she and her husband have blocked me on everything.

"So, am I the a**hole for not changing out of the wedding dress when I found out it was actually a wedding?"
People in the comments were baffled at the behaviour of the newlyweds, saying they were the ones in the wrong for springing a surprise wedding on people when they'd specifically requested people come in fancy dress.
One wrote: "The facts of this are pretty simple.
You were told this is a costume party so you wore a costume.
When asked about a theme you were not given any restrictions.
They sprung a surprise wedding on you.
Once you realized this you asked the groom if you should go home and change and the groom said no.
"They had multiple chances to get you to change and they didn't take any of them so getting mad with you after the fact doesn't make any sense."
Another fumed: "Not the a**hole. You were invited to a costume party and wore a costume."
"What did she expect?", someone asked. "She wanted a surprise wedding. So she shouldn't be surprised that people weren't wearing wedding-appropriate clothes. It's her fault, sorry. But she couldn't have both.
"Not your fault and you even asked before. So definitely not the a**hole."
