What I can wear to a wedding

joeys_wife · February 2010

Hi ladies. My ex friend and I are both getting married in May. I was wondering if I can wear an Ivory dress to her wedding? She's wearing white so its not ivory. Is it rude (can I add that I dislike her)?

JessAndTrav · February 2010

I don't think you should go to a wedding of a person that you dislike.

tlv204 · February 2010

If she's not your friend any more, why are you going to her wedding?

And no, it's rude to wear ivory IMO unless it's so dark ivory that it's more like beige. Plus the fact that you dont' like her clearly indicates you're doing it out of spite, which is just ridiculous and petty.

ZRex · February 2010

I wouldn't really worry about her as I would about the dirty looks you might get from the rest of the guests. Probably not worth it.

beatlesgirl25 · February 2010

This just sounds like a bad idea all around. If you're looking for subtle (or not-so-subtle) ways to stick it to your "ex-friend" on her wedding day, you're in the wrong place. Sorry.

sarabear23 · February 2010

You're acting like a child. To wear an ivory dress to her wedding because you dont like her is petty and stupid. I dont understand why youre going if she is you "ex friend'.

Grow up.

tidetravel · February 2010

Only if you want to be a spiteful bitch and make yourself look like an ass while you are at it.

Better idea: just don't go

danieliza1127 · February 2010

Don't go to the wedding.

If you do go, don't wear white/ivory or any variation. It will just make you look bad.

joeys_wife · February 2010

Unfortunately, she's marrying my FH's brother. So I have to go....Wahhhhh! I know it sounds immature but SHE'S A COPYCAT! She was getting married on Halloween and when she heard my wedding date (originally May 29th) she immediately send out her STD's with my date on It! Biznitch!

I think this was a good answer and thought you should read it again.

sarabear23 · February 2010

Tide's answer is by FAR the best one.

TurtlesAllTheWayDown · February 2010

Nope, don't wear anything even close to white. Other people will think poorly of you, not just the bride.

tlv204 · February 2010

This could be fun. Too bad I really should stop eating M & Ms and go work out. I'll check in later.

laurenclaire1386 · February 2010

Yeah, that's really rude. Why would you want to do this? Do you really think you'll be upstaging her in any sort of way? If you don't like her, then just don't go. WTF?

jic.

joeys_wife · February 2010

Damn ladies... I was really asking whether it was rude or not because I wanted to know. I'm not sure about wedding etiquette... I was just adding that I didn't like her. You dont have to all jump down my throat.

Bunch of tw@ts! lol

laurenclaire1386 · February 2010

Just saw your response. Seriously, you and this ex friend of yours have the same ILs. Do you really think your FMIL is going to look kindly on you for being a huge biitch at her other son's wedding?

Okay great, so then you read our responses and everyone is saying yes it's rude and wrong, don't do it. Why are WE the twats?

tidetravel · February 2010

Pssst... If you're going to try to be a troll, at least start with a new screen name

Nebb · February 2010

I think if you hate her so much you should just egg her house, especially now because the eggs will just freeze. Her wedding is not the time or the place to be an immature baby.

laurenclaire1386 · February 2010

You're the one wanting to upstage your FSIL at her own wedding and you're calling us twats? You gotta be fucking kidding me.

tlv204 · February 2010

I think this troll may be channeling Bride Wars.

I really do need to go work out now. Srsly.

MeaghanandMichael · February 2010

This usually isn't used in reverse, buttt - I seriously pity your future husband. You are a raging brat.

JessAndTrav · February 2010

Yes, we're twats because we didn't validate your childish behavior.

The adult-choice is always the twat thing to do, duh.

Seriously, grow up. Even if what you say here about her is true, which is highly suspect, stooping to her level just makes you look like an ass. However, since I'm sure you're just trying to paint her in a terrible light, go ahead and wear the ivory dress. I'm sure everyone already knows how big of an ass you are.

georgia_bride09 · February 2010

Bless your heart.

Lyss5782 · February 2010

I will add that you are a wonderful role model to your four children

beatlesgirl25 · February 2010

Am I the only one who's confused about this whole shared wedding date thing? If you have the same wedding date, how is it that you are worried about going to her wedding? In which case, I change my answer to yes, it's okay to wear white/ivory that day since you'll be at your OWN wedding.

FutureMrsTR · February 2010

You can't be serious.

TurtlesAllTheWayDown · February 2010

You know nothing about etiquette? You know enough that it would be offensive to wear white to a wedding and yet you ask if you can do it anyway, because you don't like the bride and want to be petty?
