One of the biggest rules when it comes to dressing up for a Wedding is not to wear white, as people often see that as you trying to upstage or take attention away from the bride.

One woman wore a black pantsuit to her brother’s wedding with a white Blouse underneath, but the hint of white was enough to set the bride off.

She and her brother don’t have the strongest relationship as they live in two different countries. Recently, she flew in to see him for his wedding day. While she didn’t know her future sister-in-law very well, there was no bad blood, and she figured she would have a good time at the wedding.

The wedding invitations came with instructions not to wear indigo or white dresses or red velvet suits, as those were the colors being worn by the wedding party. The only other request was to dress in “fancy” attire.

Since she’s not a fan of dresses, she likes to wear pantsuits for special occasions.

“For my own wedding, I wore a very nice white pantsuit,” she explained.

“For this occasion, I chose a normal black suit, vest, and suit jacket [with a ] white blouse, black heels, slick hair, [and] some toned down makeup. No tie, but a nice necklace. I looked good but in no way bridal or upstage-y. And to be honest, most men had the same outfit on.”

She felt very confident in her outfit for her brother’s wedding and thought she was not breaking any rules. After the ceremony, things were going well until the food was served at the reception.

She noticed the bridesmaids acting sketchy around her, as they’d purposefully try and bump into her throughout the venue.

Then, things went wrong when she spilled something on her vest and had to take it off, revealing her white blouse.

“The bride’s family and friends started to be more hostile with me, culminating in the bridesmaid dumping red wine on me,” she recalled.

“I was mad, but I pretended like it was a genuine mistake and didn’t say anything.”

She eventually figured out that everyone was mad at her for wearing a white blouse with her suit. After the wedding, her brother called her three different times, in which he told her she had ruined his wedding and that she was dead to him until she apologized to his wife.

Then, her brother emailed her and told her the only way she could make things right was to pay for her sister-in-law’s wedding dress.

Thankfully, her husband and mother are on her side and are appalled by her brother’s behavior, but other relatives, like her dad, believe she was wrong to wear any bit of white to the wedding.

Was she wrong to wear a white shirt to the wedding, or was her sister-in-law overreacting?
