A lady I work with wants to wear a white dress to a wedding in a couple of weeks. I told her you're not supposed wear white?

[Anonymous]

She said that's not a thing anymore.

Do you agree or disagree?

Not a thing? Since when? When you wear white on a wedding day, it's usually the bride's day. Because white will capture someone's eyes easily... so having a white dress when the bride is supposed to be in white... is asking to drop a whole bucket of pissed tf off people.

I agree, she said that's not a taboo anymore. I said I wouldn't do it. I mean regardless it's your day, it's hers even if you really like the dress. You don't do anything that detracts frome the bride.

Isn't your day*

That sounds like what a narcissist would say, it doesn't matter if it's not a taboo anymore. She was invited to a wedding and she be respectful regardless of whatever is the popular opinion or not.

Well I know women like to look good and I can understanding wanting to be presentable. And maybe she thinks that is her best dress. She showed me a Pic of it and that's when I said "you can't wear a white dres" and she said "why not" and I told her only the bride is supposed to wear white and that's when she said that's not really a thing anymore. That's no longer taboo. And that's when I said Times may have changed but but being respectful hasn't. And then she just kind of rolled her eyes and looked at me like I was old.🤣
And I'm like I wouldn't do it. Even if no one says anything it's disrespectful.
I don't think she's narcissistic. At least not for a woman. I just think she really likes the dress and wants everyone to see her in it. And I'm like I understand, but this event is NOT the event. 🤣

In our country and in mine religion wearing a white means we are attending a funeral. So you would be kicked out from that wedding

[Guy13]

She should not wear white. It will be a bad day for her.

[watercolor_lions]

It is totally a thing... Tell her it is a thing...

That is so rude and disrespectful!

If I see anyone wearing a white dress at my wedding, I'll fire her.

I would not stand too close to her in the church in case lightning strikes.

Rules like that don't really exist anymore. However I wouldn't wear a red dress to a funeral. Just don't upstage the bride.

This is true. You don't do that its basic etiquette unless you know 100% the bride won't be in white.

[Midgetmcwidget]

It's a thing and she shouldn't be invited.

[Dinklex3]

What did the bride say?

[PurpleIce22]

It's all cultural I think
