One Reddit user took to the site to voice her frustration with a friend of hers who is demanding her guests to stick to the dress code or else they should not bother to attend the wedding at all.
The Reddit user took to the AITA group to share her experience with a bridezilla.
“My friend, who is getting married in a few weeks, sent out invitations with a specific dress code – black tie with a black suit for men and floor-length purple or rose gown for women. I don’t own any floor-length gowns. I asked the bride if it would be okay to wear a knee-length dress with dressy shoes, but she insisted that I follow the dress code or not attend the wedding at all,” she wrote.
“I decided that I didn’t want to spend a lot of money that I don’t have on a dress I would never wear again, and so I politely declined the invitation. I told my friend that I wished her all the best on her special day, but I couldn’t attend due to the dress code.”
The bridezilla got angry and accused her of being selfish and unsupportive.
“She said that I should have made an effort to follow her dress code, as it was important to her to have a certain aesthetic for her wedding,” continues the Reddit user.
