The woman wants to wear her white commitment dress for sister’s wedding

A woman got a controversial question for her wedding: “Can I wear white?”

On one post To Reddits R/Wedding planning forum, a bride described the request that came from her sister, of all people.

The bride’s wedding is in three months, she wrote, and she admitted that she still has not found her own dress for the special day. At the same time, her sister is already weighing her alternatives, and the dress she wore for her own commitment photos is in the mix, wrote the bride.

If it looks white in the pictures, it’s a white dress, the bride said. If it is a color somewhere near white, it’s a white dress, she said. But her sister tries to “aggressively convince” her otherwise.

“Why are you such a stick in the mud? It’s just a dress in one day,” the bride recalled her sister.

“Yep. You have many other beautiful dresses. You have many other events,” she replied. “Why this dress this day?”

Those in the comments sympathized with the bride and say that this should hardly be a question but it is a strange common event. It is a general rule that you do not carry white to a wedding unless you are the one who marries, or unless the couple specifically says it is okay, wrote a user and suggested that the bride would use very similar language to close her sister.

“I don’t understand why people care about asking if they will only be careful when you tell them no!” Another wrote. “They asked for permission, you had every right to turn it off.”

Another commentator noted that “people forget to dress” when it comes to weddings.
