A Reddit user named aitadress recently shared a story about a conflict with his wife, Amy, over what she planned to wear to his cousin's wedding, which is coming up early next year. According to aitadress, Amy had suggested wearing her own wedding dress to the wedding, to which he objected because it was too flashy and elaborate for a guest to wear.

He explained that Jane, the bride-to-be, was not on good terms with Amy. However, Amy claims she wants to wear her wedding dress to the wedding because she does not have time to go shopping, and her dress is not the traditional white, but pink.

Aitadress insisted it wasn't appropriate to wear a wedding dress to someone else's wedding, regardless of the color or style. This disagreement escalated into a heated argument, with Amy accusing aitadress of being controlling and refusing to budge on her decision to wear the dress.

In frustration, aitadress told her she didn't have to attend the wedding if she insisted on wearing the dress. Amy became upset and shared the disagreement with a friend, who also sided with her.

Now, aitadress is wondering if he was wrong for objecting to Amy's choice of attire. He has turned to the "AITA" subreddit for advice and opinions.

Here's how they responded to his post.

What do you think?

While it is understandable to want to look your best, it is crucial to remember that a wedding is a special day for the couple getting married, and the focus should be on them. Taking away attention from the bride can make her feel upset, disappointed, and even hurt.

It is always best to keep your outfit and behavior appropriate, be mindful of the bride and groom's wishes, and celebrate their special day without trying to steal the spotlight. What do you think about OP's situation?
