'AITA for wearing a sage green dress to a wedding?' UPDATED

"AITA for wearing a sage green dress to a wedding?"

I recently attended a wedding and now the bride has been accusing me of destroying her big day. I am 17 years old, and the wedding it's from my dad's friend daughter. One of her demands was for girls to be modest, simple color, and makeup. The request was okay to me because it was her event.

The big day came and I wore a satin sage dress, which is beautiful, but still modest, and for the makeup it was just some shimmery eyeshadow with some transparent gloss. During the wedding, the bride's mom suddenly asked to talk to me alone which was weird, since she should've been talking to my dad instead.

She bought me to the bride's dressing room and it was awkward. The bride started to berate me for wearing the dress saying I'm too flashy, I'm stealing her spotlight and gave me the alternative to leave the wedding or wear a black dress that's double my size, and remove my makeup.

I refused, because the outfit the bride wanted me to wear would've been too bothersome for me to be pulling the dress all the time plus my parents would be asking about my original dress.

The bride started crying, and I told my parents everything she demanded, then they got angry at her. Because of it, they said they're not going to give any wedding money to her, which lead to a fight between my dad and his friend. Today the bride sent me hateful messages saying I ruined her wedding. AITA?

Imagine being jealous of a teenager as a fully grown adult on your wedding day...

Clearly this bride isn't as excited about her 'big day' as she made it sound if she's worried that her dad's friend's teenage daughter is 'stealing the spotlight' in perfectly normal wedding attire. Green isn't an off-limits color in the standard rulebook of wedded bliss so if this bride was prepared to throw a fit, she should've sent some memos out first.

Of course, the jury of internet strangers was eager to weigh in on this attire-themed drama. Here's what people had to say:

I had to look up 'sage green' expecting it to be like a super flashy jewel green color.... it's like old lettuce color. How can a color be more simple? I just don't see the problem... sounds like she was just jealous that you looked nice in her proximity. NTA (Not the As*hole)

NTA. If a teenager wearing a nice dress can ruin her wedding, then she DESERVES it to be ruined. What an absolutely bizarre reaction from her. God knows what she was thinking.

NTA. The bridezilla ruined her own wedding.

NTA. The only color you can't wear is white. Bride is just jealous of you and shouldn't be dictating what makeup you should wear and what color to wear.

Later OP posted this update:

Hi, guys! It's a small update, but now everything made sense about the behavior of the bride and I thought it would be good to update here since I got so much love from you all.

Yesterday my father was catching up with his friend who was also at the wedding. This friend is closer to the bride's dad, so he had almost every detail of their lives. With those informations, he told my dad about the groom, relationship and their behavior.

Apparently the groom was married and after a business trip to Brazil, he met the bride. They started to have an affair, than got pregnant. Because of the pregnancy, the bride exposed the affair to the wife causing a divorce, so he had no other choice than marrying her.

The problem is that the groom's family as against their union because is a pregnancy before marriage,.

Since the groom family is a huge believer, the bride and her family decided to appease them by doing a modest and simple wedding showing she's not a gold digger. The thing is because of her tantrum and asking all the girls to remove the makeup because of jealousy thinking we would steal her man, there was LOTS of complains after the wedding.

My dad asked about the black dress and yes, a girl who's a little younger than me wore it just to appease the bride but she was crying so much because of how much that adult shamed her. Obviously it made a really bad impression to the bride's family, and the groom's family had more motive to hate her.

My parents haven't given me an update about them suing her family. I will be making another update post when they tell me more about it.

About 3 weeks later OP posted this update:

Hey guys, yesterday everything got sorted out with the bride and the family.

I didn't included in my post that our family has business together because I thought it was unnecessary, but later this information became useful.

Two nights ago the bride's father called us to discuss business since we are one of his biggest clients. Apparently my dad was so angry that he stopped buying from him and found another company with the same products.

I heard the call and he invited us to eat lunch just to talk about the wedding, business and we suing his daughter. At first we were suspicious about meeting up with him because we weren't sure if he would act out of anger.

Since business is business we decided to have lunch with him. There was only the bride's dad and the mother aka dress police. The bride wasn't present because she was feeling pregnancy sickness, so it was impossible for her to meet people.

I've made an small update about how the bride and the groom got together, but since it is bothersome to explain the whole story, we found out that the bride was the mistress and got pregnant. Because of the baby, the groom was forced to marry her.

The bride's mom was wearing black and tried to hug my mom while crying. That crazy woman was apologizing profusely about how much pain and humiliation she caused us at that "wonderful" day and how much she desires to turn back the clock due to her regret.

Than she started saying that after the wedding, her daughter didn't even had her honeymoon and the husband was a moron because he refuses to spend time with her even tho she's carrying his baby. After this, she added that they would constantly fight and he would say that marrying the bride was the biggest mistake of his life. I think she was saying all of that to make us pity them.

After spilling those informations, she proceeded to order a bottle of wine, than started weeping again lamenting about how much her daughter was suffering. It was pretty embarrassing for everyone, I swear even my phone started to bug due to how cringe it was.

The bride's dad than asked for us to drop the charges against his daughter since she was already suffering enough and how much it would shame the groom. At first my dad refused, but than he made an awesome propose to us.

During his proposal, he gave "presents" to everyone. I received a cartier bracelet with a designed bag and some ysl lipsticks, while my parents got two watches. We were going to refuse all those gifts, than he said the most important part: if we stop pursuing those charges, he will give us 80% of discount in his products which is awesome.

So, now we dropped our charges and everyone is happy again! Thank you for all the support <33 I think that after his whole drama, I will stop using this account.
