It's "just a dress" and she is "from a different time."

One of the oldest fashion taboos is wearing white to a wedding, but are things changing? Attendees have kept away from wearing white at all costs for as long as brides and happy couples have worn it.

Wearing white to a wedding is generally frowned upon or seen as gaudy; after all, the last thing you want to do as a guest is to upstage the happy couple! Think about this: the subject of who is getting married should never come up.

But then, you run the risk of confusing the other guests by wearing white or, even worse, stealing the bride's thunder! But if you're in doubt, it's always advised to play safe.

It's also advisable to avoid wearing white at the wedding if the couple hasn't explicitly stated that you can. The original poster of today's story is engaged to her fiance.

OP's wedding is around the corner, and her aunt has started shopping for her teenage daughter's dress. OP's wedding is going to be like a lilac-white theme, so when the aunt asked what color would be best, the OP told her that lilac would be nice.

But guess who came back with a long line of white dresses for the OP to pick from? You got that right!

She asked the OP to make an exception for her daughter to wear white. The OP apologized while saying that she'd be happier if they picked a different color.

It got to the point where the OP had to uninvite her aunt, and you can read the full story below.

And here's the headline

OP's aunt sent her a few dresses they picked out and they were all beautiful, but white

It's already "untraditional," and there's nothing wrong with another woman wearing a white dress

OP's aunt cried and screamed how dare she gets uninvited and it's unfair her daughter still gets to go

OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the AH:

I uninvited my aunt because of what she said and the dress, but her daughter is still invited. maybe i shouldn't have done that, because in the end she would most likely not wear a white dress.

The Reddit post got hundreds of comments and here are a bunch of them for you to read through below

OP's niece never intended to wear white

Best wishes for a beautiful wedding and a happy life

This is not an example of defending a historical figure

The OP is not the AH and neither is the niece

This Redditor hopes OP's wedding goes exactly as she planned it

This is less about the dress

Macy didn't have to suffer under her mom

White is usually off-limits to non-marital couples; it is the color of bridal gowns. Wearing anything that matches the color white on her wedding day could accidentally draw attention away from the bride, as it is customary in Western society for her to wear all white.

Redditors agreed with the OP's action, and she was declared not the AH. Leave your own verdict in the comments section below and share this post as well.
