Lady Gets Roasted For Trying To Wear A Red Dress To Her Sister's Wedding Despite Knowing What It Truly Means

"I think this is ridiculous because why would a color dress bring that up"

There are other colors to avoid at a wedding besides white. Certain members of the wedding party are really expected to wear red as a sign of marital wealth in various cultures.

However, red can also mean something very nefarious to some people. Well, wearing a red dress to a wedding is a dead giveaway that you and the groom have had private moments together in the past—or at least, that's what a bride claims.

As they scramble to recall if they have ever worn a red dress to someone's special day—or worse, if anyone has ever worn red—this surprising revelation is bound to cause bewilderment and fear in women everywhere. This new "rule" was made public in an infuriating post on the well-liked Am I The A**hole subreddit.

This is where the previously stated crazy bride angrily berated her sister-in-law for wearing red on their wedding day, claiming that she is "obsessed" with her brother. This must be the post that the OP of today's story saw that made her share her own story.

She is reluctantly attending her sister's wedding soon and plans on wearing a red dress. The dress is not long; it's knee-length, and she's wearing some champagne-sparkling heels with them.

The OP didn't have a problem with it until she saw a Reddit post that made her question the color of the outfit.

And here we have the headline

The OP doesn't even think her sister knows or cares that she's coming

OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the a**hole:

1. Wearing a red dress to a wedding
2. There is apparently a "red dress rule" that means that you slept with the groom.

I'm honestly just trying to see if this is a real thing because I've never heard of it.

And the comments roll in...

The OP wants to make a scene at the wedding

The OP should grow up

Why is the OP asking?

The OP reveals further information in the comments:

Me and her husband smoke together often and have a good relationship but he's just not my type of guy. I've NEVER been jealous of my sister she's been my constant example of what not to do my whole life. Our mom used to say "don't be like your sister " so much It nearly became a catchphrase.

The red dress was something I heard from a different post months ago and when my mom asked me what I was wearing and she'd just bought me the new dress it seemed hilarious to me. I just didn't know if it was common knowledge.

Wearing a white ball gown

The OP doesn't like her

Hoping to stir up crap

The OP should lose her sister's number

Living rent free in someone's mind

The OP should just stay home

Apparently, many Redditors have heard that rule mentioned previously. And while the color has certain common connotations like love, lust, violence, it is as a striking color and would move eyes to the person rather than on the couple on a day dedicated to them.

Not a huge deal, but many Redditors made it obvious that the OP is just doing this to hurt her sister, therefore this is a major AH move.
