The median age for marriage in the USis approximately30.5 years for men and 28.6 years for women. So it’s no surprise that when Reddit userKimberlyn008and her friends were finishing up their twenties, the group found themselves in the midst of wedding season, a time filled with joy, love, and—of course—a bit of drama. In a post onr/CharlotteDobreYouTube, the woman revealed that everything culminated after one of the brides arrived at another one’s ceremony wearing a white dress—a major no-no in wedding etiquette.

Generally, it’s inappropriate for guests to wear white to a wedding
“White is traditionally saved for the bride so as to not upstage or draw attention to anyone else on her special day,” Diane Gottsman, a well-respected etiquette expert and founder ofthe Protocol School of Texas, a company specializing in adult corporate and social etiquette training, toldBored Panda.
“It’s better to stay completely away from the color white,” Gottsman added. “It’s not worth taking the risk of offending the bride, and there will be plenty of opportunities for you to wear white on other occasions. Just not the wedding.”
When you’re a guest, the most important thing to keep in mind is not to upset the couple, so be careful about wearing cream or ivory outfits as well.
Furthermore, this rule isn’t exclusive to women. “Men should also refrain, simply because it’s the bride and groom’s day and wearing white takes attention away from them,” Gottsman, who also wrote the bookModern Etiquette for a Better Life, said.
Women might get away with a knee-length gown that includes white elements as part of a larger pattern. “If there is a tiny hint of white in the background of the pattern, it’s fine but nothing that is overly apparent,” Gottsman said.
But from what we can gather, it sounds like Taylor wasn’t interested in any of that and didn’t care about making a scene. And when the author of the postuploaded a pictureof the dress in question, at least to my untrained eye, it did look very white. Plus, the fact that Taylor was very angry at Sarah when she showed up to her wedding in the same dress kind of proves that it was a malicious choice.
