AITAH if I wear a dress to a wedding that is similar to the bridal parties?
Hi! So a close friend of mine is getting married very soon and I got a dress for her wedding and I got a glimpse of her bridesmaids dress dresses from someone that is in the wedding party and my dress is almost identical to the dresses that the bridal party is wearing. I’m not part of the bridal party whatsoever however, this friend is someone that I’ve grown up with almost my whole life through school so I obviously don’t want to offend her or even bring it up to her before her big day, but I don’t have any time with work and travel to get out dress before the wedding because I also spent a good amount of money on the dress. What should I do? Am I wrong if I wear the dress to the wedding?
UPDATE: just wanted to give a little more context to this situation. This is an African wedding taking place in the UK this upcoming week. I am flying over there and this is for the plain ceremony. The bridal request requested that everyone wears royal blue. I did not know that that was also applying to the dresses she picked for her bridal party. The bride had the dresses made for her bridal party however she took inspiration from a dress from Oh Polly which is a popular dress website that I usually get wedding guest dresses from she added some of her own special details but the base and shape of the dress is essentially the same . The dress is really expensive and I cannot return it I can’t even exchange it because it will not get here in time for the wedding. I am in no way shape or form trying to be selfish right now. I’m just asking a genuine question of if this is a big deal especially in the UK.
Update 2: I called the bride and she said it kinda sucks but she also understands how it could have happened and she didn’t consider that it was a popular look.
