My mom’s friend wore a custom-made white gown to my wedding: ‘Clown’

They said yes to the dress.

A bitter bride took to the “Wedding Shaming” Reddit community this week, claiming that her mom’s friend showed up to her wedding in a custom-made, white dress that looked similar to hers.

She posted a photo that shows a bride in a floral, flowing, v-neck wedding dress as she stands next to her groom.

Standing on the other side is a woman also in a floral white dress — but this one has long sleeves and a more modest cut.

Her look was completed with a dramatic red hat, a black Lady Dior bag and peep-toe heels. Everyone’s face is covered by an emoji in the photos shared to Reddit — with the party pooper wearing the poop emoji for the big day.

The newlywed revealed in the comments section of the post that she had specifically asked her guests not to wear white. She added that in her culture, red is also a “frowned-upon” color to don for a wedding.

“This clown did both 😊,” she wrote.

The Redditor also claimed the gauche, unidentified wedding guest “kept gravitating towards the camera,” hamming it up for a photo every chance she got — including with the bride’s parents.

The bride said the woman asked her twice for the photos, but in response, she simply told her that she had not received them.


The woman was met with many people who also found the incident to be shameful.

In the comments section, many users slammed the mom’s friend, with one person labeling her an “overdressed Mormon.”

“Besides the color she didn’t do herself any favors with the style, she looks like an overdressed Mormon,” the commenter wrote. “You on the other hand look stunning.”

Another snarked, “Why does it look like this guest just grabbed random accessories on the way out the door? Nothing matches, and that bag is hideous.”

“That’s straight up a (out of fashion) wedding dress,” someone else typed. “There’s no way she didn’t know what she was doing. I don’t understand what goes through these people’s heads.”

One person chimed in, “She can afford to buy a Dior bag, but clearly she can’t afford any class.”

As unlucky as this bride may have been, this isn’t the first time something like this has happened — in February, TikToker Jasmine Hopper went viral for claiming her own “toxic” mother-in-law wore a white gown to her wedding.

She further alleged the mother-in-law “gaslit” her by saying the dress was cream with gold sequins — not white.

And last year, an Australian woman caught some heat for wearing a white, low-cut dress to her friend’s wedding.
