so my cousin got married last weekend, and i guess i caused a scene without even trying. i (22F) was a bridesmaid, and the dresses were simple. long, satin, kind of a champagne color. nothing flashy. i got mine altered so it fit me better, but i swear i didn’t change anything crazy. it was the same length, same style, just a little more fitted.
the wedding was beautiful, the ceremony went fine, and everything seemed normal until the reception. at some point, i noticed my mom acting weird, kind of giving me these looks but not saying anything. i figured she was just stressed or whatever. but then, during dinner, she leans over and whispers, “did you really have to make it so tight”
i was like, “what??” and she just sighs and goes, “you know how you look in that, it’s a little inappropriate”
i was so confused. like, all the bridesmaids were wearing the same dress. i just got mine tailored to fit me. but apparently, that was a problem because my mom wasn’t the only one making comments. one of my aunts (who i barely talk to) made a snide remark about how i was “enjoying the attention” and even the bride’s sister (not my cousin) said something about how i was “pulling focus”
i don’t even know what to say. i wasn’t trying to get attention, i was literally just wearing what they told me to wear. but by the end of the night, my mom was so upset, saying i should’ve known better and that it wasn’t my day.
i mean, was i really wrong for this
