A bride-to-be is in a wardrobe battle with her stepsister over what she is allowed to wear at her upcoming wedding.
The problem was sparked by her insistence that every guest must wear pastel-coloured clothing to the ceremony. However, the stepsister said that she had already bought a pricey dark red dress for the big day.
In a Reddit post, the woman wrote: "My wedding is coming up and since I’ve gotten proposed to me and my husband have been adamant about pastel colors being worn by the guests. My stepsister is saying that she bought this expensive dark red dress to wear to the wedding recently."

She went on to claim that neither of them are "difficult" people but that her stepsister is causing her issues with the dress and has since threatened to uninvite her to the wedding if necessary. On the flip side, the bride-to-be has been branded a "bridezilla" for the way she is acting and asked to be reimbursed for the dress.

The post read: "I’m not a hard to deal with person, but I feel like she shouldn’t have bought the dress knowing that I wanted people in pastel colors. She also isn’t a hard to deal with person usually so I dont know why she is acting like that.
"Now, last night I texted her saying she won’t be able to come to the wedding if she’s planning to wear that dress, and she asked if I will be reimbursing her for the dress and I told her no. She’s now telling family that I’m being a bridezilla and acting unreasonable."
If the woman was looking for sympathy then the vast majority of post's respondents - more than 4,000 at the time of writing - had other ideas. One slammed her and said: " I hate pastel and so do a lot of other people. It's a d*** move to expect guests to go and get outfits in a colour that they don't like and may never wear again just to fit your aesthetic."
While another questioned what was most important for the wedding day and commented: "What's more important to you? Having a perfect colour scheme or having your sister with you? You don't know why she bought that dress but surely not to hurt your feelings. But now, you basically told her: Colour is more important than you. That's like one of the biggest a**h***-moves you could pull off!"
Although many of the replies followed a similar pattern in criticising the woman's behaviour, someone sprung to her defence and wrote: "It's your wedding. You're allowed to have dresscode and rules to make sure it'll be fun for you and your groom. Especially since you already informed her ahead of time that the dresscode is pastel and she went ahead and buy dark red dress anyway."
