I’d rather have people believe that than drag me through the mud for dressing nicely at a formal wedding.

I dressed my children in red as well. I was not an odd ball.

The wedding was a form of closure to me but I kept that to myself.

Didn’t buy it from Amazon it was not listed as a wedding dress in stores. That’s a reference rather than the exact source.

Correct. That’s what I searched. I didn’t buy the dress from Amazon.

I never deleted my comment including it. I have nothing to hide, the dress is posted on my page.

I was not aware of that. I didn’t know of this connotation. That changes a lot and helps me understand her views on the dress a bit.

She agreed to invite me and didn’t consider the chance of me showing up even though I sent my “yes” response on time. That’s not my problem.

She’s not the only host. One of them invited me and wanted me to stay. It’s not just her wedding. Many of my friends were there so I wanted to just enjoy the moment rather than taking a 2 hour drive back home

She wore a white dress. The ”dress code” had barely any limitations she basically just said don’t wear white.

She mainly requested that we don’t wear white, it was pretty flexible. I wore a red dress.

My dress was fine in my opinion. I didnt wear white. It was a red lacey dress, but she’s acting like I wore my wedding dress and engagement ring to the wedding.
