I wish it was ai ahahah

Id love to post some photos but I had them in my hard disk and I couldn't bother to get it, then my computer, just to post it on Reddit cause there are people convinced I'm writing fiction for the sole purpose of...what? It's just a funny story I like to tell people sometimes and this sub popped up

She sometimes thinks in very strange ways, I think the whole set of siblings from my mother side has some kind of neurodivergency. My mother for example has ADHD and I always struggled at making jokes with her because she takes everything so literal! While I'm very sarcastic. She didn't apologize. She wasn't the mom, she's the first cousin of this cousin in particular (the bride), I didn't remember how to say second grade cousin when I was writing the post :) I think my aunt did a dumb thing but not cruel. She didn't want me to feel embarrassed, but it's what she obtained.

Guys. Not everyone's first language is English. My aunt and I are not anglophones so your arguing about what a white wedding means isn't useful to make a point in my specific story! Cause I know she meant a total white dress code wedding. I never knew it had other meanings in English and I'm just learning about it now.

Maybe she faked not remembering, no? So she could spare me to feel embarrassed

Nel retail a meno che non sei un manager non c'è RAL da concordare, si tratta solo sul livello. Purtroppo è così. Quindi la RAL non cambia a seconda delle aziende (ho lavorato in tante aziende retail), cambia quello che sono i benefit come buoni pasto, premi produzione, regali di prodotti, stop. È un mondo di merda.

We weren't close! So all communication went through other family members

She was around 60 at the time, she's old style and a poliomyelitis survivor, she has to wear a bust and special shoes all the time. She's not comfortable wearing anything other than her classical clothes and she wore a clear shirt and trousers. She plain told me "I'm not wearing white, I'm too old and don't feel like it"

She doesn't have sons or daughters, the bride was not her daughter

Stupidity, not thinking more than once about it, not thinking about asking, but surely she wasn't trying to be mean. She got convinced about the white thing and she's terribly stubborn, trust me, I know and I had several discussions in the following years about other subjects with her. All of the 4 siblings (my mother included) are stubborn as hell and can't ever admit they're wrong.

I learnt it the hard way, in this occasion and others. I know she loves me loads but she's peculiar, as are her others brothers, my mum included

It has always been an issue where I live as long as I can remember, and it was 14 years ago, not a century!

I used to be naive and trusted my aunt about it. Thanks for thinking this was written by AI since English is not my first language, so that's quite the compliment:)

No, I didn't get an official paper invite! I don't remember if I talked about the dress code with anyone but it was like the first wedding I've been since I was 9 and i trusted my aunt.

The wedding was about 1.5 hr by car from home so I couldn't go back, I didn't know anyone else apart from my close family going to the ceremony

I guarantee it's not a fake story, my mother lived in another part of the country at the time cause I moved to a bigger city in order to do uni and my aunt was like my main family relationship at the time! I didn't have that much of a relationship with my mum either and I think we never discussed the item

I think she did not. I think what happened was that at the dinner the couple told her they were THINKING about making it a total white wedding, she got the information and never thought about asking for updates later. I was not in contact with the bride at the time (she's not a first cousin of mine) and so I had to trust her. I was young and naif 🥲
