Husband’s cousin thinks I upstaged her at wedding

Pretty sure this is a plug for the “unique-vintage” website.

Would anyone else there be aware it was your go to funeral dress?

Who avoids black at a wedding?!

Traditionally wearing black was your way of showing you didn't approve of the wedding. Indicated you were in mourning, not celebrating the event.

I think it’s a fine dress and very respectable. I’m not sure what the bride was complaining about. I almost wonder if something got lost in translation. Perhaps she was joking and actually saying in a complementary way that you looked really good? Maybe she was trying to compliment you and it just came across in the incorrect way.

I wasn’t the only person wearing black at the wedding. Other ladies wore black. Also, no... no one from the funerals were at the wedding. Also at the funerals, I wore it with a cardigan.

Who are you all? I attend a lot of weddings and half the guests wear black dresses.

Op if you upstaged the bride, she didn’t try hard enough or look bridal enough. There is nothing wrong with that dress.

Troll. No one would feel upstaged by...that.

I don’t think she was joking, DH said she was very upset. She said that I always “dress up” for casual events and think I’m better than everyone else. Except I don’t.... I just think I look better when I’m wearing more structured clothes. I wear a lot of dresses and skirts. I look sloppy as hell in jeans and a t shirt whereas other people can pull it off nicely.

Well, no one would say Red Lobster is fine dining but if you’ve only ever been to a drive through...

That's not a 60's dress or stylish.

Are you the cousin?

According to the listing it’s meant to look 50s. Depending on the accessories, it probably does but why do you have to be so rude?

It might have been in a very complimentary way that indicated she liked your dress. Men tend to be very clueless and inept at deciphering tone and intent. If she had meant it in a rude or snarky way then your husband is an idiot for telling you.

OP I think PP could be right. Might have been meant as a compliment!

Hello, did you not read OP’s post a few posts above? Cousin was REALLY UPSET and thinks cousin’s wife is a show off.

OP, don’t take it to heart. This woman is deeply unhappy. Who calls family from a HONEYMOON?

I just do not get the energy people put into weddings and how they have to be unique and no one is allowed to anything similar or that could be perceived as upstaging anyone else. People, get a grip!
