When it comes to planning a wedding, most brides spend hours going over every detail to make sure their special day goes off without a hitch. But no matter how much they plan, they can never guarantee something won't go wrong on the big day.
One bride was so outraged her 16-year-old niece wore white to her wedding, she paid extra to have her dress photoshopped to light blue so it doesn't 'ruin' her pictures.
Taking to Reddit, the 30-year-old said: "I got married, yay! Honestly, it was my dream wedding, everything went off without a hitch. Except for one small thing, my niece's dress.
"It was a white, lacy knee length dress. She even wore lace elbow length gloves! Honestly, it looked just like a wedding dress." The bride went on to explain how she "tried her best to ignore it" on the big day - avoiding bringing up the subject to the teenager and her parents.
"But when I got the first drafts back from our photographer, I couldn't stand seeing her in her white dress standing next to me," she added.
"My husband saw how upset I was, and suggested that we pay extra to get my niece's dress photoshopped to a light blue.
"We thought it through, and since we had some budget left, we went for it.
"Well, last week, we got the final photos back and they looked great! I could hardly even tell that my niece was originally wearing white, and she still looked really nice."
She excitedly posted a selection of her wedding pictures on social media - but received an angry message from her sister-in-law soon after.
The woman added: "She was angry that I photoshopped my niece without checking with her [my sister-in-law] first.
"She accused me of thinking my niece was ugly and of body shaming her. To be clear, I did not have her body photoshopped, only the colour of her dress and gloves."
Wanting to know whether she was wrong to photoshop the dress, she has taken to Reddit to ask users for their thoughts.
In response, one user said: "If she didn't want the dress to be photoshopped, she shouldn't have let her daughter attend a wedding in a lacy white dress! The nerve of that woman!"
Another user added: "My spidey sense says the white dress was a deliberate affront, and when you finessed around it they got more combative and made up a grievance."
A third user said: "They were wrong to have her wear white to a wedding to begin with.
"Instead of getting mad and making a scene, you and your husband used logic (and technology) to fix the problem in the photos. Great thinking!"
