A woman has received backlash from her extended family after her wedding for comments made to her new sister-in-law about her dress, despite the fact the dress was white. The newlywed took to Reddit to explain that she got married two months ago to her long-term boyfriend but when it came round to taking pictures after the ceremony, she was fuming to find her sister-in-law in none other than a white dress.
In the post, the bride stated: "We had a beautiful ceremony in a little church in the town our families live in. After the ceremony we went outside and our guests congratulated us. I was so excited that I honestly couldn’t tell who wore what, but I saw that some of our friends seemed mad."

And it was not until a big group picture allowed for the bride and the sister-in-law to be stood next to each other that the woman realised why her friends were mad.
The sister-in-law was wearing a white dress.
"I was shocked but didn’t know what to say so I just looked the other way," explained the newlywed.
"But my Maid of Honour smiled at her and said quiet loudly 'Oh, what a nice white dress,' my sister-in-law kind of gasped and went 'that’s Tan!' I just said nothing."
At the reception later on in the day, the bride heard some of her guests complaining about the sister-in-law's dress with some saying it was disrespectful, while others were contemplating spilling red wine on it. But the bride knew the sister-in-law would not have heard these remarks as they had taken the wrong turning and were not at the reception yet.
However, a few days after the wedding, the newlyweds went to visit their extended family and the mother-in-law decided to talk to the bride about the sister-in-law's dress.
"My mother-in-law took me aside to tell me the dress my sister-in-law was wearing was tan, not white and she is extremely hurt about what my Maid of Honour said and felt shamed and excluded," explained the author.
"My mother-in-law asked me if I really thought the dress was white and I said yes."
The wife also stated it was not an appropriate dress and whether it was white or off-white, she should have worn something else.
Many have been quick to support the newlywed with one person writing: "If it was done by accident, she probably wouldn't have kept trying to stand next to the bride as though they were both brides in white!"
While another said: "I mean the whole thing is intentional, she wore a white dress to the wedding, then started quitting on the position that it was tan, and immediately ran to her mother to have her berate the bride over someone just making a comment pointing out the colour of the dress."
