To think that this is strange behaviour for a bride at wedding do?

[marantha]

I am not exactly a prude and I suppose if a guest did this I'd think, 'Put it away, love' but wouldn't be surprised at the actions of a very drunk woman, however, I recently went to a wedding night/disco-type thing where the bride was very drunk and did the following:
She lay on her back, hitched up her dress (it was traditional frock-you know, cream, satiny, long etc) and started scissoring her legs wide apart so everything was on view.

Crikey, I'm no prude as such but this behaviour I found to be strange. AIBU?

YANBU, that is very odd indeed. Fancy what the parents & PIL were thinking!!

Suddenly decided her thighs were not toned enough!

I'm glad some find it unreasonable- it's NOT that I am offended or morally outraged by it it- I'm not, it's more a case of utter bemusement and WTF?! more than anything else.

I'm more offended by her 'satin' frock.

Well as a dress it was quite beautiful, I can't deny that but it did present another dilemma as she was so pissed a few of the wedding party friends and family females took her to her bed and helped her out of it, hung it up etc, including veil etc. You wouldn't want it just pulled off and plonked on floor. A very complex job.
But then I thought: Shouldn't husband be doing this? But then I thought about the whole thing that, in general, these 'traditional' wedding things do not translate in modern times.

That's why I was so bemused, I think, the sight of this lovely dress and her legs etc seemed really wrong to me.
If she'd been wearing a mini-skirt and tight top and this was just a 'normal' night out (although for the bride this behaviour would still have been quite surprising- as she is so demure usually) I wouldn't be taken aback by it.

To those of you who say

"It's her day", I'm at that.

It isn't HER day, it should be a day when the COUPLE celebrate their union together ,with their family & friends.

If the groom had got soo drunk and flashed at everyone, would that have been OK? NOOOOO.

Blimey, I can't imagine what her new inlaws must think of her.

I suspect her own parents wouldn't be so proud of her either.

Um, I think bride's mum was one of the people who found it amusing.

I also think if the groom HAD flashed at everyone this would have been kind of OK, too.
Although, I was a bit pissed off with groom when he mildly told me off for 'not looking after her'. F* me. I thought that that was HIS job. And, like, her MOTHER is one of the people laughing at the incident (!)

I dunno- it's the juxtaposition of all that'traditional' wedding paraphenalia and modern behaviour that made it weird for me. Perplexed by it.

Guess he couldn't tell mum off so had a go at me instead. Never again.
Any weddings I go to in future will be of the type that I know is going to be fairly straight and traditional OR register office jobs with no pretence at 'traditionality'.

You know, where the bride where's a nice dress but not a 'bride's' dress.

just pissed i guess, a bit tooooo pissed lol!

Yes, she was pissed and I won't hold this against her, I still think she's a very nice person, and I do hope nobody took pictures because she very well may be mortififed at what she did (then again, she may not be), I don't think it would be nice to present her with the evidence all the same.
Although the sight will be forever etched in my mind.
