Sorry - another bridezilla ish one

[bagpuss90]

My niece is marrying in October. Her day - her rules . But aibu to be a bit shocked at the dress code ? We are all to wear black and only black. No hats. No fascinators. No flowers in our hair. No coloured shoes or handbags. And wait for it - no nail polish. She wants a monochrome wedding.

They can . And I would. Doesn't make it any less of a twatty thing to do as a couple getting married.

Yes. I am aware of that.
I am responding to the above posters "societal norms" remark.

Check out the Style and Beauty section. You’ll find loads of people asking if you can wear black to a wedding.

Hahaha 😆

I think these type of wedding dress codes are impressively rude and indicative of poor hosting skills, but I'd be very tempted to go along if I was ever invited to one, just to see what other awful social honkers the B&G have come up with.

I doubt you’d be missed.

True, although there was a bit of a strange one where people hadn't heard the "don't wear white" thing.
Weddings, eh? Trouble.

Ah well, we will never know as none of my friends are twats like this! All the many weddings I've been to and very much enjoyed have been about everyone having a nice day. Not about how everyone looks.

So buy one from Primark for a fiver.

No black shoes and no black shoes? Gosh. 🥺

But they were important enough to be invited…

Why are they asking…?

No everyone has been asked to wear black..

Time will tell if that actually happens.

You know Aunt Ann, may just rock up
in her fuchsia number with matching nails and say “I didn’t think that black applied to me, what would you like me to do?”

I'd be temped to go with no present and no attendance.
Some brides these days are dictators.

IT might be her day but she is ott thinking she can dictate about nail polish these brides are getting worse why are they so obsessed about telling people what to wear as it is your niece I would be saying I’m not coming to you wedding it’s a joke that she is dictating so much. Honestly I wouldn’t bother or ignore her rules.

I’ve never been to a wedding with a formal dress code and this one sounds bonkers. Fucking Instagram. Bet my patchy baldy post chemo head would ruin her aesthetic more than a fascinator! 😂

I’m genuinely amazed so many people don’t own any black clothing, I thought everyone did! Every day’s a school day.

Me too. I reckon about 99% of the population will have black clothes, shoes and bags in their wardrobe.
I'm half French though and grew up in France and pretty much everyone wears black so maybe that's why I think so.

And what about the music? Will it be Back to Black, Black is Black, Black Night or even Black or White? 😂

I'd be thrilled, really easy to get an outfit for

I've lost a load of weight. My one black dress would fall off on my way to my seat. I have black underwear though so at least would still be within the dress code.

It's a shame about the nail varnish and hats etc, but how about channelling Stevie Nicks?

If we’re talking all black, I have a pair of leggings and a black polo neck. I wear coloured clothing over them. I hate being head to toe in black, makes me feel really gloomy. My dress shoes are leopard print.

I would go for malicious compliance with this and go full on Goth with black make up, platform boots, leather waist corset, tiered lace skirt, the whole thing.

I never wear black as it looks terrible on me so if I had to buy stuff...

Well, that’d be me rocking up in an electric blue wig, just to be a knob.
