Can't Believe What I've Just Seen at a Wedding

[Bulbsbulbsbulbs]

Afternoon wedding, on a beach. Bride in traditional wedding dress, guests mostly in smart normal wedding attire.

One guest was in a wedding dress. A proper, full on wedding dress. Strapless, corset back, full length, big full skirt with a TRAIN.

The bride had asked guests not to wear white and it wasn't white but bloody hell, who would do that? She looked amazing in it but I simply can't understand the thought process. I've no idea who she was other than a friend of the bride, close enough to go to the hen night, but I'm pretty sure the bride wouldn't have said this dress was OK if she'd been asked. She wasn't a bridesmaid, literally just a guest with no other role to play at the wedding( unless she's going to step up and sing Don't Cry For Me Argentina at the reception later which is possible I suppose!)

I'm just gobsmacked that someone would do this.

What colour was it? Sounds like a ballgown?

Definitely need to know the colour..... Photo if possible!

So how did the bride react? Or didn't she?

It is a very pale pink. Ball gowns don't tend to have trains, I think it's a wedding dress she's maybe had dyed.

The bride didn't react as she didn't really see it- the guest was in the congregation and the bride was getting married.

The reception starts in ten minutes so I guess the bride will see it then!

Omg, this is gold. Pic pllllsssssssss.

Pics or it didnt happen! 👀👀👀

(I dont doubt you but need to see 😭)

Jaysis.
Photographic evidence is required @Bulbsbulbsbulbs ! 😂

Pic or its not true 😂
Im following for the blow up!

I can’t understand what would go through someone’s head to do that!

From the description, it sounds like there is no wag that anyone can think it’s an appropriate wedding guest attire unless pre-approved by the bride. It’s definitely not a joint wedding or anything like that?

You have to get a sneaky photo and post it here!

Someone has main character syndrome.

You can't put a photo, too outing. Diagram? 😉

I once attended a wedding where the MOB wore a full length white dress with a veil. 😲

Really??? You're at a wedding but posting on MN?? WHAT A LOAD OF BS

There'll be no photos, as it's 'outing'

We need photos!

Photos or it didn’t happen

is it your wedding?

Other end of the scale, could it be someone who's never been to a wedding and thinks you're supposed to wear something like that? I never went to a wedding until I was in my 20s, maybe she looked up 'wedding outfit ideas' and barked up totally the wrong tree?

Actually I came home in the 'down time' photos etc. I posted because I was just so surprised by it.

And of course I can't take a photo of a stranger and post it on the internet!!! Christ. But she looks a bit like this, without the straps and with a train.

I believe you OP. I've been at a wedding where the same thing happened, so much so that people in the street thought the guest was the bride. We were all (bride included) incredulous. I do not understand how anyone can think this is appropriate!
