<p>After a guest wore a "skimpy" and "revealing" dress to her wedding, a frustrated bride put her on blast on Reddit</p>
<p>The bride explained that her wedding had an "elegant" theme and that she warned her guests, but the invited "family friend" did not follow directions</p>
<p>Her comments sparked a spirited debate on Reddit's "Wedding Shaming" forum</p>
<p>A newlywed is upset about the "skimpy" dress that a "family friend" wore to her "elegant" wedding.</p>
<p>Taking to Reddit's "Wedding Shaming" forum, the 24-year-old bride put a 19-year-old guest — whom she referred to by the fake name "Ariana" — on blast for the dress that she wore to her recent nuptials.</p>
<p>"Ariana has always dressed in a revealing and skimpy way, which I knew. But when I invited her to my wedding, the invitation clearly said to dress elegant. I thought she had the common sense to dress appropriately for the occasion," she wrote, adding, "Well, I was wrong."</p>
<p>The frustrated bride noted that the guest wore a "Poster Girl-style" dress, saying it was even worse than she could have imagined.</p>

<p>The dress the bride claimed the guest wore to her wedding</p>
<p>She shared a photo of the alleged dress in her post. It was a sheer black minidress that featured a tiger-print design and ties across a plunging neckline. There were also matching gloves.</p>
<p>Her photo was accompanied by screenshots of a text message exchange that the bride and guest had.</p>
<p>"Why would you show up wearing what you wore to my wedding?? Did it not say on the invitation to show up wearing something elegant since that was the theme?" A second message read: "I'm not trying to be a b---- or anything but I just wanna know why you would do that."</p>
<p>"Cause I can???" the girl responded. "Is that like a problem? Can I not dress cute anymore in peace?"</p>
<p>The bride's post led to a spirited debate in the replies.</p>
<p>Many came out in favor of the bride.</p>
<p>"I was reading the text exchange and was expecting it to be about a dress that was maybe a little more low cut than OP [original poster] would have liked but otherwise fit the theme. But that dress isn't appropriate to wear anywhere other than the club," one Redditor wrote.</p>
<p>Another referred to the outfit as being "Temu lingerie level gear."</p>
<p>"That is not 'cute,' " another poster replied. "That is 'getting hammered at the club sexy'. With her history something overly sexy was to be expected, but not this bad. I was expecting plunging neckline, thigh slit and backless in maybe a floor length satin."</p>

<p>The comment prompted a response from yet another upset poster: "You're too generous, that's a 'standing on a street corner looking for clients' dress."</p>
<p>Some people pointed out that the outfit actually added some excitement to the wedding.</p>
<p>"Look, the perfect wedding has food, fun, romance, and one ghastly person for everyone to enjoy gossiping about on the drive home. A better favor than a candle or a plant or those Jordan almonds or whatever. She gave your guests a delightful gift," they wrote.</p>
<p>Another agreed, replying, "My favorite wedding games 'who is the sloppiest drunk' and 'who is dressed most inappropriately.' "</p>

<p>However, some people thought that the bride was in the wrong based on her response.</p>
<p>One person opined that she "accomplished nothing with these messages. The friend is probably enjoying that she made the bride 'jealous' on her wedding day. Next time IGNORE."</p>
<p>"Might be unpopular, but I disagree with your approach," another person wrote. "She obviously dressed for clubbing and not for a wedding, she looked innapropriate and was probably silently mocked by most guests, but your text is rude as well. What's done is done, decide whether you want a friendship or not with this girl but let it go and focus on whether you enjoyed your day or not."</p>
