She explained that she showed up in the dress, and when the bride saw her “she lost it.” Ciara, who had previously attended her wedding and knew that she had donned the blue sequined dress as her wedding dress, began yelling at her in front of her groom and guests about the dress.
“[She said] that what I did was horrible and that no one shows up at a wedding in a wedding dress,” the woman said on Reddit.

The woman said she ended up leaving the wedding early with her husband because she was “upset with the drama.” After she returned home from the wedding, she began to get texts from her friend who “blamed” her for “upstaging” her on her big day and “driving a wedge between her and her husband” who had told her that she “overreacted massively.”
