Imagine a fun and laid-back wedding where love, laughter, and a touch of magic intertwine to create the perfect day. That’s what our narrator (Original Poster) and her husband envisioned when they tied the knot just two months ago.
Their love story was a blend of past experiences—she widowed, he divorced—coming together for a new chapter filled with joy and companionship.
But this wasn’t your average run-off-the-mill wedding. Instead of the conventional white dress and tuxedo get-up, the couple decided to wear purple. They had one little request for all prospective guests: no purple attire, please!
Now, before you raise an eyebrow, let’s dive into the reason behind this. Purple wasn’t just a hue for them; it held a deep and sad significance.
It was the favorite color of the husband’s late daughter, a beautiful soul who lost her battle with cancer. She couldn’t witness their vows, but they believed her spirit lingered in every shade of purple that adorned the ceremony.
Fast forward to the D-day, and light chatter filled the air as the first wave of guests began to arrive—and then, a fashion faux pas unfolded. Amidst the sea of carefully chosen colors, a lady strutted out of a vehicle in full-on purple regalia.
Shock, horror, and a dash of confusion rippled through the wedding party. What happened next? Well, OP’s family sprinted to the rescue and ushered this rebellious guest away, and their fairytale wedding was saved!
Thankfully, it wasn’t close family, so the situation died down quickly—or so OP thought. The guest, who shall remain purple-clad in memory, took to Facebook with a colorful rant. Accusations flew, claiming disrespect and embarrassment at being asked to leave.
OP was furious! However, deep down, she felt a bit guilty. Was it possible that she was somehow in the wrong?
Let’s dig into the details
A bit of background
The couple were horrified to see one of the early guests step out of her car in a purple dress. Interestingly, OP’s family kicked her out before other guests started arriving
Shortly after, the woman made a post accusing the couple of being rude and jealous of her outfit at the wedding. The post made OP feel terrible and guilty about how it was handled
We gathered some reactions from the Reddit community:
“She intended to steal the show and make a scene and she got what she wanted.”
“NTA. She literally could have worn any color, maybe even white, if she wanted to.“
“Sounds like the cousin should have told her more.. not the AH.”
“NTA at all. Don’t waste your tears on people who mean nothing to you.”
“Her petty Facebook rant shows what she wanted. Attention.”
“Don’t let the purple bandit live rent free in you or your hubby’s head.”
“She should of never came with out the invited person Her FB post gives her main character syndrome.”
The Reddit jury deemed this a clear-cut NTA case. They believed the rebellious guest’s melodramatic response revealed her true intentions—to steal the spotlight and cause a scene.
OP’s simple request wasn’t asking for the moon; it was a heartfelt gesture with a meaningful backstory. OP deserved to bask in the glow of her special day without guilt or remorse. By breaking the rules, the woman was really just asking to be shipped out.
