A woman wearing an elegant white dress to a wedding has sparked debate online – because she was a guest and not the bride.
The post shared in a wedding shaming Facebook group left many people in disbelief and also caused debate as to whether or not the photo had been photoshopped.
In the photo, the woman was standing next to the eight-tier wedding cake wearing an elegant white lace gown with a an elaborate fascinator worn in her hair.
At first, people mistook her for the bride because what appeared to be a very traditional bridal look.
But when one user declared she knew the person who’d posted the image and confirmed she was in fact a guest at the wedding, and not the bride, people appeared confused.
One woman appeared outrage and insisted people should know that the image wasn’t one of a bride on her wedding day.
She proclaimed the woman in the image is actually a family member of the bride, based off the original post.
She said: ” Also I think its important to know from the original post… that’s not even the bride, it’s the brides family member?!! Like????”
Speaking of woman’s outfit choice, one user said: “I was ALWAYS under the impression it was like an unspoken rule that no one but the bride wore white”
While another wrote: “Nothing says issues like a full on bridal outfit.”
But despite many people being shocked at the outfit choice, many jumped in to share their thoughts on the image looking entirely fake.
One person claimed that something wasn’t right about the picture and that the image didn’t “look authentic.”
In the comment, the user wrote: ” Something is just not right about this picture. Like it doesn’t look authentic, it looks staged. It looks like one of those IG or Pinterest wedding ideas”
Others agreed, posting comments like, “that’s photoshopped” and “that’s a lot of photoshop going on”
“It looks like the girl was photoshopped in front of the cake”, said another user.
However, the person who originally shared the photo continually insisted it was real.
Weddings are a big deal for many people, so it’s no wonder one image sparked such controversy.
According to the majority of users in the group, and public opinion more generally, it is never OK to wear white to a wedding – unless you’re the bride. So it’s no wonder this one image sparked such a debate.
