Mother-of-the-bride demands ginger bridesmaid dyes her hair for the wedding because it ‘clashed’ with the dresses
A WOMAN has sparked debate online when she revealed she was ordered to change her hair colour for her best friend's wedding so that it didn't clash with the chosen bridesmaid dress - but the demands didn't even come from the bride.
In the rant posted to a private Facebook group the woman, whose hair was burgundy in colour, revealed that when the bride decided on maroon dresses last minute, the bride's mother insisted the bridesmaid change her hair colour for the wedding to avoid it clashing.
The poster revealed that her hair had been the same colour since meeting her best friend ten years prior and that the colour of the dresses were only decided on because it was the only colour available in store at the time.
Despite being hesitant, the bridesmaid agreed and went on to spend additional time and money - and multiple trips to the hairdressers - to strip out ten years worth of colour from her hair.
But here's the kicker - the bridesmaid's hair ended up being pinned back in an up-do so the hair was not even visible for the most part.
After posting to Facebook expecting to be greeted with waves of support, the poster was instead met with people questioning her on why she'd even agree to begin with - and even if she did agree to change her hair colour, why she didn't just opt for a wig or a temporary hair dye.
One person wrote: "The fact that you agreed to do it is absolutely absurd."
And another said: "Sure, I’m shaming the mother for demanding it but you went along with it..."
While another made another suggestion: "What about wearing a wig?"
But in a bid to defend her actions, the woman hit back claiming she agreed to change her hair out of loyalty to her best friend and her family who have helped her in the past during her darkest times.
She also added that she was trying to be a supportive friend by not adding any extra pressure before her best friend's big day.
But, after detailing how much the bride and her mother have supported her in the past - including allowing her to live with them for some time - the comments then turned on her once more.
The poster jumped in to defend herself AGAIN, after some people said she shouldn't be shaming the people she claimed has done so much for her.
It seemed not everyone agreed with the woman's "mother-of-the-bride-shaming" despite the demanding nature of the mother to begin with.
