I Wore White To A Wedding That Wasn't Mine~SAY IT ISN'T SO!
I was 23 or 24 years old, not much money, and my mom wasn't around to teach me such lessons. The year when I was 23 or 24, I was invited to a lot of weddings. So one day I asked my soon to be sister-in-law if I could borrow some of her dresses. I was single at the time making good money but somehow I thought I didn't have money on account of how I was raised. My dad was a tightwad, I literally owned 3 shirts and 2 pair of pants that were wearable. The rest of my clothes were hand me downs from Aunt Maude. Get the picture? I had 4 back to back weddings in one month. My soon to be sister-in-law gave me 4 dresses one of them being white. As I was heading to the 4th wedding I kept thinking to myself, "I don't think I should be wearing white but it's too late to get another dress for this out of town wedding, it's just too late I'm stuck." I was getting out of my car, when my face went flush. That's when it hit me that I should have worn black underwear ONLY before wearing white when you are not the bride. I sat in middle of the wedding with all eyes on me and my white dress. OMG I never felt so humiliated in my life. I should have ditched the reception but I was too stupid to do even that, besides my fiancée was in the wedding party. I bet you thought it couldn't get worse?...... And it did. There was me in a flouncy 1980's white party dress and my 1980's permed and teased hair. I walked around that reception with my head down and my eyes cast to the ground in full shame. If I had to do it over I would have stayed in the bathroom until it was over. Live and Learn until you are too old to give a shit about humiliation. The end~
