My best friend Dan got married to Lauren yesterday. Dan and I have been best friends since high school and despite always being platonic with no romantic interests on either side, his now wife Lauren has always disliked me.
Anyway, they still invited me to their wedding. The dress code was “Warm tone garden party” and we were encouraged to wear warm earthy colors. I picked out a bronze/orange dress that I thought fit this perfectly and the style even matched some examples they gave. In short I thought I had nailed it.
The wedding went great, however at the reception, Lauren dragged me aside and said “I cannot believe you would wear gold to my wedding, you’re not the first prize you’re just trashy!” I was so shocked in the moment I just stared at her. She practically screamed at me to leave and she was drawing attention, but next moment she regretted it greatly as
…Dan walked over and asked what was going on.
Lauren immediately said, “She’s trying to upstage me—she wore gold!”
Dan looked at my dress, then back at her, and said flatly, “Lauren, that’s bronze. It’s literally in the color palette we sent out.”
A few guests nearby nodded in agreement, one even showing Lauren the invitation with the color swatches. Her face went red—not from embarrassment, but from anger.
Dan told her, “You just kicked out my best friend on our wedding day over nothing,” and then, to everyone’s surprise, he took my hand and led me back to the reception, telling me to enjoy the night.
Lauren refused to speak to him for the rest of the evening, and the tension was so thick you could slice it with the cake knife.
By the end of the night, I was the last one on the dance floor—with Dan—while Lauren sulked in the corner.
