A woman received a controversial question for her wedding: “can I wear white?”

In apostto Reddit’s r/weddingplanning forum, a bride outlined the request that came from her sister, of all people.

The bride’s wedding is in three months, she wrote, and she admitted she still hasn’t found her own dress for the special day. Meanwhile, her sister is already weighing her options, and the dress she wore for her own engagement photos is in the mix, the bride wrote.

If it looks white in the photos, it’s a white dress, the bride said. If it’s a color anywhere near white, it’s a white dress, she said. But her sister is “aggressively trying to convince” her otherwise.

“Why are you being such a stick in the mud? It’s just one dress on one day,” the bride recalled her sister saying.

“Yep. You have many other beautiful dresses. You have many other events,” she replied. “Why this dress on this day?”

“I don’t understand why people bother asking if they’re just going to get fussy when you tell them no!” another wrote. “They asked for permission, you had every right to shut it down.”

Another commenter noted that “people forget how to dress themselves” when it comes to weddings.
