Couple Breaks Up After Guy Refuses to Let GF Attend Wedding in 'Gay Rat' Meme Dress
There are a handful of unspoken rules for proper wedding etiquette that are mostly just common sense. Don't show up too late or too early. Don't bring a plus-one unless you were offered one. Don't be the most wasted guest at the wedding. Don't make an impromptu speech. And perhaps the biggest faux pas of all—don't wear white. This is probably an out-dated rule, as many modern brides and grooms opt out of the traditional wedding-wear these days, but the intent of the rule still stands. No one should steal the couple's thunder with an attention-stealing outfit.
u/harleygfproblem's girlfriend took the wedding etiquette rule book and threw it out the window. He explains in an r/AmItheAsshole post that she has an eccentric sense of style, often incorporating memes into her outfits. When he told her he couldn't wear a costume that referenced the "gay rat wedding" meme to his gay friend's wedding, she was pretty upset about it.

OP explains the conflict with his weird girlfriend
Okay, first of all, you're not even supposed to wear white at a wedding, let alone an obnoxiously conceptual costume that screams "pay attention to me!"

The comment section was a resounding "NTA." But one could argue that he was kind of an a-hole for even considering letting Ms. Finkle humiliate his friend at his own wedding.
Redditor u/TheTARDISRanAway added, "People need to understand they're basically NPCs at a wedding unless they're immediately close with the bride and groom and even then they're just background
characters."
"NTA." u/PickaPill said, "This is a bad idea. The wedding is not her chance to make a creative splash. She needs to take a step back as a guest at a friends wedding and let the day be about the couple." -

Apparently it didn't go well
Posts like these always make me wonder how many couples have broken up because of r/AmItheAsshole. Perhaps it's for the best.
