'She has always tried to one-up me': Update! Bride changes party dress code to humiliate overdressed half-sister

As the saying goes, no one knows how to push your buttons better than your family. When you're raised together or spend lots of time together, you soon realize just what makes people tick. In this family, there's a silent war going on between the OP and her half-sister, who always tries to one-up her at everything — even her own engagement party. 

The OP shared this infuriating tale to r/pettyrevenge, but in my humble opinion, this is pro-level revenge. After announcing a party to celebrate her engagement, the OP got a tip from her cousin. Her half-sister was planning on wearing a stunning gold and white dress to OP's engagement party. It literally does look like a wedding dress, and a very fancy and expensive one at that! The OP included a photo to prove just how unhinged this half-sister's idea really was. If you know the first thing about weddings in many countries, it's so simple — don't wear a dress that's fancier than the bride's! Some people just can't help it. They need to be the center of attention at all times. 

That's a shame for the OP, who did share an update after the fact. It's not the best update, but hopefully they'll be happier with their new family arrangement. Scroll down to check out the story below. Then, swim into the deep end with these watery memes about fish and sharks.
