    Font - Posted by u/Designed Basic 15 hours ago A AITA for having my niece's dress photoshopped because she wore white to my wedding?

    Font - So I (30f) got married, yay! Honestly, it was my dream wedding, everything went off without a hitch. Except for one small thing; my niece's (16) dress.

    Font - It was a white, lacy knee length dress. She even wore lace elbow length gloves! Honestly, it looked just like a wedding dress. I didn't say anything to her or her parents (by brother and SIL) in the moment, and I tried my best to ignore it. But when I got the first drafts back from our photographer, I couldn't stand when I saw her in her white dress standing next to me.

    Font - My husband saw how upset I was, and suggested that we pay extra to get my niece's dress photoshopped to a light blue. We thought it through, and since we had some budget left, we went for it.

    Font - Well, last week, we got the final photos back and they looked great! I could hardly even tell that my niece was originally wearing white, and she still looked really nice.

    Font - I posted some of the photos on social media, and my SIL messaged me and was angry that I photoshopped my niece without checking with her (my SIL) first. She accused me of thinking my niece was ugly and of body shaming her. To be clear, I did not have her body photoshopped, only the color of her dress and gloves.

    Font - I don't think I'm in the wrong, but this situation has been stressing me out, so AITA? Edit: small clarification: the picture I posted was a large group shot that my niece is in. I wasn't trying to showcase the photoshop at all.

    Font - Chaos-in-a-CookieJar 15 hr. ago Partassipant [4] ΝΤΑ If she didn't want the dress to be photoshopped, she shouldn't have let her daughter attend a wedding in a lacy white dress! The nerve of that woman! 23.8k Reply Share

    Font - amagivictoria 14 hr. ago SIL is ticked... she's probably the one who helped pick the dress and gloves and encouraged this. Niece may not know, doubtful at her age in 2023 but SIL did. 9.1k Reply Share

    Font - Tobias FunkeFresh 12 hr. ago ● I've heard an excuse for this before that was basically the SIL was super religious and thought it was inappropriate for a non virgin bride to wear white. She dressed her 'pure' teenage daughters in white as a way of giving a middle finger to the 'floozy' bride.

    Font - Her_big_ole_feet 13 hr. ago I have a half-sister in law who wore white to my sister in laws wedding AND had her two 18 and 19 daughters wear white as well! She admitted to someone so it was confirmed "on purpose"...

    Font - Terrapins_MD. 13 hr. ago There was a thread a while ago about a bridesmaid that was told to wear a white dress by the bride. When she showed up to the wedding the bride was pissed, and claimed it was a test and she shouldn't have worn it. It was a good read, I'm horrible at finding old post tho, maybe someone can find it...
