“A wedding isn’t just a day, it’s the day you get to be the star of your own fairy tale. And in my fairytale, everything is perfect because I deserve nothing less.”

I'm a Senior Staff Writer based in New York City, where I've been covering classic BuzzFeed-style content since 2020.

If you can't read the above, it says (with grammar and spelling fixed):

WIBTA If I wore white when my sister is the bride?

So my sister is getting married in November, mid-November. My birthday is in October, mid-October.

Anyways, I have been looking at some restaurants to celebrate my birthday with my core group. Today, as I was searching for a dress to wear for my birthday. I found the prettiest white dress with sunflowers on white that gave off autumn vibes. It's also very fairy/hippie-like, which fits my whole aura in general.

I excitedly show my sister the dress—and yes, it's overwhelmingly white because it's long with peasant-style puff sleeves; however, it's clear that it's not remotely a wedding-like dress or bridal party dress. She asked me how I could wear white when she is the bride. Her wedding festivities had begun (we just got back from her bachelorette and her bridal shower is towards the end of October, after my birthday), and me wearing white is not okay. Only she can wear white. 'You're not a bride, you cannot wear white,' were her words.

I took it as a joke and told her, 'It's my birthday, I can choose to wear whichever color I want.' She is a Reddit lurker, and I told her I was going to ask Reddit for their opinion.

So, Reddit, WIBTA if I choose to wear white to my birthday dinner? Or is my sister on the verge of becoming a bridezilla? So far, things have been light-hearted between us; however, I do believe she would take issue with me wearing white.
