A photo of a woman wearing a revealing sapphire dress to her friend’s wedding caused controversy on Reddit, with some people criticizing her choice and others defending it.
When it comes to weddings, there are certain expectations that need to be met in order to ensure respect for the bride and groom.
This includes dressing modestly so as not to draw too much attention away from them on their special day.
The photo that sparked the recent debate showed a woman wearing a low-cut dress right next to the bride who was dressed more modestly.
Some people argued that it was disrespectful for the woman to steal the spotlight from the couple while others argued that she shouldn’t be shamed for her anatomy.
Another incident involving inappropriate wedding attire occurred when social media influencer Lacey-Jade Christie posted photos on TikTok of herself wearing a short white dress to a wedding.
People were quick to criticize her choice because traditionally white is reserved for the bride only — however, Christie defended herself by saying that at this particular wedding, both brides wore red and blue dresses rather than white ones.
These incidents have led us all to question whether straying from traditional beliefs is really beneficial or if it just results in moral decline.
It is essential that we find balance when considering which values should take precedence during special occasions such as weddings — modesty and respect must still be honored but so too should we remain open minded about issues like gender inequality and body shaming.
By setting an example with our own behavior, we can show others how important traditional etiquette is while also being understanding about current societal issues women face today.
