Yellow Dress Drama at a Wedding

I attended a close friend’s wedding. I wore a yellow dress. Think like Belle in Beauty and the Beast yellow. Bumble bee yellow. Towards the end of the reception, a member of the wedding party approached me and stated that I needed to leave.

Turns out the blacklights made my dress appear more white than yellow, and I needed to leave because my dress was “white” and “inappropriate.” I said I will not be leaving early. The wedding party member walked off and I watched as they immediately went to talk to the groom, angrily pointing in my direction. The groom shrugged and continued to dance. The next morning I was approached by a different friend at breakfast who stated that they heard what happened and that I should have left when asked because it made people “uncomfortable” and that I made it about me “partying” rather than “respecting wedding etiquette.”
