AITA for Attending My Ex Wedding in a Dress That Stole the Spotlight? My ex and I divorced peacefully and co-parent our three kids well. My ex is marrying Stephanie, whom I like because she’s good with our kids. He invited me to the wedding, and since it was my day with the kids, I agreed to come.
When I arrived, Stephanie thanked me for dropping off the kids but was surprised to see me staying for the whole event. I told her I drove two hours and planned to stay. Stephanie asked me to leave, but I refused.
She also complained that my dress was taking attention away from hers. My ex and his mom helped calm her down, and the wedding continued.
Later, Stephanie privately accused me of trying to ruin her day and said it was rude of me to stay after she asked me to leave. I told her it wasn’t my fault she felt insecure and that I had no interest in “stealing” my ex back.

She asked me to leave, but I stayed firm. She also complained that my dress was outshining hers. My ex and his mom helped calm her down, and the wedding went on.

Can you show us the dress??
After seeing the dress, YTA. That dress is too much for a guest at a wedding. Way too bright and unless this was a super elegant wedding, too much. I doubt too elegant as you said barely any dress code was given besides no white.

ESHYTAEdit: Upon seeing the link to the dress gonna go with YTA. Doesn’t matter if it was red, that shit is a wedding dress.

Bride was a bridezilla and the whole “I didn’t think you would accept thing” is stupid, but still, once it was clear she didn’t want you there you should have left. Easy enough to go to a cafe somewhere are read a book or go see a movie.
Willow_and_light writes:YTA that dress is completely inappropriate. It looks like a wedding dress but in red, and the red is so bright and distracting that it definitely draws attention.
Further to this, the bride asked you to leave. Why the hell would you stand your ground on her wedding day? Even if you thought she was being a bit of a dick, why would you want to upset someone on their day or stay when you’re clearly not welcome? You should have been the bigger person and left.

But her kids are there. Idgaf who asks, you don’t leave your kids someplace if you don’t know they’re going to be watched, you don’t just up and give up your time with them either. Does she take the kids with her, making them miss their dad’s wedding? Does she leave them there with her ex, knowing perfectly well he won’t be able to watch them?
There wasn’t a good call to make here, and calling her tacky for being in a fucky situation not of her own making is… well, tacky of you.
DandalusRoseshade writes:YTAChecked the other comments for what dress it was, you wore a wedding dress to a wedding.
“I looked at it, it seems like she searched amazon for red lacy mermaid sweetheart dress. If you type that in it gives a pretty good idea of the dress. I am leaning toward it being too much for an ex’s wedding”
Followed by a comment that pinpointed the dress from Amazon as a wedding dress.
You are unbelievable and you deserved to be thrown out; you knew what you were doing, and made it red so everyone but her would be confused.
