'I refuse to go to my friend's wedding – the hideous colour scheme gives me nightmares' – The Mirror
A woman thinks her friend’s wedding colour scheme is so ‘hideous’ she’s been having nightmares about it – and has told her she’s not coming to the big event if she doesn’t change it
Planning a wedding is a hugely daunting task, but the good news is that it's your day – and as a couple you can make all the decisions to make sure it's your dream day. But that doesn't mean people won't have their own opinions.
One wedding guest has such strong feelings about her friend's colour scheme she has threatened to not turn up to the wedding at all. Explaining the situation on Reddit, the anonymous user explained that she had gotten into a huge fight with her friend after revealing she hated her colour scheme.
The 22-year-old explained that she and the bride-to-be, 21, had been friends since childhood, but were "very different souls". While the forum user had been planning her wedding, down to the lace detail on her dress, since she was little, her friend was a little more casual about it.
The post explained: "They're getting married in this small venue that's in a little forest area. When they proposed this idea, I thought it was a little odd, but whatever. Their cat is going to be the ring bearer, weird (but cute) to me but again, it's their wedding. All was fine, unconventional but fine, until they showed me the colours.
"I'm not kidding. i know it sounds ridiculous but the colours they chose are god awful. It's this neon yellow/greenish colour, dark orange (kind of brownish), and mint green. It is seriously the most hideous palette of colours I have ever seen."
The woman explained that she found the colours "uncomfortable to look at" and has even started dreaming about it. She explained: "I was having dreams where the rainbow was made up of these three colours and had this twisted, horrific smile under its dead eyes. I've always had pretty weird dreams, but this has got to take the cake. It sounds so stupid but it was genuinely terrifying."
She told her friend about her concerns, and about the dreams, but her friend "laughed". The post continued: "I was pretty offended that she laughed at a genuine comment I was making, and told her I wouldn't go to the wedding if the colour scheme remained. She told me I was overreacting and to take a day or two to calm down, so we left each other alone as to not provoke each other."
In the comment section, most people agreed that it wasn't worth ruining a friendship over a wedding colour scheme. One person said: "What a stupid thing to ruin a friendship over. It's not your wedding! It's hers and she can make her day whatever she wants it to be."
Another agreed, adding: "If you value your friendship then you should place it above your own vanity and get over the colour scheme. It's one day! And as you said it's their wedding not yours. Do you really want to risk losing your friend because of some colour?"
