Pouring red wine on guests?

Seriously? This cannot be a real thing. Actual wine wine? Poured on guest?!?!?! Wow! Sounds very immature, I had no idea people did this.

Maybe this is extreme, but those who actually do it, but it’s considered assault and/or destruction of property.


I’ve never understood grown adults talking about purposely throwing wine on someone’s outfit. It’s rude and immature. Stick to just shunning and talking behind the persons back if they wear white.

Hopefully it was satire. That sounds like something straight from the script of that TV show Bridezillas. Super immature and low class.
But, to be perfectly honest, I think demanding nobody wear white to a wedding is ridiculous in and of itself. It’s controlling and screams insecurity. I am wearing black to my wedding, and I wouldn’t dream of telling my guests that they weren’t allowed to wear black. It’s not like anybody is going to mistaken who the bride is just because somebody else is wearing the same color- it’s the lady standing at the front of the room getting married 😆

Can you link the article? I'm inclined to believe it's satire.

Ummm what?! no way!

I'm strongly inclined to believe the article was satirical and/ or being commented on by internet trolls. That sounds way more like something you'd see on a sitcom than in real life. I think it's super tacky to wear white to a wedding, and something that's super easy to plan around, but I'd let the person's choice speak for itself before ruining their clothes (or having someone else do it).

This is how I feel too!! I've been straight up asked if I'm going to ask that no one else wear black... um its a black-tie optional wedding, most people lean into black for a formal event. The only people I'm asking to not wear black are our mothers (I've also asked that they not wear the same colors as my bridesmaids and they were both 100% fine with that).

Pouring red wine on anyone who has any white on them is absolutely assault and intentional damage to property. Depending on the state, it could also be assault and battery as it could 100% been seen as an act of violence. It's petty, it's childish, and it absolutely reeks of insecurity and desperation. No one, regardless of the color of clothing they wear, will ever be suddenly mistaken for a bride. You know who's wedding you are going to.

The only time I would be even a little miffed would be if someone showed up in a straight up wedding gown. Like went to David's Bridal and bought a white wedding gown off the rack. Cause that seems malicious. But even then I'd just ask them to leave, not assault them.

Not sure how valid these stories are, but OMG...

It doesn’t come across as satire but who knows. Some people don’t realize that the wedding day is about more than just the bride.

I read these, and such carelessness can be horrific and true. My SIL got red wine spilled on her wedding dress during cocktail hour. She cried in the bathroom while her bridesmaids busted out the emergency kit- Tide pens? all before the reception. Such a buzz in the room, we were like, "who in the hell drinks red wine in the cocktail hour and comes up to the bride??" I'm sure it was an accident, but if I was the guest, I'd be mortified and leave. Now thinking about it, for my own wedding, we chose 2 clear specialty cocktails and served wine at the table.
