Bride Thinks Her Sister Intentionally Stained Her Wedding Dress for This Surprising Reason

A bride is still haunted by a moment from her wedding seven years ago, all because of her sister.

On Reddit’s popular Wedding Drama forum, a woman shared how her perfect wedding dress was stained just before she needed to wear it. She revealed that she suspects her sister may have done it on purpose.

“The morning of my wedding, I was getting ready in the bridal suite with my mom, a couple of close friends, and my younger sister. My dress was everything I’d dreamed of, satin with lace at the neckline and a small train. I was so excited to finally wear it,” she recalled.

Disaster struck after she finished her makeup. She walked out to find “a bright lipstick stain on the lace” of her dress.

“Not small, not hidden, right across the neckline,” she emphasized.

After a quick fix, a seamstress managed to cover most of the stain with extra lace.

“From the outside, no one could tell. But I knew. Every time I looked at my photos, I saw it,” she said. Years later, she reflected, “What hurts most is that I don’t think it was an accident. She never apologized properly. It felt intentional, like she couldn’t handle not being the center of attention that day.”

Despite the outward appearance of a perfect wedding, the bride admitted she carried the sting all day. “Even now, years later, I still can’t forget it.”

Although she wasn’t seeking advice on the long-past incident, her post sparked conversation among Redditors, many of whom urged her to move on.

“Time to let it go, 7 years? Either way it’s over and the only one it bothers is you. Move on,” one commenter said.

Another shared their perspective on holding grudges: “My 60-year-old sister carries decades-old grudges and resentments; it colours a lot of her life. She can’t figure out why friends and family spend minimal time with her. She’s a depressing pill to be around. Don’t carry grudges, they only harm you and you will never get the kind of reconciliation or retribution that you think will make everything better.”

Other brides chimed in with their own wedding-day mishaps: “On the way to my wedding I got my veil caught in the car door and ripped it. And then I got a ticket for speeding… My point is that life happens, even on wedding days. I’m more concerned that you’re still letting this live in your head 7 years later. It’s time to let this go.”

One Redditor even questioned the bride’s priorities: “Okay … but how’s your marriage? That was the most important part of your wedding.”

The bride responded in the comments, acknowledging the advice: “You’re right, it has been a long time. I think part of me knows I should let it go, but the hurt stuck because it felt intentional and came from someone so close. Maybe sharing it here is part of me trying to finally move on.”
