On the morning of my son’s wedding, I eagerly put on my stunning mother-of-the-groom outfit, feeling like royalty in an emerald green gown. I had spent weeks searching for the perfect dress, wanting to look my best on such an important day. Little did I know, my choice would lead to a wedding day drama I never anticipated.
As I arrived at the wedding venue, I noticed the whispers and glances from the guests. Brushing off the unease, I made my way towards the bride’s room, intrigued to find out what was going on. Upon entering, I was met with an unexpected and tearful outburst from the bride.

“Why did you do this to me?” she cried, her eyes red and puffy. I was shocked by her public display and sudden accusations. “What do you mean, honey?” I asked gently, hoping to calm her down.
“Your dress!” she exclaimed, pointing an accusing finger at my emerald gown. “It’s green, the same color as the bridesmaids’ dresses! You knew this would ruin the photos and the entire theme. How could you?”
I was taken aback. I had no idea the bridesmaids would be wearing green; no one had told me about any specific color scheme. “I’m sorry, I didn’t know,” I replied, trying to keep my voice steady. “I just wanted to look nice for the wedding. If I had known, I would have chosen a different dress.”
She looked at me, still upset but now with a glimmer of understanding. “It’s just…this day is supposed to be perfect. Everything has to be right.”

Feeling a mixture of guilt and frustration, I offered to change my dress if it would make her feel better. “I can go back home and put on something else,” I suggested, hoping to resolve the issue.
But she shook her head. “It’s too late. The wedding is about to start, and there’s no time.”
The ceremony went on as planned, but the tension lingered. I couldn’t shake the feeling that I had unintentionally cast a shadow over what should have been a joyful day. As I watched my son and his new wife exchange vows, I silently berated myself for not considering the possibility of a color clash.
After the wedding, I approached the bride again. “I truly am sorry if my dress upset you. I didn’t mean to cause any trouble.”

She sighed, looking weary. “It’s not entirely your fault. I guess I overreacted. It’s just that weddings are stressful, and I wanted everything to be perfect.” We hugged, and I hoped that this incident wouldn’t mar our future relationship. Still, I couldn’t help but wonder if I had really been wrong to wear that dress. Was it fair to expect me to know about the color scheme when no one had informed me?
In the end, I realized that weddings, with all their expectations and emotions, can bring out the best and worst in people. My intention was never to overshadow the bride’s special day, but rather to celebrate my son’s happiness.
