My new husband and I got married Saturday.
My husband’s best friend’s wife is very attractive. I don’t think I’m unattractive but I accept that she’s on a different level. This was made even clearer to me at my wedding.
I’m the bride, I was wearing a tailored wedding gown and had my hair and makeup professionally done. Yet she was drawing more eyes. In a cocktail dress with her hair down.
I don’t blame her. She wasn’t trying to attract any attention, she just does. But I did feel a bit bitter about how people were gushing over her. All of my husband’s friends were trying to flatter her, not me. They wanted to dance with her and drink with her. Her husband was getting comments like “you’re a lucky man”, as if it was his wedding day.
Towards the end of the night, her and I finally crossed paths. And I made a half - joking comment to her “you’re stealing my shine! I thought this was my wedding”. I could tell she wasn’t amused, she didn’t smile. She did politely say I was a beautiful bride. When she walked back to her husband she started whispering to him.
This morning my husband informed me his friend told him what I said. My husband told me it was “immature” of me. He said these are his guests and I embarrassed him. I feel like I can’t possibility in the wrong. It was a throwaway comment. So AITA?
It’s a pretty bitchy thing to say. I think they’re over reacting though. It’s like one throwaway comment, who cares. But you probably shouldn’t have said it.
Kind of the asshole. I feel like it’s not worth arguing with anybody about though.
