Weddings can be pretty complex scenarios if we talk about social decorum. It’s fairly necessary to possess a lot experience to be able to appropriately fulfill all the obligations of an ideal wedding guest. Regardless of the number of weddings you’ve been to, sometimes there are some twists that one can’t ever prepare for. DanWantsDeath, passionate cosplayer and fellow Reddit user, learned this the hard way at a close friend’s wedding. In his Reddit AITA post, he mentions that his friend and her now husband invited everyone to an “engagement party,” only to reveal that it was their wedding during the event. The issue? It was a costume party, and Dan was in a wedding dress. Read the whole story down below:

Weddings, of course, symbolize change, and often people find it very difficult to adapt to it. It’s the beginning of a new chapter and sometimes newlyweds are reluctant to take a step forward. You could definitely reason that DanWantsDeath went for an over-the-top look for the party. Still, the groom who informed everyone that the unexpected wedding would be happening, assured him that it was fine. Due to that, you can’t really blame the cis dude with a wedding dress on for a cosplay, can you?
#18) OP mentions that he’s a cis man yet again.
#19) She seems like a pretty big red flag.
#20) Seems like it was for the best in the end, NGL.
#21) OP is literally a man. Context matters.
#22) They created this problem themselves.
