No one knows their best friend better than they do. It's part of the whole "best friend" pact. We know our BFF's likes, dislikes, and should know their boundaries.
One man on Reddit is worried he may have crossed a line with his best friend after deciding to pull off a "prank" on his big day.
He started out by explaining that his relationship to his best friend has always been fueled by pranks.
He shared that "it's just how our friendship formed and we always get a kick out of it."
"For example, he once invited me to a party and told me to wear a costume and when I got there, it was normal attire. I laughed after the initial embarrassment, and like I said we are comfortable enough to do that to each other."
So when his buddy was slated to hold a wedding, he concocted a plan.
"In the weeks leading up to the wedding, I told my girlfriend to wear white as it was expected all the women would wear it," he said. "She was reluctant but I told her that it was just a quirky thing the bride and groom were doing, so she said 'ok' and bought a white dress."
When the big day arrived, the couple arrived with the girlfriend dressed in white as she was told to do.
"When we got to the wedding, it was standard wedding attire and my girlfriend was mortified," he wrote. "When my best friend saw what I had done, he was cracking up and joked 'I guess you two are getting married instead of us!'"
His BFF's bride, however, was not amused.
"The bride was p—ed off and made a huge deal out of it," he said. "Normally she is really chill so I was surprised by her anger. My friend even tried to calm her down and told her it was just clothing and it doesn't change anything. Now I feel incredibly bad by what happened. I really didn't think it was a big deal. I personally think this is being blown out of proportion but I don't know."
It was nearly unanimously hard for the readers of Reddit to believe he thought what he did was OK.
One reader informed him he screwed up on multiple levels:
"You embarrassed your girlfriend by making her wear white to a wedding. You and your friend may love pranking each other, but she didn't sign up for being pranked at her expense at such a public venue. You p—ed off the bride by breaking one of the cardinal rules of weddings; only bride wears white. She may be 'really chill' most of the time but her wedding day is probably the one day anybody would not 'be chill.' And you're TA again for not realizing you screwed up and apologize to those involved."
We hope this guy can see how his "harmless" choice really impacted a lot of people.
