Dress codes may seem frivolous, but they tend to serve a purpose. If you don’t want to follow a dress code, it’s best to not attend that event.

What would you do if you set a dress code for an event but a few guests didn’t follow it? Would you let it go or confront them?

In this story, a bride-to-be got back at a couple gone rogue with the dress code.

Let’s see how the story plays out.

AITAH for quietly removing photos of a guest from our Engagement Party?

It was my Engagement Party recently and I told guests to avoid white, cream and light neutral colours.

When I arrived, I saw a guest and her partner in head to toe cream almost white.

They were friends of a friend.

I didn’t say anything on the night as i didn’t want to cause a scene.

But, she got back at them.

Instead, I removed their photos quietly.

I found out the friend got a hold of the photos posted them with a sarcastic comment.

Did she do anything wrong, or did the guests deserve to have their photos removed?

Here is what folks are saying on Reddit.

Coming uninvited is super tacky.

It makes sense, actually.

Antagonistic much? They were.

I’m not a fan, but it makes sense for photography.
