When Emily’s wedding invitation told guests to wear white, people were surprised. Everyone knows white is the bride’s color, so this request felt unusual. Later, Emily’s fiancé David explained that Emily’s mother Dorothy planned to wear her own wedding dress to overshadow the bride. Having pulled stunts before, Dorothy hoped to steal the spotlight once again.
But Emily had a plan that outsmarted her mother without drama. She secretly asked every woman to join her and wear white—from dresses to veils and gloves—creating a vision where Dorothy’s solo effort would disappear in a crowd. Soon, news traveled, and guests eagerly unearthed old white dresses, ready for their starring role.
When Dorothy arrived in a sparkling white gown and grand train, she was confident. But her boldness faded when she saw every female guest dressed just like her. Shocked and silent, Dorothy faced a room full of polite smiles instead of the attention she expected. Then, Emily appeared in a stunning red-and-gold gown that stole the scene beautifully.
Dorothy said little the rest of the day and left before dessert, missing out on the fun. Meanwhile, Emily and her guests enjoyed the celebration, dancing and laughing. Thanks to her clever thinking, Emily kept the focus on her special day and turned her mother’s plan upside down.
