A fancy dress enthusiast has told the internet how he upset his friend by accidentally attending her wedding in a Corpse Bride costume.
The 19-year-old male shared his story with social media website Reddit, asking if he was in the wrong. He explained that his friend, 20, invited him to a "small costume party" she was hosting to celebrate her recent engagement.
The keen cosplayer added that he asked his friend if her party had a theme and was told there wasn't one. He said he decided, because of the occasion, it would be amusing to turn up dressed as the title character from Tim Burton's 2005 stop-motion animation Corpse Bride.
In a post on Reddit u/DanWantsDeath wrote: "I arrived at her house yesterday and everything seemed normal. A few people complemented my costume and I was having a lot of fun.
"After ten minutes my friend’s fiancé walked out in a black tuxedo and announced this was actually their wedding. Apparently my friend saw a video of someone doing this and wanted to do the same.
"He asked us all to go to the back yard for the ceremony to begin. I went straight to him. I asked him if I should quickly go home and change my outfit and that I would get back before it started. He told me it was fine since I didn’t know this was the wedding.
"I trusted him and followed everyone outside. They got married and everything seemed good. The reception was just in their house again so everyone just walked back inside and picked up where they left off. I tried talking to my friend and celebrating with her but she kept making excuses to not talk to me.
"I assumed it was just because she was tried from the big day and wanted some alone time. I didn’t bother her after that and the party soon ended.

"I got home and half an hour passed when my phone started getting notifications. I checked and it was my friend texting me. She was cussing me out and telling me how I ruined her wedding. I was really confused and asked what I did.
"That only made her more angry. She told me it was basic knowledge not to wear a wedding dress to a wedding. I reminded her I had no idea it was a wedding and that I asked her now husband if I should change and he said it was fine.
"She didn’t respond, but I got a text from her husband. He asked why I would tell her he said it was fine. I told him he said it was fine. Then he said how I should have changed anyways and it’s my fault that the two are now fighting over this.
"I’ve tried texting her that I wad sorry and if I had known I wouldn’t have done it. I woke up today and saw her and her husband have blocked me on everything."
Redditors leaped to the poster's defence, reassuring him he hadn't done anything wrong. ANBU_Black_Ops wrote: "The facts of this are pretty simple: 1. You were told this is a costume party so you wore a costume; 2. When asked about a theme you were not given any restrictions; 3. They sprung a surprise wedding on you; 4. Once you realized this you asked the groom if you should go home and change and the groom said no.
"They had multiple chances to get you to change and they didn't take any of them so getting mad with you after the fact doesn't make any sense."
QueenOfTheSnarkness agreed, saying: "You were told it was a costume party for a engagement celebration, choosing a corpse bride costume makes sense. You gave the groom a chance to tell you if you needed to change when you found out it was a suprise wedding.
"It's not your fault he chose to throw you under the bus when the bride got upset. You did nothing wrong."
