A wedding is all about harmony and cohesiveness. For many couples, it’s supposed to be their perfect day, so every detail has to be to a T. Take outfits, for example: at least one third of couples in the U.K. prefer bridesmaids to wear dresses that match in style. But this bride faced a different kind of matching outfit dilemma.
Her cousin asked to see her wedding dress so she could match her 3-year-old daughter’s outfit to it. The bride thought this was a bit irregular, as the girl wasn’t her daughter and the two of them matching would probably confuse other people. So, she asked people online how she could let her cousin down gently.

Hi there, fellow pandas! As a person (over)educated both in social sciences and literature, I'm most interested in how we connect and behave online (and sometimes in real life too.) The human experience is weird, so I try my best to put its peculiarities in writing. As a person who grew up chronically online, I now try to marry two sides of myself: the one who knows too much about MySpace, and the one who can't settle and needs to see every corner of the world.

A rare time when I think our small coterie of "This post is 10 years old! That's like 500 generations of wall lizard!" Pandas might actually wish this post WAS 10 years old, because I myself very much want to know "what will happen" when OP's wedding rolls around - will Lily show up in a white dress? A wedding dress? Will Lily try other shenanigans to clap eyes on OP's dress? Will she simply dress Mia in a creepy 3-year-old child's version of a wedding dress? XD tl;dr I wish this wasn't such a "fresh" post, because I feel like something dramatic is going to happen at the wedding, lol.
