His Girlfriend’s Unusual Dress Idea for a Friend’s Wedding Leads to Unexpected Fallout and End to the Relationship.
The Original Poster (OP) faces a delicate dilemma when his girlfriend insists on wearing a controversial “rat wedding” dress to a friend’s wedding. The conflict hits a breaking point when the girlfriend discovers OP’s anonymous post seeking advice on Reddit, leading to a confrontational showdown and an unexpected outcome.
The Unconventional Fashionista
OP’s girlfriend, Nat, has a unique style akin to Harley Finkle from Wizards of Waverly Place. She loves incorporating memes into her wardrobe, which OP always found endearing. However, a new twist arises when she decides to create a funky dress for their friend’s upcoming wedding.
The Meme-Dress Proposal
Nat’s proposed dress includes stuffed rats, pride flags, and a bold “I support gay rats” slogan. OP’s friend, the groom, isn’t fond of Nat’s eccentric fashion sense. OP fears that this particular dress might cause a disruption at the wedding, introducing a new conflict into their lives.
Making a Statement
Nat believes in making bold, ideological public statements and sees no issue in wearing such a bold, controversial dress to OP’s friend’s wedding. OP describes Nat as a “free spirit” who does not take well to being told what to do.
The Disagreement
OP suggests to Nat that the dress might not be appropriate for the occasion. Nat, however, perceives this as an attempt to quench her creative spirit and becomes upset. The wedding is a month away, leaving ample time for Nat to reconsider her outfit choice, adding tension to the situation.
The Anonymous Post
To seek advice, OP creates a throwaway account and posts their predicament on Reddit. While not explicitly stated, OP hopes that the anonymity will prevent Nat from discovering the post. However, a new twist ensues when Nat unexpectedly stumbles upon the thread.
The Unwanted Discovery
Despite OP’s efforts to maintain anonymity, Nat finds the Reddit post. OP realizes that their description might have been too specific, leading Nat to their post. Nat’s discovery adds another layer of conflict to their relationship.
The Confrontation
Following the discovery of the post, OP and Nat have an intense conversation about the situation. Nat is furious at OP for discussing their private matter publicly. Despite OP showing her the comments—especially those from the LGBTQIA community—Nat refuses to see her dress as inappropriate.
The Misunderstanding
Nat views her dress as a show of support for the LGBTQIA community. However, OP interprets it as an insensitive gesture. The difference in perspectives deepens the conflict between OP and Nat.
The Breakup
The dispute culminates in OP and Nat breaking up and parting ways. OP, unable to reconcile Nat’s insensitivity with his feelings, decides to end their relationship. This unexpected twist leaves OP single and contemplating attending the wedding alone.
The Disclosure
After breaking up with Nat, OP decides to share the Reddit post with his friend, the groom. The friend finds the situation amusing but admits he would have expelled them from the wedding had Nat worn the dress. The friend’s reaction reaffirms OP’s decision to break up with Nat.
The Single Invitee
OP is now preparing to attend the wedding as a single man. Without Nat and her contentious dress, he anticipates a conflict-free celebration. However, the prospect of attending alone introduces a new challenge for OP.
The End of the Rat Dress Saga
With Nat out of the picture, the ‘gay rat wedding’ dress will no longer be making an appearance at the wedding. The absence of the dress and the uproar it would have caused offer a resolution to the main conflict. Yet, this also leaves a lingering question about how the wedding will unfold without this disruptive element.
The New Beginning
After the breakup and the controversy, OP is starting his life anew. Attending the wedding alone will be his first step as a single man. This development sets the stage for potential new twists in OP’s life post-breakup.
Was The Man’s Behavior Appropriate?

One reader said, “That seems incredibly inappropriate to wear to a wedding.”
Another responder wrote: “To be fair, it’s not that you aren’t letting her; you can’t stop her, and you’re not pretending you can. Nobody can paint you as being controlled in this.”
A different person states, “The wedding is not about her. She should not wear anything inappropriate; her planned dress is 100% inappropriate.”
