Wedding rule number one: never upstage the bride.

Weddings are significant days.

The primary focus should always be the bride and groom, who are celebrating one of the biggest days of their life.

We all know the story of the classic "Bridezilla", but sometimes it's not just the bride who can be considered high maintenance.

Given that it's supposed to be the perfect day for the couple, it makes sense that they would do anything to make it exactly how they want it.

Weddings in every culture often involve a few traditions.

In many cultures, it is customary for the bride to wear a white dress.

That's why guests attending the big day should always avoid wearing white to a wedding.

The ladies in attendance should not try to upstage the bride.

A recent wedding guest has gone viral on TikTok for all the wrong reasons.

Not only did the guest rock up in a white dress that looked like a wedding dress, but it also looked eerily similar to the bride's!

Watch the video below:

The video has racked up over one-million views, and viewers have responded with utter disbelief.

The comment section is filled with people showing sympathy for the bride and putting the guest on blast.

Here are just a few of the comments:

"Y’all couldn’t chase her?? I would’ve understood if it was an evening dress that the bride was wearing, and she wore the same one, but this is legit a wedding gown.”
"No one had red wine with them?”
"Hayibo, even the hairstyle is kind of similar.”

May this serve as a reminder that if you attend a wedding as a guest, it is not about you.

A wedding is about something much more important than your image.

And who wants to be named and shamed on TikTok for millions to see?
