When the invitations went out, I included a polite dress code request: “Guests are kindly asked to avoid wearing white, ivory, or champagne.” I thought this would do the trick.
It didn’t.
Two weeks before the wedding, I got a text from Judith with a picture of her planned outfit.
It was white.

Not just white — a shimmery, embellished sheath dress with feathers at the hem. She captioned it:
“Isn’t this darling? I thought it might match your theme!”
I stared at the screen. My hands shook.
