It’s traditional to include a dress code in a wedding invitation. An increasing number of brides and grooms also organize their bachelor and bachelorette parties with a specific attire in mind. In fact, typically, one in five bachelorette parties require the guests to adhere to certain attire guidelines.
However, this bride’s dress code was impossible for her sister-in-law to adhere to. Since she was a Muslim woman, she refused to prance around in a revealing swimsuit, more so because two of the bride’s gay friends would be there. After being called “homophobic” and accused of causing a rift in the bride’s family, the SIL started wondering whether she was right to stick to her religious convictions.

“Sorry the SIL cares [more] for photo ops than friendships,” people commented, siding with the bridesmaid
Others felt she was “cherry picking” which religious traditions she adheres to already, so wearing a bikini shouldn’t be such a big deal
