A bride asked her cousin to dye her red hair as it didn’t fit her colour schemed wedding and the internet spoke as one

You’ll probably be familiar now with the subReddit ‘Am I The Asshole’ in which people share real-life situations just to double check they did the right (or wrong) thing.

It’s not often, however, that you get to hear both sides of the story. But in the case of a bride who asked her cousin to dye her red hair because it didn’t match her wedding’s colour scheme, that’s exactly what happened.

First, the bride (boo!)

And now, the cousin (hurray!)

And you won’t be surprised to learn that everyone agreed there was only one arsehole here. And it wasn’t the cousin.

Here are just a handful of the things the many, many people said in response.

‘HOLY SHIT I REMEMBER THAT POST AND YOUR COUSIN IS CRAZY!!
Seriously though, NTA [Not The Asshole]. Your hair is gorgeous and you shouldn’t change it for anyone, least of all a bridezilla! I’m glad your family is on your side :)’ Arry_Potter

‘NTA Your hair is beautiful and honestly I think she’s probably jealous of your hair which is why she wants you to change it.’ LadyLochan

‘WTAF?! You are absolutely NTA, your cousin sounds like an absolute loon.
Your hair is really beautiful btw, and even if it was flaming Merida red (which would also be awesome) it still wouldn’t be remotely reasonable for your cousin to ask you to dye it. Is she really jealous or something?
Three of my bridesmaids were redheads and they all looked like the beautiful, glowing mermaids they are so fuck your cousin for being a dick.
You definitely do not have to go.’ Ricoret

And what they told the bride.

‘YTA [You’re The Asshole] – This is her natural hair. If she had artificial coloring, I can see asking her to dye it again, but you are asking someone to change their natural hair color. Yes your wedding, but there are limits are you have exceeded the limit.’ riskmgmt

‘No, even if she had artificially colored hair, you don’t get to demand that someone change their hair color for your wedding. If all you care about is the aesthetic of your photos and not, you know, having your friends and family around for your big day, then just don’t invite them. Or ask your photographer to photoshop their hair to a different color in the pictures. Or fucking have everyone wear hats. But you absolutely do not get to ask your guests to change their hair color/weight/glasses/etc for your wedding.’ DaileDoe
