Traditionally speaking, wearing red to a wedding is a huge no-no.

The cousin thought the bride was "gross" for dating a guy she previously had a fling with.

The thing is, the fling was a one-night stand, and the soon-to-be groom wasn't interested in pursuing a relationship.

Amazingly, a few days after the wedding, the bride received an email from her aunt, calling her a few mean names and saying she already stole her cousin's man; she didn't need to embarrass her cousin further by having other people wear red.

The bride didn't think she was petty. That title went to her cousin.

One person wrote, "The hilarious irony at your aunt calling you petty on your wedding day..."

"Was it not your cousin being petty in the first place that caused the whole "incident?" You handled it perfectly. Congrats on your marriage!" Many others agreed, too -- the cousin and aunt are totally in the wrong.
