A man has been told by a friend that he "ruined" the bride's big day after he opted to wear a wedding dress - but he thought the event would be slightly different.

He had received an invite to a fancy dress party to celebrate his friend's engagement so felt it would be funny to wear a wedding dress from the movie Corpse Bride and thought nothing of it.

But when he arrived to the party where everyone was wearing costumes, the groom announced that the happy couple were actually getting married that day.

In the Reddit post, he said the bride was fuming over his costume.

The man, who remained anonymous, wrote: "A week ago I got a message from her for a small costume party she was hosting as a celebration for her getting engaged. I asked if there was a theme and she said there wasn't. I'm a cosplayer so I had a lot of choices.

"I thought it would be funny to go to an engagement party as the Corpse Bride. I arrived at her house yesterday and everything seemed normal. A few people complemented my costume and I was having a lot of fun."

When the groom announced the wedding would be taking place in the garden in 10 minutes, the man went straight to him and asked if he should change but he was told his outfit was fine.

"I trusted him and followed everyone outside. They got married and everything seemed good. The reception was just in their house again so everyone just walked back inside and picked up where they left off," he wrote.

"I got home and half an hour passed when my phone started getting notifications. I checked and it was my friend texting me. She was cussing me out and telling me how I ruined her wedding. I was really confused and asked what I did.

"She told me it was basic knowledge not to wear a wedding dress to a wedding. I reminded her I had no idea it was a wedding and that I asked her now husband if I should change and he said it was fine."

Both the bride and groom were fuming and said he should have changed regardless.

In response, many sided with the author and felt the backlash is unfair as he had no idea it was a real wedding.

One person wrote: "They had multiple chances to get you to change and they didn't take any of them so getting mad with you after the fact doesn't make any sense."

While another stated: "He even tried to check with the groom. Who now is lying. I fear for that marriage."
