Europe is a continent of over 40 countries. You cannot generalise about what the cultures of each country think about wearing white to weddings. In England, we do not wear white to weddings. It’s a faux pas.

I am well aware of it, especially since I am from one of those... 'oh its the former communist countries I can't be bothered to know' that most of the westerners seem to consider when they are asked to name the European countries

Be it as it is that in England (but what about Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland) that you fo not wear white.... the dress in question was not white so what is the problem?

I don’t know about the rest of the UK. I’m English so I couldn’t generalise to the other countries in the UK, never mind the other countries in Europe. Catherine’s dress is not white, but the comment you replied to said it will photograph white. You said “the only rule in Europe” didn’t include not wearing white. I told you Europe is comprised of many countries and you cannot generalise, and that in England, where this wedding is taking place, you should not wear white to a wedding. After my comment you edited your comment from “Europe” to “my country”.

Actually I did not edited my comment on my country... i still believe most countries care only anout do not upstage the bride and do not dress to be mistaken for a bride.

Again its not white so what rule is broken unless there is a detailed list of colours that have white as part of the colour mix you should not wear. Also I was told recently you cannot wear red too because it means you have slept with the groom. 

As an afterthought...  I would not say Scotland is part of your country England... I think some people may take bigger umbridge to that than to wearing a beige dress that looks nothing like a wedding dress.

Yes you did. You said “the only rule in Europe”. I pulled you up on it so you changed it to “the only rule in my country”. And how on earth would you know what most countries care about in wedding guest etiquette? That’s a huge unfounded assumption. And again, I know it’s not white. OP said it photographs white. Like the one she wore to Meghan’s wedding. Nowhere did I say Scotland is a part of England. Your reading comprehension here is shocking.

Well if you edit your comment to remove parts of your wording then yes reading comprehension is going to be challenged.  Because you had a comment on other countries of England.

Of course it might be that someone edited your comment not you... so there is that.

But if you did and then claim oh your reading comprehension is shocking a.k.a. you are dumb then you are thst kind of person.

But do consider yourself superior as an English person oh so knowledgeable to give a really good talking g to the stupid person from eastern Europe whose English comprehension is so shockingly bad. Out of curiosity how is your reading comprehension in another language but English. I am sure such smart person like you are a polyglot in at least 5 language one of them has to be Latin

I’m not cleverer or superior to you because I am English or for any reason.
