Bride Forcing Wedding Guests To Wear 'Funeral' Colors Praised Online

The internet was left in awe by a group of wedding guests who made a bride's dream come true, wearing all-black attire to her wedding, as requested, making the event look like a fashion show.

A video shared on TikTok on Monday by the pleased bride, under the username Ryendishner, shows all the guests wearing elegant black dresses to the event, looking like "runaway models," while making their big entrance at the venue.

The post also comes with a caption that says: "When you tell your guests all black formal attire for your wedding and they deliver!"

A study conducted in 2021 by The Knot anticipated over 2.6 million weddings across the United States in 2022, and the national average cost of a wedding to be around $28,000, or $34,000 including the engagement ring.

The average national cost of a reception venue is about $10,700, more than one-third of the total expenditure. Other big wedding expenses include a live band ($4,300), florist and rehearsal dinner (both $2,300) and a videographer ($1,900).

When it comes to wedding dresses, the national average is about $1,800. It also varies by region, with an average spend of over $2,000 in the Mid-Atlantic, and a much lower one in the Midwest, which is about $1,600.

While it is an unforgettable day for the bride and groom, you may wonder whether your guests are actually happy to attend your wedding. In 2021, according to The Knot, 50 percent of guests loved attending weddings, which was a significant increase from just 39 percent in 2019.

Moreover, 68 percent of guests are willing to spend more money on attending weddings, particularly on gifts (going from an average of $120 in 2019 to $160 in 2021).

The post quickly attracted a lot of attention across the platform, receiving over 17 million views and 3 million likes in just two days.

One user, Kristen, commented: "Everyone understood & passed the assignment." And speck634 wrote: "Some of them instantly became runway models."

Another user, Janet Campos, joked: "I'd probably have that one aunt show up in white saying she isn't wearing black cause it's not a funeral."

And Juli said: "I want everyone to wear the same color BUT dress their best [and] try to outdo me lol so we all look great and confident."

Adriannadalrymple commented: "How to have zero conflict on the dress code." And Kendal added: "Step 1: have friends that are stylish af. They all killed this."

Naky V ... nvcrochet_ pointed out: "And then there the two guests in the back that don't follow the instructions and go in white."

Newsweek reached out to Ryendishner for comment. We could not verify the details of the case.
