Re: In Bad Taste? :S
That’s kind of a tradition in my family. My family has a healthy sense of guilt because we don’t do things by halves, and always splurge on the wedding/valima outfits. To placate her battered conscience (“those poor starving kids in Africa!”), the bride usually wears her wedding clothes at the wedding of younger siblings or other close relatives. My mom, khalas and even cousins did this. They did tone the outfit down by wearing a little less jewellery and light makeup so they looked nothing like the bride even though in some cases, the outfits were red.
I don’t see anything wrong with this, and honestly don’t see what the big deal is.
