Do you think it’s possible for a guest to upstage the “host” at an event through their bling (eg at a wedding)?

I am from an old money family. British aristocracy actually. We don’t believe in ever upstaging the bride at her own wedding.

Let me see if I can find photos of myself at the last two weddings I attended.

Your posts made me laugh so much. Thank you!

Ah, yes, here they are. This was at my cousin’s wedding. It was a rather formal affair. Even so I went light on the jewelry “bling” as you Americans call it so as not to call attention to myself:

You know erously i never thought of big hats being about outshining the bride
although it could out shine the mother of the bride or mother of the groom

But just like the Indian lady who went to the wedding with the glamouress head orniment i now see how it would be viewed as such from another culture even if that culture was 70% similar to my own
