A Catholic bride refuses to let her relative cover up her alopecia at her wedding.

On Reddit’s r/wedding topic, a woman with alopecia shared her cousin’s disapproval of her wearing a headscarf or wig to her wedding. The bride, a devout Catholic, views her cousin’s alopecia as “a punishment from God for leaving” the church and wants everyone to see it.

The poster’s hair loss started when she was nine years old. Since then, she’s been wearing a headscarf to cover her head and avoid her “falling hair from ending up all over the place.” Despite claiming to have left the Catholic faith decades ago, the woman, now in her thirties, continues to face criticism from her family.

In response to the bride’s thoughts about her scarf, the lady stated, “She does not like me wearing it, calling it ‘a blight on my soul and a disgrace to the Lord!'”

When the “brainwashed” bride requested the lady to be her maid of honor, it was a bit of a surprise given that they hadn’t spent time together in several years. The poster stated that she made her decision because her cousin, to her annoyance, often asserts that “she is older and thus in charge.”

The bride wants her wedding party to be “young and full of life,” so she asks her cousin to be the maid of honor, on the condition that she not wear a scarf. When given a wig as an alternative, the bride declined.

Due to the limited time window in which she was questioned, the lady now wonders whether she was a backup choice. “We usually plan weddings a year or more in advance,” she stated. “It leads me to believe that her chosen MOH quit and she needs a replacement quickly.”

“I want to tell her it’s the wig or me not showing up, but I’m not sure whether I’m approaching it correctly,” she asked the forum. Any advice?”

Reddit users advised the woman to decline the offer in the comments section.

“If she refers to your alopecia as ‘punishment from God,’ I would not be her maid of honor,” one individual said. “She can stand up there by herself if that is how she respects others. She has transitioned from disregarding your comfort to openly insulting you.  Many Redditors, who are Catholics, believe the bride is reading from a different Bible because her behavior toward her cousin contradicts their understanding of the faith. “She’s mean, not to mention that there’s a centuries-old tradition of women covering their hair or head in the Catholic church, and none of the reasons have to do with punishment,” another individual commented. idual said. “Personally, I wouldn’t participate since she’s judging you as some sort of fallen woman.”
