Jacob Samuels' mother was the first person to ask. She wanted his opinion on a couple of dresses she could wear to his July 23rd wedding to his husband Sloan Danenhower at the Old Lyme Beach Club in Old Lyme, Connecticut. As she described the dress that most caught her eye—it was a white or ivory dress with a lacy pattern to it—it seemed as if she almost immediately regretted bringing it up, Samuels says.
"She said something like, 'Will I look too bridey? I don't want to give that impression. I won't even go with it,'" Samuels says.
At least five more female guests broached the subject of wearing white. It was a surprising and unexpected question that neither Samuels nor his husband Sloan thought about when planning the details for their wedding day.
"Because they knew it wasn't a bride and a groom getting married, they weren't sure how to approach what normally would be a definite no," he says. "If it had been me and a woman...a [female guest] would never had dared to wear a white dress."
