Maybe some people just don't care that much about such petty things. But if this was the case and she showed up frumpy for the wedding, then I can understand, here.

You think every girl should be so vain to care that much about their appearance all the time? Maybe they'd rather just have people like them for who they are despite how they look. Some people just "aren't that pretty" but if they are your best friend, you shouldn't care how they look.

#102: Oh I see, you must want to play the "putting words in people's mouths" game! Okay, my turn: Based on your response, you must think that every girl should be so lazy as to walk around looking like a banshee all the time. Having put that aside, no, I don't think that everyone should be done up all the time, but I do believe in looking reasonably well-groomed when out in public. Not making a reasonable effort to look at least HALFWAY decent in one's day-to-day life is just lazy. Most people, myself included, like to be surrounded by aesthetically pleasing things.

You are shallow. Some people can't afford extra hair products, make up, expensive clothes, and stuff like that. And there are some people who just don't have time for it. You can't afford to sit for an hour in front of a mirror if you, say, have a huge family to take care of. And even if she just doesn't care about her appearance and is lazy, her "friend" could of at least been more tactful. Sorry, but even if it is your wedding day and you want everything to be perfect (and realistically speaking, it usually never turns out that way,) it doesn't give you some God-given right to act like a superficial bitch to your friends and family.

And the way I see it, most NORMAL people would value friends and family over aesthetics. I'm pretty sure the real meaning of a wedding isn't about everything looking immaculate. It's about celebrating your commitment to your SO with people that are close to you.

I didn't say that everyone should spend an hour in front of the mirror. I didn't say that everyone needs to have expensive makeup and hair products. There are hair products that cost from $2-5, and for most people, that works better than nothing. There is also a difference between cheap (ie, cheaply made, low quality) and inexpensive clothes. This has absolutely nothing to do with money, and everything to do with putting a (very very small) effort into how you present yourself to the world. That's like saying that it's okay to be fat because "some people can't afford to eat fruits and vegetables, so they have to eat off McDonald's dollar menu." I agree though, the bride definitely could/should have been more tactful. Even in this case, I don't think it's okay to call your friends ugly. I was just trying to show that in some cases, maybe the bride's actions could be a little justified.
