Am I the asshole for wearing a white wedding dress at a Western wedding?

Forgive me English isn't my first language, if I make a mistake, please don't attack my grammer.

In my country which I can't say where it's from it is illegal for anyone from that country to use the Internet. The government will find anyone who mentions their from my country, no matter how innocuous the context is will either kill them or send the to de̶a̶t̶h̶ happy camps.

I (27 F) went to my friend's 28(F) wedding in a beautiful white dress, with beads, laces, diamonds, jewels and a train that drags on the floor.

All the other guests where shrieking their lungs out and the bride looked like she wanted kill me. I calmly explained that in my culture wearing a white dress at a wedding is the guest wishing the bride and groom a happy long marriage, the more extravagant the dress the more luck you are wishing the couple. Wearing any other color means how you say in English "choke on a d*** and die and I will s*** on your corpse". She said this is (Western Country) and it is considered to be rude and attention seeking to wear a white dress at a wedding especially as one as flamboyant as mine and flashier than hers. I called her a racist narcissist for not respecting my culture and I refuse to be in wedding full of bigots who don't respect my culture.

Everyone including all 400 of the wedding guests and 2639 people who didn't attend the wedding most of them don't even know the couple have been exploding my phone and calling me an asshole. In my culture it is customary to give everyone you meet your phone number.

I didn't know that it was considered taboo to wear white at Western weddings as it is a custom in my culture. Reddit I am I the asshole or are they just racist?
