Another day, another wedding drama posted to social media!
Now, many of us are aware of just how important the wedding dress is to the bride. Many women search for hours and spend thousands of dollars to make sure they have the perfect dress for their big day.
After all, wearing a beautiful gown and walking down the aisle with everybody looking on in awe is a moment many brides dream about.
Related - Not all weddings go to plan, such as this groom's horrendous reaction of seeing his bride for the very first time:However, one bride-to-be has taken to Reddit to reveal that her dream wedding dress as been ruined - by her own mother-in-law.
Sharing her story in the 'Am I The A**hole' (AITA) subreddit, a Redditor with the username 'aitathrowaway566' took to the social media site to share her story.
She titled her tale: "AITA For demanding my fiancé and his mom to pay for a new wedding address?"
The 26-year-old bride-to-be then explains that she and her fiancé, 28, have been engaged for four months, and were planning to have their wedding on October 18.
However, sticking to the cliché, the woman was having trouble with her mother-in-law and the wedding dress.
The Redditor wrote:
"My future mother in law kept annoying me and sending me suggestions for choosing the right wedding dress, and said that she knew better and tried to get me to approve of wedding dresses that she chose and when she couldn't enforce her decision she demanded that I take her with me to buy my wedding dress so she could have an opinion.
After the mother-in-law declined the bride's invitation to go dress shopping with her, the bride explains that she was "able to find a really nice dress"
"Although it cost me a little over what I saved up for, but it was worth it," she writes, adding:
"I made some changes to it and it was perfect, it arrived to my apartment at the end of the week, I made sure it was stored in a safe place so it doesn't get ruined."
However, after returning home last week, she discovered that both her her fiancé and wedding dress were missing.
As the bride explains: "I called him immediately knowing that he must've taken it to show it to his mom since she continuously asked to see it and refused to have me send her pictures of it on Facebook."
The bride-to-be was then left fuming when her fiancé confirmed that he had taken it to show his mom.
"He said he was gonna be home in 30 minutes after he went to the supermarket," she wrote, as she continued:
"I waited for longer than I had to and then when he arrived I ran to get my dress that was buried underneath grocery bags, I took it to check on it and it's zipper was broken and the dress itself (fabric) was stretched out."
She added:"My mother in law must've tried it on, because it looked ruined, the straps were almost loose, I had to call my mother in law when my fiancé told me his mom and sister took turns to try it on, I was absolutely livid.
"She told me she did nothing wrong and that I was making a big deal out of it."
Oh boy... Anybody else seeing any red flags in this relationship or is it just me?
Our bride - who is understandably at the end of her tether here - continues: "She said she'd get a replacement for the broken zipper, but I told her to pay for a new dress since it was stretched out and no longer fitting.
"She refused and said that I probably wasn't happy with my dress choice and wanted to her to pay so I could get a new one, I yelled at her for trying it on and ruining it."
After her own mother offered to pay for a new dress, the Redditor says: "I just hate it now that someone else wore it before me.
"I'm mad at both of them and seriously considering postponing the wedding."
Of course, other Redditors were quick to support the distressed bride, with some people saying she should call the wedding off entirely.
One person wrote: "Girl do you hear yourself?? Your fiance took your wedding dress without permission and allowed multiple people to try it on!
"Do you understand how disrespectful and inappropriate that is? You not only have a bad mother in law problem, you have a HUGE fiance problem. Needless to say, id be doing more than postponing"
Another person commented: "Who the hell does something like that? That is wrong on so many levels I can't even with them. Definitely start shopping ... FOR A NEW FIANCE!"
A third user agreed, writing simply: "You don’t need a new dress you need a new fiancé. NTA (not the a**hole)."
So, what do you think our bride should do? Let us know in the comments section!
