She Really Doesn’t Want To Give Up The Wedding Dress Of Her Dreams So Her Fiancé’s Family Said They Won’t Be Going To The Wedding
A woman who is set to be getting married soon says that she really has never gotten along well with her soon-to-be mother-in-law.
Things between them are not the worst, but they’re not the best either. She knows her mother-in-law does not like her at all, and since her fiancé is quite tight with his loved ones, this has caused some issues.
When she decided to go shopping for her wedding dress, she purposely did not ask her mother-in-law to be involved, since they don’t get on well.
In an effort to make her mother-in-law not end up feeling entirely excluded though, she decided to let her see a photo of the dress she ended up picking out for her wedding day.
“My dress is a beautiful flowy beachy dress, but not technically a wedding dress and could be ordered in color,” she said.
“I bought it from a small local boutique that we both love.”
“MIL said that I can’t wear the dress because she bought the same one for her 50th birthday which is two weeks after my wedding.”
“MIL does have the dress though in a mint green color (there is enough detailing that it is still clearly the same dress) and she has the receipt to prove she got it first.”
Well, over-the-top kind of parties to celebrate birthdays are a big deal where they live, and her mother-in-law definitely has put up a lot of money and time to plan her birthday bash.

Obviously she didn’t intend to end up with the exact same dress as her mother-in-law, just in a different color, and so she did not want to return her dream wedding dress.
Her mother-in-law protested that all her guests would believe she’s trying to imitate her if she ends up having the same dress just a few weeks after their wedding.
She told her mother-in-law that she felt badly for her, but she was still going to be wearing her wedding dress.
After she explained all that, her fiancé’s family freaked out on her and then refused to come to the wedding.
All in, around 15 of her guests are saying they aren’t coming, which is a lot. Even her fiancé’s sisters said they will not be bridesmaids anymore, and they all also blocked her fiancé from being able to contact them.
Her fiancé’s stepdad and his biological father have all not sided with her either, and they berated him for her wedding dress situation.
Her fiancé’s family has also excluded them from events since then.
In light of how everything has spiraled out of control, this bride-to-be decided she only had one choice…to return her dream wedding dress.
She also offered an apology to her mother-in-law, and while she’s convinced her fiancé’s family will never let this go, she does think she might be able to smooth things over with her mother-in-law.
