Her Stepdaughter Wants To Wear Her Dead Daughter’s Wedding Dress But It’s Making Her Uneasy
A 49-year-old mom says she met her stepdaughter named Zoey 2 and a half years ago. Zoey is 23-years-old and she’s not all that close to her, especially since she doesn’t live nearby.
5 months ago, she married Zoey’s dad in a tiny ceremony.
She and her husband thought it would be best to not have a big wedding, due to the fact that her 26-year-old daughter Lauren recently died of sepsis.
She clearly is still grieving and not over Lauren’s abrupt passing.
“It was so sudden. She was doing okay and was getting ready for her wedding that was supposed to happen the same month she passed away,” she explained.
“We still don’t know what went wrong. We were devastated, to say the least. Her fiance had a hard time adapting to the new normal.”
“I still have contact with him. We’re very close.”
After Lauren passed away, she ended up with a lot of her personal belongings, and she also now has the dress Lauren was supposed to wear on her wedding day.
Lauren’s wedding dress is extremely special to her, and she keeps it safe so nothing happens to it.

She went on to say that Zoey will be getting married this upcoming April. As she was discussing wedding dresses with Zoey, out of the blue Zoey inquired about Lauren’s wedding dress.
Zoey mentioned that she had happened to see Lauren’s dress several times and she wanted to see it again at that moment.
She agreed to let Zoey see, and then Zoey surprisingly said she wants to wear Lauren’s wedding dress to her own wedding.
Understandably, this made her feel uneasy and she said she did not like the idea. Zoey pushed back, going on to say that she needed to change things about Lauren’s dress like the size of it so she can fit in it and the style of it so it better suits her.
She had a tough time hearing Zoey say these things about Lauren’s wedding dress, and she again told Zoey she could not let her wear it.
Zoey kept pressing her, even offering to pay for it, but that’s not the point. The dress is highly sentimental to her.
“She argued saying I was making things complicated and it was alright since she too is my daughter,” she said.
“She asked if I don’t love her as much I told her my love for her is different but she threw a fit calling me unfair and unreasonable to still say no.”
If this doesn’t make your jaw hit the floor, just wait. Her husband then inserted himself into the issue, and backed up Zoey, saying he doesn’t get what the problem is.
She attempted to get her husband and Zoey to stop talking about it, but the thing is, they can’t. They are now constantly bringing this up to her and basically begging for the dress.
They took things further, trying to insinuate that maybe Lauren would want another woman to wear the wedding dress she was supposed to have since she can’t do that anymore.
This was the breaking point for her, and she snapped at them. She still is telling them no, and other people in her life are weighing in on the situation and telling her she’s overreacting.
Some people are even pushing her to let Zoey make positive memories in Lauren’s dress, but it won’t be Lauren’s exact dress because Zoey wants to change so many things about it.
