She’s Upset That Her Mom Wants To Wear A Dress For An Anniversary Celebration That’s Too Much Like Her Wedding Dress
A woman who is about to get married soon has a mom who is in the middle of getting ready for a big 25th-anniversary party.
She says her mom is essentially making the anniversary party into another wedding because it’s going to be that lavish.
She decided to make her wedding date just weeks away from her mom’s anniversary party, and she mentioned that she was fine with the events being so close together, but now she’s feeling upset that her mom is spending so much time planning that anniversary party.
“…I have felt hurt by how much she is focusing on her party and not my wedding,” she explained.
“Also she has become best best friends with my toxic hateful MIL, and honestly that hurts.”
So the biggest issue for this bride-to-be is that she already selected her wedding dress, which her mother-in-law and mom have both seen.
After she picked out her dress, her mom went out to get a dress for her anniversary party, and she was invited to go look too, along with her mother-in-law.
“My mom very much wants to feel like a bride again, and can’t stand that I’m the one actually getting married,” she said.
“I think wearing white to an anniversary party is pretty normal, but the dresses she picks are just so lacy and sparkly, though thank God, not floor length.”

While the trio was on their shopping trip, her mom did find a dress that she really wanted to get, however, this bride-to-be was upset that it was too much like her own wedding dress.
“The lace on the dress is very similar to my wedding gown and it made me feel weird,” she said.
“The vibe feels similar too. I simply asked my mom to make sure her dress isn’t too close to mine, because it is my special once-in-a-lifetime dress.”
Her mother-in-law accused her right then and there of being “insecure” and “jealous”.
“MIL immediately called me jealous and insecure,” she continued. “My mom started to whine about how she loves it and I should care about her feelings.”
“MIL gave her a weird pep speech about how I’m an adult and she doesn’t owe me s***. I said it was fine and not that big of a deal, and I had just been expressing a concern, but if it meant that much to my mom, just get it.”
Her mother-in-law is still upset with her for thinking her mom should be focusing more on her upcoming wedding than the anniversary party.
Meanwhile, her mom is left feeling bad that she was not excited about her dress.
