She’s Pretty Sure Her Mother-In-Law Stole Her Wedding Idea So Now They’re Not Speaking To Each Other
Next December, this woman is getting married and was so excited to plan her perfect day. She did not usually get along with her fiancé’s mother, but they made it work in the past.
Now though, the woman believes that her future mother-in-law stole all of her wedding ideas.
“My future mother-in-law has a seventeen-year-old stepdaughter who used to go to an elite charter school,” the woman explained.
“We are in a conservative state, but none of us are politically conservative. Her stepdaughter is a lesbian who has been out for about a year but kept it quiet at school.”
The stepdaughter’s school has a winter formal every year. This year, she decided to ask a girl to the dance.
When the conservative school and PTA heard about it, though, they became outraged.
“The situation got really bad. My mother-in-law’s husband and his ex are currently getting lawyers involved. Her stepdaughter was pulled out of that school, and she did get a lot of support from students. I am totally on her side and have expressed support,” the woman explained.
Out of support, the woman’s mother-in-law decided to throw her stepdaughter a party the same night as the school’s winter formal.
While the woman had absolutely no problem with this, she was shocked when she saw photos from the event.

“My mother-in-law pretty much stole my wedding ideas. The party was Saturday, and it looked like something straight off my Pinterest board,” she said.
The woman ended up calling her mother-in-law, who admitted to seeing her wedding ideas. Apparently, she figured those were her stepdaughter’s favorite colors and “just ran with it.”
However, the woman also noted that her mother-in-law is “lazy as hell.”
“I yelled at her that she stole my ideas when she knows my wedding is coming up. She said to chill, and that she told from Pinterest, not me,” the woman said.
“I defended my position because I feel like people might see the overlap and question it.”
This woman was over-the-moon excited for her wedding and is hurt that she did not get the chance to use any of her own ideas. But, her mother-in-law was not hearing her perspective.
“She ended up calling me dumb, saying I was being selfish and that I should think of all the poor LGBTQ teens,” the woman said.
Now, she and her mother-in-law are not speaking, the woman’s fiancé is taking her side, and the wedding is quickly approaching.
How would you have felt in this situation? Do you think the woman’s reaction to her mother-in-law was warranted?
