A 28-year-old woman will be getting married to her 29-year-old fiancé, and before they started planning their wedding, she had a wonderful relationship with her fiancé’s family.

After plans began though, her fiancé’s family started really trying to control the planning process while being disappointed in their choices.

She does think that in general, her fiancé’s family tries to low-key control him, which they’re not trying to do to her as well with wedding planning.

For instance, her fiancé’s family insisted she should get a vibrant pink wedding dress instead of a classic white one, and wouldn’t let it go when she politely declined.

“Or they decided they would gift us the catering service, and we explained that we had already hired it, then proceeded to throw a fit because they already paid and couldn’t cancel it,” she said.

“My fiancé spoke to me to convince me to just have two catering services but I held my ground and they managed to cancel the second service.”

Right now, she and her fiancé are moving in with one another, and of course, her fiancé’s family has a specific opinion on how they should decorate their new place.

Her fiancé’s family really loves one store in particular, yet she believes the furniture and products this store makes are nothing but “cheap.”

She doesn’t want to own anything from this store, as she would prefer to save her money to purchase higher quality things that won’t break, and her fiancé agrees.

“Last week his uncle bought a gift for us from this cheap furniture store, even though we have a wishlist from other stores that have a very wide budget (some articles, are even cheaper than what you can find in the cheap store), these were all articles we both chose and love,” she said.

“And I got very upset to know that once again his family is trying control how we furnish our place by getting us a present we didn’t even choose or we know if we even need it.”

She doesn’t want to open this wedding present at all and instead, she wants to send it right back to the store.

She hates this store so much that she doesn’t even want to see what the present is and see if she likes it at all.

She thinks if she does open the gift, it will be “giving in” to her fiancé’s family. Her fiancé doesn’t know if he’s on her side for this one, since he’s concerned returning the gift is borderline bridezilla of her to do.

Do you think she should open the present or just return it?
