Her Half-Sister Tried To Take The Wedding Dress Her Mother Had Been Saving For Her, So She Stole It Out Of Her Hands
Shortly after this sixteen-year-old girl was born, her father sadly passed away. On top of the tragic loss, her mother was also left with a mountain of debt.
And for a long time, it was just her and her mom fighting to make ends meet together. But, throughout all of their struggles, one thing her mother always refused to sell off was her wedding dress.
“She always talked about how it was her dream for me to get married wearing her dress or at least her veil,” she recalled.
Plus, the gown is absolutely stunning. It is a simple white dress that was custom handmade for her mother and paired with a long lace veil.
But, even though her mother always regarded the gown as “her dress,” all of that changed once her mom got remarried to a man named Brad last year.
Brad also has two kids, who are now her half-siblings. One is named Jake, who is eighteen, and the other is Tessa, who is twenty-six.
And now that Tessa just got engaged last week, she has been gunning for the dress.
It all began when her half-sister came over to show off her engagement ring and share her wedding plans.
Still, she knew that Tessa was aware of just how much her mother’s dress meant to her, so she was beyond shocked when Tessa began trying to take it.

“She threw out the idea of wearing the dress my mom saved for me at her wedding because ‘it would save them so much money.’ Then, my mom brought up the fact that she was not comfortable with that since she was saving the dress for me,” she explained.
Brad, though, did not take no for an answer. Instead, he began urging her mother to agree since she now has two wedding dresses– one from her first marriage and one from her marriage to Brad.
Then, Tessa jumped in again and began claiming it would make more sense for her to wear the first dress since she is taller and thinner.
Despite her mother still being on the fence, though, Brad would not stop pushing. Instead, he had the nerve to go and take the gown out of storage and present it to Tessa. And this understandably made her infuriated.
“I freaked out and grabbed the dress out of her hands. I told her she was not allowed to wear my mom’s dress and that she could get her own mother’s dress or buy her own. But, she was not allowed to wear the dress my mom has been saving for me,” she said.
And after the outburst, she locked herself in her bedroom with the dress. Since then, her mom has been texting her constantly and asking her to go outside to discuss everything with her and Brad.
In the meantime, though, Brad has continued calling her a spoiled brat, and Tessa has been demanding an apology and the dress back.
So now, she feels awful about how she acted and is not sure if her outburst was an overreaction. Nonetheless, she still does not want to give up the last piece of her father to “a stranger” and is wondering what to do.
Do you think taking the dress back was a reasonable reaction? What would you do if you were in her shoes?
