Her Cousin Intentionally Bought The Exact Same Wedding Dress As Her, So She Called Her Out The Night Before Her Wedding
This 27-year-old woman has a cousin who is a year older than she is, and right after she mentioned she had a date for her wedding, her cousin decided out of nowhere that she was going to have her wedding one week earlier.
Since she’s getting closer and closer to her own wedding day, she’s spent the last several months shopping for her wedding dress.
Her cousin’s mom wound up asking if she could see a few of her wedding dresses, so her mom sent a video to her cousin’s mom of her wearing some of her final options.
She didn’t think twice about her mom sending the video to her cousin’s mom, as she thought it would help to make them feel more “included” in the process.
At that point, she had already put a deposit down for her wedding dress. Several weeks later, the boutique where she bought her dress called her up.
“They inform me that my cousin and her mother had come to their store with the video of me in my dress and asked to get something exactly like it,” she explained.
“One of their sales associates sold them the exact same dress in a cream color instead of white (which was my dress’s color).”
“The store owner was very apologetic and offered a refund since she realized two girls from the same family can’t wear the same dress—I will likely have a lot of the same guests at my wedding.”
She didn’t even know what to think except that perhaps this was all some kind of awful mishap. She instantly reached out to her cousin to ask about what wedding dress she ended up buying.

Her cousin completely avoided telling her the truth, and instead, her cousin manufactured crazy stories for weeks on end about not having a dress or finally having one that was being altered, so she couldn’t share photos of it.
On the evening before her cousin’s wedding day, her cousin asked her and her mom to come over to her house to help her with a couple of last-minute things.
While there, she and her mom asked her cousin for a peek at her dress. Her cousin relented and went to grab her dress to show them.
“Of course, it was the exact same dress,” she said. “I was extremely hurt and asked why she would go out of her way to steal my wedding dress, knowing full well her wedding is before mine, which means everyone would see it on her before me.”
“I said if she had spoken to me beforehand I might have chosen to let her have the dress, but she went behind my back and chose to lie about it repeatedly.”
“Things got heated, and I ended up leaving. I’m not sure if I even want to go to her wedding tomorrow after the stunt she and her mother pulled. Everyone in my family thinks I overreacted and should have kept my mouth shut until after her wedding instead of creating animosity the night before her big day.”
Do you think it was wrong of her to confront her cousin right before her wedding?
