Woman ‘Worked Hard’ to Pay For Her Wedding Dress, Comes Home Earlier but Sees Fiancé ‘Freaked Out’

The mother of the soon-to-be bride requested to try on the wedding gown when the woman bought it, but the fiancé declined. When she got home from work one day, her fiancé was acting strangely and was attempting to keep her from going into her bedroom.

Many ladies spend a great deal of time meticulously organising their wedding because they view it as one of the most significant days of their lives. They picture themselves wearing a stunning white gown and making their way down the aisle to the altar, where their true love is waiting for them.

On their wedding day, brides like being the centre of attention. They can never conceive letting someone else try on their wedding dress or sharing the spotlight with anyone. The woman in today’s story felt the same way, but her prospective mother-in-law was unable to comprehend her position.

A Reddit member going by the handle “Repulsive_Scheme1359” asked a question after having an odd encounter at home. She said she was getting ready for her wedding with her fiancé before questioning other people if she had made the correct decision.

The prospective bride purchased her wedding gown a few weeks prior to penning the post. She paid $3,000 on the dress, not realising she wouldn’t be the first to wear it, since, like other women, she wanted to appear stunning on her special day.

The woman’s fiancé’s mother mentioned that she greatly liked wedding dresses and wanted to try the dress on shortly after the woman bought it. Her prospective mother-in-law persisted in “pestering” the woman for refusing to try on the dress, even offering to give her $100 to do so.

When the woman got home from work one day, she was shocked to see her fiancé there. “He freaked out after seeing me and tried to prevent me from going into my room while trying to text somebody on his phone,” said the woman.

Sensing something was off with his behaviour, she went into her bedroom to see her future mother-in-law there. The woman was taken aback to discover that his fiancé’s mother was donning her freshly purchased bridal gown!

What Was the Future Bride’s Reaction?

The Redditor recalled, “I took out my phone right away and took a picture of her.” She was astounded by her future mother-in-law’s boldness and threatened to show the family the photo if she didn’t give her the money for a new dress.

Her fiancé believed she was overreacting, so the Redditor gave her three days to pay for a new wedding dress. The mother-in-law broke down in tears and exited the room, followed by her son, who started yelling at his fiancée, accusing her of being hurtful and only wanting to try on the dress. The user commented on Reddit:

“But I refused to listen to him because, in my opinion, the dress should only be worn by the bride and the bride only.”

The woman went on to say that she was “disgusted” by her bridal gown and that she no longer wanted to wear it. Her fiancé, on the other hand, felt that she was treating his mother like an enemy, and this led to a heated confrontation between them.

The woman took offence because her fiancé’s mother wore the outfit without second thought, despite the fact that she had “worked hard” to purchase it. The woman’s family, however, thought she overreacted and worried the argument would destroy her bond with her fiancé and his mother.

What Was Her Fiancé’s Proposed Solution?

The woman’s fiancé soon contacted to offer a fix for the issue. He requested the woman to apologise to his mother in addition to offering to pay for the dress. In addition, he asked her to give him her phone so he could remove the photo of his mother.

The woman revealed that he also requested that she “swear” that she had no other copies of the picture that she could give to her relatives. She continued, saying:

“He asked that I quit his family group chat and log out of Facebook for at least a month.”

The woman claimed that the major reason she wasn’t sure whether to accept her fiancé’s demands was because she didn’t want him to cover the cost of the dress. Since his mother was the one who wore it, she wanted her to foot the bill.

Do you believe the woman made the correct decision? Should she settle the argument and accept her fiancé’s demands? Should she ask his mum to cover the cost of the outfit instead? Post your ideas in the comments area.
