MIL Demands That Bride Pays for Her Wedding Hair, Makeup & Dress – Bride’s Mom Overhears & Confronts Her

Jessica is in the process of getting ready to walk down the aisle when her mother-in-law unexpectedly enters her room and demands that Jess pay the bills for her hair, cosmetics, and wedding garment purchase. Nevertheless, Jessica’s mother, who is protective of her, intervenes when she feels invisible.
Do you agree that a wedding is not a real wedding if there is no drama?

That being said, I was aware that the hair and makeup for my wedding would need to be done by experts because the concept of my wedding was old-school elegance.

Therefore, I did not anticipate that my mother, mother-in-law, and bridesmaids would be responsible for paying for this. I chose the theme.

Liam, my fiance, and I came to the conclusion that it would be most beneficial for me to surprise them and pay for it. As a result, I gave each of them a grand total of $350.

That was a kind and thoughtful act, right?
In any case, not everyone found it to be sufficiently sweet.

The day of the wedding, I was getting dressed in the hotel room where I was staying. When my almost-mother-in-law walked in, my maid of honour and I were trying to squeeze myself into the wedding dress of my dreams.
Despite the fact that she was Liam’s favourite person, she did not take the time to greet me or compliment my appearance. I did not require Samantha’s approval, but she did not take the time to do so. And to tell you the truth, giving a worried bride the compliment that she looks good wouldn’t have been a bad idea.

Anyway, my sweet mother-in-law throws an envelope in my direction. I am quite grateful.

“Aww, open it!” This is what my dearest friend and maid of honour, Sienna, had to say.

In the same way that Sienna did, I imagined that it would be a cute note or a small memento. Due to the fact that Liam was an only child, I was aware that Samantha possessed a wide variety of exquisite antique jewellery that would have been suitable for our theme.

If I had borrowed it, it would have been my something new.
I’m so sorry. It was not at all as lovely as I had anticipated it to be.

On the contrary, it was a detailed account of the costs associated with Samantha’s hair, cosmetics, and outfit.

$350 for hair

The cost of makeup is $300.

The dress costs $500.

Exactly what was her opinion of me?

The fact that she had done this an hour before I was supposed to walk down the aisle towards her son left me speechless. “Um,” I started to say, astonished by her actions.

My mother-in-law stood up and said, “Come on, Jessica,” while placing her hand on her hip. Your meagre sum of $350 was nothing at all! If you want to do anything that matter, you should pay the full amount of the bill.

As she stared at me, Sienna let out a gasp.

Despite the fact that I was wearing a lovely gown, I was feeling anything but bridal as I stood there and looked straight at Samantha.

Immediately before to my ability to retaliate, my mother entered the room that was adjacent to mine. It had slipped my mind that she had gone in to steam her outfit for the very last time.

“Not any more, Samantha. I don’t think you should speak to my child in that manner, let alone the woman who is going to marry your son’, Mom remarked.

Despite the fact that I had always believed that Samantha was making every effort to get along with me because of Liam, I had always feared that Samantha did not like me and that there was some underlying objective behind every interaction that each of us had with one another.

“Olivia,” Samantha remarked in a commanding tone, as if she were reprimanding that youngster.

“No,” it was my mother’s response. “Allow me to talk! Just as if he were my own child, I love your boy. Moreover, I am truly overjoyed that they were able to locate one another. However, you are not permitted to simply walk into the room of my daughter and demand that she pay your debt. She has already shown her affection and gratitude by presenting you with monetary gifts. That is not sufficient for you, how is that?

As I stood there in astonishment, hanging onto my shoes, I observed my mother. When my father was scolding us as children, she would always be on the opposite side of the house, not wanting to see or hear anything. She was never one to engage in confrontation, and even when she was a youngster, she continued to do so.
Nothing is owed to you by Jessica. You are going to apologise to my daughter, or else I will personally expel you from their wedding.

On my mother, Samantha fixed her gaze. It was almost as if I could feel the disdain coming in and covering up the delight in the room.

“Do you want me to call Liam?” I inquired in a kind manner. “Were you expecting me to call off the wedding?”

As Samantha turned her head to look at me, I noticed that she had the appearance of Liam’s nose on her face. It came to my attention that his eyes were the same colour as hers.

I had no idea that Samantha had a long-standing disdain for me. When she made the decision that she did not want me to marry him, I was unaware of it.

“So, what will it be?” I had arranged for our dressing rooms to have champagne, and Mom asked her when she was taking a sip of it.
After that, Samantha, upon realising that she was surrounded and exposed with no way out, stutteringly apologised in a manner that was not serious.

She said, “I’m going downstairs,” and she left! “I’ll just ensure the flowers and everything are in place.”

In her haste to leave the room, she forgot to take her envelope with her.
During the process of buttoning my dress, my mother inquired, “Honey, are you okay?”

It’s true, Mom. My response was, “I am prepared to get married.”

To tell you the truth, I was unsure of how I felt. Nevertheless, I was certain that Samantha’s prank would not be sufficient to convince me to leave Liam. Additionally, I was aware that he was waiting for me at the end of the aisle.
Aside from the fact that Liam and I had just returned from our honeymoon, Samantha has not been seen or heard from in months. I was totally forthright with him and told him everything that had taken place. As a result of his mother’s actions, he was appalled and did not offer any justifications.

Despite the fact that I am unsure of what may occur in the future, I shall maintain my distance from her.
