“Don’t marry him”: Bride-to-be shares wild altercation with her future in-laws over her wedding dress
A woman has been told to “run” from her fiancé after sharing a wild conversation she had with her future in-laws about her wedding dress.
The bride-to-be shared that ever since she was a child, she wanted to wear her mother’s wedding dress on her own big day.
However, the woman was then confronted by her soon-to-be in-laws, with drama ensuing over her wedding dress.
Taking to Reddit’s “Am I The A**hole?” page, the woman explained, "My mother's wedding dress has been passed down for generations and I remember being a little girl dreaming of walking down the aisle in it."
Despite her wishes to wear the family heirloom on her big day, she said things went south at a dinner at her sister-in-law’s (SIL) house when she "tapped her spoon against the glass and said that she had to make a toast."
"She then said she would be right back before going into another room and returning with a large plastic bag," the bride continues.
"Everyone seemed to be excited but I just felt confused."
As she "awkwardly smiled", her SIL opened the bag to reveal her wedding dress from her wedding two years earlier as her in-laws began clapping, as her future sister-in-law announced she wanted the bride to wear her dress at her upcoming nuptials.
"I tried to smile but I guess I didn't do a good job of hiding my disappointment and everyone began asking me what was wrong," the bride-to-be continues, adding that she tried to explain that she wanted to wear her mother's wedding dress.
At this point, her SIL began to cry and her in-laws began berating her, causing the bride to burst into tears and run outside.
"My fiancé didn't even come after me and after crying my eyes out on the steps for what felt like hours, he finally came outside and yelled at me to get into the car," she says.
Confused, she got into the car only for her fiancé to berate her for making "such a big scene" leaving him feeling "embarrassed in front of his family."
"He sounds so mad and he even said he couldn't believe he chose to marry such a 'bitchy c--t' (his exact words)."
The woman tried to explain how important it was to her to wear her mother's dress and that she had already promised her mother she would be wearing it on her big day.
"I felt like my fiancé's family planned this and put me on the spot thinking I wouldn't stand up for myself and just agree to wear SIL's dress," she continues.
"I don't think I did anything wrong but a part of me thinks I should have just gone along with it and then told SIL in private that I wouldn't be wearing the dress."
Hundreds of people were quick to comment on her post, suggesting that she “run” not only from her in-laws, but from her partner as well.
"Ma'am you need to leave that whole family behind including your fiancé," one said. "You just had a peek into your future if you carry on with this relationship."
"Don't you dare marry that man!!!" another said.
"The problem doesn't exist as the wedding shouldn't be happening anymore," another added.
One Redditor suggested she "be thankful that he is showing you who he really is before you marry him."
"You have just had a glimpse of what your future is going to look like if you go through with your wedding."
