A stressed-out bride-to-be recently stirred up Redditors when she revealed that her groom had exchanged her wedding dress for one that his mom picked out. Here is the full story of a flap that divided two families.
Weddings Are Hard!
Grace is a 28-year-old woman who is set to marry her 33-year-old fiancé later in the year. They have been working through wedding plans for a while, and it’s been pretty stressful overall.
She Wants to Be in Control
A big part of the problem is that Grace’s future mother-in-law wants to be involved every step of the way. She keeps telling Grace she has a specific “vision” for her son’s wedding.
The Dress That Broke the Camel’s Back
Until recently, Grace could keep the situation under control and work through any small disagreements with her fiancé or his mother.
But when it came time to pick out her dress, all hell broke loose.
They Made It a Party
Grace was already planning to take her own mother and some friends along to shop for her dress, and then her future mother-in-law insisted on coming along, too.
While it cramped Grace’s style a little, it wasn’t that big of a deal, so she said OK.
She Was the Odd Man Out
Fortunately, Grace found the perfect dress, and her friends and mom agreed wholeheartedly with her choice. But her fiancé’s mom had other ideas.
She Had a “Vision”
The future mother-in-law picked out a dress that Grace considered to be a little creepy and that she certainly didn’t want to wear to her wedding.
But the older lady said it was part of her “vision” for the ceremony.
Thanks, but No Thanks
Grace tried to be polite and thanked her mother-in-law-to-be for taking the time and care to chip in her opinion.
But she explained that she had already picked out what she considered to be the perfect dress.
Her Dream Came True
Grace bought her dream dress, and the party headed home. She didn’t think anymore about the conversation with her future mother-in-law until that evening.
Then the Nightmare Started…
Apparently, her future mother-in-law had given her son an earful about her afternoon out with Grace.
They Looked the Same to Him
When he got home that night, Grace’s fiancé was upset and ranting about how she had mistreated his mother.
He said she should honor his mom’s wishes since the two dresses were so similar.
She Ended It Quickly
Grace said that the dresses weren’t at all similar and that she had found the dress she loved, end of story!
They argued a little bit more and then dropped the conversation.
It Just Wouldn’t Die
Once again, Grace thought the issue was behind her until she got home the next day.
Her Dress Had Gone and Replaced by an Imposter
Grace was shocked to find that her wedding dress was gone, replaced by the one her future mother-in-law had visions about.
He Made the Switch Without Her
When she confronted her fiancé, he admitted to making the swap.
She Packed Her Bags
Needless to say, Grace was livid, and they argued fiercely that night. She ended up leaving the house to stay with a friend.
It Divided Her Family
When she told her parents about the dress swap, Grace’s mother was furious. But her dad said she should suck it up and go with the flow to keep the peace.
She’s Not Sure What to Do Next
Now both sides of the family are filled with turmoil, and Grace wonders what the right path forward is.
He Shouldn’t Never Have Gone Behind Her Back!
Reddit commenters overwhelmingly think that she should get to choose her own dress.
And most of them think her future husband was totally wrong for going behind her back to swap out dresses.
Run for the Hills!
Several think she should cancel the wedding and run for the hills. Even the ones who don’t go quite that far warn that this could be a preview of her married life.
