Every bride’s worst nightmare.

For many, the sound of wedding bells triggered excitement. But for one bride-to-be, her special day ushered in a bizarre request—a plea from her future mother-in-law to slip on her wedding dress!

No, you didn’t hear wrong; our narrator (Original Poster) was even more shocked than you are now. Apparently, the mother-in-law really loved wedding dresses and was obsessed with trying them on.

It started with subtle, then stronger pleas here and there, to which OP responded with a resounding no. But when she offered to sweeten the pot with a $100 bribe, OP shut it down for good—well, that was what she thought, at least.

In a plot twist that no one saw coming, OP returned home from work early, only to discover a scene that could rival the most riveting telenovela. 

The first cue that something was wrong was the alarmed look on her fiancé’s face. OP dashed into the room despite his attempts to stop her and caught her mother-in-law red-handed, standing tall in her perfect wedding dress.

Click! She immediately took a snapshot for evidence and then proceeded to lay down the law—full reimbursement for a new wedding dress, or the picture goes viral on the family group chat.

The mother-in-law ran out crying, while OP’s fiancé insisted she was overreacting. But OP didn’t think she was overreacting; she couldn’t even look at the dress now without feeling disgusted. 

She spent $3k on the perfect dress, and now it had been tainted. It was only fitting that the offender paid the damages. 

Was she wrong for not backing down? 

Let’s dig into the details

OP’s MIL has an obsession with wedding dresses and even offered OP $100 to try on her wedding gown

Unfortunately, OP came back early from work to find her MIL in her wedding dress. Worst of all, her fiancé was in on it

OP was adamant that her MIL must pay for the dress. However, her stance could put her relationship at risk

OP came back with an update

The final bit

Here’s how the Reddit community reacted to the story:

“Are you sure you want to marry this guy? He stood guard outside your bedroom so that his mother could try on your wedding dress.”

“NTA, but the problem isn't just your FML. It's your fiance. HE let her in.”

“NTA. Do not marry with this man without addressing and resolving this issue. It will literally only get worse from here.”

“Show the photo to everyone, cancel the wedding and dump his a**. You deserve better than that.”

“NTA. Your fiancee allowed her in, was trying to cover for her, and then blew up at you for being upset!”

Redditors were solidly team OP. They were alarmed that her fiancé spearheaded the entire operation, and then treated her like the villain despite crossing her boundaries. 

It was a clear lack of respect; many fear it might only worsen in the future. In a twist, OP’s fiancé offers to cover the dress cost—though with stipulations like exiting the family group chat.

Will this saga find a harmonious end? We only hope for the best for OP’s sake.
