HER MOTHER-IN-LAW HAD CUT THE WEDDING DRESS OF THE BRIDE INTO PIECES, SHE FOUND HER DRESS, DESTROYED IN HER HOUSE
Bride-to-be had shared her story on Reddit, as she stated that her mother-in-law had destroyed her wedding dress. She had asked what she should do regarding her situation.
The woman had stated that her MIL was always not welcoming towards her. “This might sound petty or like something I should just move on from, but I just can’t. my MIL was always kind of off to me. I wouldn’t say we had a bad relationship, but she wasn’t very welcoming or interested. When I got engaged she didn’t seem happy for us. I didn’t include her in wedding planning much because we weren’t close. MIL’s mom asked me to so I included her in one thing and she didn’t speak the whole time.”
Then, she learnt that her MIL had destroyed her wedding dress, as her FIL had said that it is okay to left her dress at their home. “I stored my dress at their house. FIL said it was ok. Then I got the call a couple of days before the wedding that she had cut the dress into a million pieces. I literally felt like I was going to throw up. In my mind no one could be that evil and the dress was fixable, so we went over there and no, she legit cut it into a million pieces. I really think if my husband didn’t hold me back, I would have fought her. We still got married but I had to wear a cheap replacement and I couldn’t stop crying the entire morning, so it was ruined for me.”
Then her MIL had expressed her feelings. “MIL said she did it because she didn’t get a wedding, and because she never got “her turn” and nothing was ever about her. She didn’t seem to feel bad. She seemed kind of in shock she had done it, but no remorse. Trigger warning—– the day after she did it she attempted suicide and was brought to the hospital. She got 30 day impatient and I don’t know details but her dad was arrested because of something she said. FIL was also taken in for questioning but released, and she filed for divorce the day she got out.”
She had concluded her story as, “MIL and I are pretty much no contact, but i occasionally see her at family events. She apologized once but didn’t seem sorry and when my husband said he didn’t want to talk to her she didn’t seem to care. She no longer talks to my husband or her daughter, but like I said we see her occasionally, and i’ve heard she was in intense therapy for about a year. She just got engaged and the ring is huge and gorgeous, guy seems perfect, and I am just so overwhelmed by how much I hate her and how angry I am. People keep saying it wasn’t her fault, she was sick, but I’m at the point where I don’t even care.”
Here are some of the comments of the Redditors.
“What she did to you was horrifying but I feel like for your own sake you should stop keeping up with her life updates and showing up to things she’s invited to. You could also have a ceremony to renew your vows to your husband and finally get to wear a lavish dress since yours was cut up”
“She more than likely has a mental illness that isn’t being properly treated, but that is no excuse for her behavior or the way she treats you and your husband. It also doesn’t mean that you are obligated to forgive her and move on. She went out of her way to ruin your wedding day out of jealousy and malice. You have every right to be upset. I fully support no contract for the both of you, and if you have children I wouldn’t let them meet her either. She seems dangerous. I wish you a happy life, happiness that she’ll never know.”
