WOMAN STOLE THE WEDDING DRESS OF AN UNDERPRIVILEGED WOMAN, AND THE OWNER OF THE DRESS TOOK REVENGE

A woman shared a revenge story on Reddit’s r/ProRevenge subreddit. The woman explained that one of her friends had stole a wedding dress of an underprivileged woman, and that woman took revenge during the OP’s friend’s wedding.
OP stated that she is friends with Pat, for decades. During her college time, she slowly left Pat’s life, as she was thinking that Pat was an opportunist and OP didn’t trusted her. OP described her as, “She is both manipulative and forceful. Her idea of cute rubs me the wrong way. Pat likes to walk like a penguin when she wants to elicit pity, and she usually does this when she wants to evoke the underdog narrative.”
As time passed, OP saw on Facebook that Pat had sent her a friend request, and OP stated that she accepted her friend request out of politeness. She learned that her friend was a mother of five, and her children would do whatever they want, and she never says anything to them.
OP shared, “She tried to force a relationship between me and her daughters and made them call me Auntie. Pat tried to drop them at my house uninvited. Her phone calls were insistent, she tried to monopolize my time and she began to show up at my job. I created some boundaries so she tried to find loopholes. It was a nightmare.”
OP and her husband were hosting a party for their community center, where she is helping to homeless people with her husband, there were some other services the community center does too.
Some of the people in the service were helping women to get their wedding and prom dresses for free, and the location was owned by an elderly couple.
As Pat entered to their group of community service, she was constantly there. OP shared that she never liked having her at her home, as Pat and her daughter’s were behaving poorly. Her children were running around, and entering rooms that they shouldn’t enter.
As OP called Pat to talk about the annoying behaviour of herself, and her children, Pat cut OP’s words, and stated that her children would like to come again, and use their pool. But that didn’t stopped Pat, and then later she said that her daughter wanted to spend a week at their house. As OP declined her politely, she received a call from her dauhgter, as the girl said, “Auntie, mom says you invited me to spend SUMMER with you”
As the OP tried to talk with the girl, and wanted an explaination regarding the situation, the girl hung up on her.
When it came to do the public service at the community center, to wrap Christmas gifts for the homeless children, they created a pool of gifts, where there were cheap and high priced gifts, and they were mixing them together. Then some of the expensive gifts were lost, and found under Pat’s Christmas tree.
OP saw the gifts on the Facebook post of Pat’s mother-in-law. Then a terrible event happened, when OP gave her daughter, the ring of her own grandmother, when she turned 13. OP explained, “It’s not an expensive piece of jewelry, but it’s vintage and girls nowadays wanna look boho. My Granny gave it to me when I became a teenager so I passed it on to my kid so she could wear it on her birthweek.”
And at their school, the daughter of Pat, Casey, took the ring from OP’s daughter, and when she wanted her ring back, Casey called her a thief, and tried to embarras her in front of the school.
When OP learned that, she rushed towards to Pat’s house, and confronted with Casey, as she forcefully took the ring back. When Pat saw the incident, she rushed towards them, yelling. Then OP confronted with Pat too, as she pointed the engraving inside the ring, the name of her grandmother.
OP shared, “After I confronted her with the engraving on the band (my grandma’s maiden name), she argued it was loaned to her daughter by my kid. Then she said she bought it. I paid no heed. I did warn them that I knew Casey had become an abusive friend to my daughter.”
When a time came, Pat wanted to renew her wedding vows with her husband, Hank. OP shared, “Pat decided to renew her vows and her bridezilla Karenzilla attitude became the icing on the cake. For starters, she bullied another couple into giving up their wedding date at the farm because she “needed her renewal to match her exact wedding date”. They were not impressed with her harassment, so they booked another venue. As a result, the farm owners were pissed because Pat was already costing them money after she had successfully negotiated a cut in their rate “because she couldn’t afford it but will repay by doing maintenance work around the venue” (she never made good on her word).”
And Pat’s eyes were on the dress, which was made for another bride. When the head for the dress department at the community center, Lenah stated that she needs to pay for the dress, since she was not homeless, Pat acted as if nothing happened, and shipped another dress to the owner of the dress she liked.
OP shared, “She was adamant that it was the right dress, despite all the notes on Leah’s agenda. The other bride was truly gracious about it. She was obviously disappointed, but never made a scene.”
As they found out what Pat did, they were sad, for the other bride, who was the true owner of the dress. OP shared that, “We felt so bad for the other bride that we did our best to get her something nice to wear. The other bride was a true fighter, she had pulled out of welfare, earned her high school diploma and was working to get on her feet by trying to earn a certificate as an acrylic nail technician.”
Lenah kept Pat away from the warehouse, where the dressess were staying, after she stole the dress from the truthful owner of it.
As Pat spend a lot of money on other aspects of her marriage renowal, she didn’t arranged any food for the reception, so she asked from the guests to bring some from their home. OP stated that she was ashamed in her name. And she explained to others in the community center that she wasn’t attending to her wedding, as she said, “I was very uncomfortable being told what to bring and was probably expected to give them a cash gift on top of that.”
And a day before Pat’s re-wedding, Lenah called OP and stated that she will ruin the Pat’s dress, as she found it on her bag, when Pat was with Lenah on the night before. OP shared, “I naively brought in some ink to spill on the dress, but Lenah said she wanted “something more awful, like a nasty surprise”. Ink would be too obvious and if she saw it ahead, she may be able to snag another gown from somewhere. No, the ideal thing was to have her trust the dress was fine. So Lenah locked herself in a bathroom stall and completely cut out the back panel. She patiently put it back on its hanger and zipped the bag.”
As they left, Pat called OP at 7 a.m., and OP called her back on 8 a.m., while the reception was starting at 9 a.m.
OP shared, “Pat was frantic. She was crying that her dress was “missing by half”. I purposely made her explain, being annoyingly dense and continually interrupting like she does, and stalling the conversation.”
Later on their conversation, Pat asked to borrow OP’s wedding dress, but OP said no to her. Then she asked for help to get a new dress, and OP stated that it is Sunday, and the stores are closed.
As she refused to help, Pat broke down, and hung up on her to call Lenah. And OP shared, “She asked Lenah to bring her “anything she had available”. Lenah and I ended up delivering the most outdated, moss smelling, oversized dressed. Pat’s disappointment was a mix between angry and emotional. She also tried to wear her knee length silk bridal slip as a wedding dress but it was too obvious and it really looked cheap.”
Pat was looking awful with her dress. Everything in the reception was looking good, but with her dress, she was looking just awful. OP described as, “. The reception portion of the wedding had all this princely decoration, a very nice cake and a bridezilla with a dress from hell.”
The wedding became something different than a wedding, as OP stated that there were no speeches, and no dancing. As Pat was feeling uncomfortable in the dress, she changed her appearance to a leggings, flip flops and a t-shirt.
OP shared, “Everyone talked about how Pat put on her flip flops and walked around aimlessly until she ordered the ushers to start folding up the chairs within one hour of the reception. So she practically kicked everyone out and the cake was never cut.”
“Pat wasn’t the same after this.She was not as loud and avoided everyone. I think she was disappointed that nobody ran to her rescue, not even her family who came from out of town.”
