Recently, a 28-year-old bride posted on Reddit, confiding about the awkward situation she encountered before her wedding. The cause came from a rather unreasonable request from her brother's girlfriend.
The author of the post said that her future sister-in-law, Emma (24 years old), had just lost her mother in a tragic accident. Emma had inherited her mother's expensive wedding dress. Therefore, the 24-year-old girl asked the bride's opinion, wanting to wear this wedding dress to attend the happy day as a guest.
However, the bride felt this request was inappropriate: "I completely understand that she wants to remember her mother. But I feel that wearing a wedding dress at someone else's wedding is not the right time and place."
Although sympathetic to Emma’s loss, the 28-year-old bride refused the offer, not wanting her future sister-in-law to wear the dress at her wedding. However, the decision caused conflict in the family.
Emma was angry and criticized her boyfriend's sister for being heartless and selfish. Some family members also disagreed with the bride, and her brother even refused to attend the wedding if his sister did not change her mind.
The post sparked a wave of controversy on Reddit with tens of thousands of comments. Most people sympathized and supported the bride.
One user expressed: "I don't understand why she didn't wear the dress at her own wedding. Why would she wear it as a guest at someone else's wedding?".
Agreeing, another account said: "That's your brother's future mother-in-law, not your mother. We sympathize with Emma's sadness, but this is the bride's happy day. Your own event is not a place for Emma to use to honor her mother. I'm also disappointed with your brother's behavior."
Many people think that the bride does not need to worry about the appearance of Emma and her brother at her wedding. Focus on preparing for the happy day to have the most memorable moments and memories.
