She literally went out, bought a dress she liked, and then put it in my closet without saying anything, she wrote. I just found it one day while getting something else no conversation, no heads-up, just a dress hanging there. The dress, which she described as big and poofy, is far from what she had envisioned for herself. Its not my style at all, she added. To make matters more tense, her mother is now upset that the bride hasnt tried the dress on and has accused her of being ungrateful. Family members have also sided with the mother, urging her to try it on just to keep the peace. But the bride says its not about the dress its about being excluded from a moment shed looked forward to. She let my two older sisters have their wedding dress moments and didnt even bother to ask me what I wanted. In an update, the bride clarified that the dress was found at her childhood home, not in her own house. She also shared that she intentionally didnt ask how much it cost. The dress isnt my style at all, and Id probably be horrified to find out how much was spent on something I had no say in and dont even like, she said. This isnt really about the price tag.
