Mother-in-Law Throws Away Bride’s Wedding Dress for Being ‘Too Revealing’

A woman reached her boiling point with her soon-to-be mother-in-law just weeks before her wedding.

In a recent Reddit post, the bride explained that her fiancé’s mother has “always been controlling,” but her recent move pushed her over the edge.

“I had my wedding dress hanging at our house (I’m getting married in 3 weeks). I came home yesterday to find it GONE,” she writes.

It was later revealed that her mother-in-law got rid of the gown because she thought it was “too revealing.”

“She said she ‘donated it’ because it was ‘disrespectful to her son’ and she ‘couldn’t let him be humiliated.’ I lost it,” she recalls.

Her 29-year-old fiancé is also “furious” and no longer on speaking terms with his mother. However, her mother-in-law doesn’t seem to understand the gravity of what she has done.

“We’re scrambling to figure out what to do. MIL is texting nonstop saying we’re ‘overreacting,'” she concludes. “I feel like I’m living in a nightmare.”

People in the comments section encouraged the couple to file a police report, as the “cost of a wedding dress might just put this theft into felony territory.”

“Call the police and file a report naming her as having confessed to the crime,” one user wrote. “Depending on the price if the dress it may be a serious charge because with theft it escalates with higher charges after I think $500,”

“Your fiancé should tell his mom that if she doesn’t get the dress back he’ll never talk to her again and she will never see her future grandchildren. Either that or she gives you cash for it,” another added. “After that you, personally, should go no contact with her indefinitely. And she absolutely CANNOT come to your wedding.”
