A bride-to-be is at her wits end after her fiancé’s conservative family turned her day trying on wedding dresses into a “s–t show.”
“My fiancé is from a religious family and it was important for him to get married at his family’s church. It’s not something I always wanted for myself, but his family is helping to pay for the ceremony and this means a lot to him,” the frustrated woman wrote on Reddit.
One of her future mother-in-laws demands is that she wear a “modest dress.”

Recently she went wedding dress shopping with her fiancé’s mother, sister and her maid-of-honor.
“I tried on a bunch of dresses that were ‘modest’ and I hated them. I don’t like puffy sleeves. I hate looking covered up. I look like Princess Leia if she were from Alabama, not Alderaan. This is not what I wanted,” the woman continued.
Recognizing that she was unhappy, they all tried to cheer up, but she wasn’t having it.
“My sister-in-law Peggy was the worst. She loves shows like Bridgerton. Anyone who knows me knows I can’t stand that show. She kept hyping up how my dress made me look like someone from the show. After four or five dresses, I was fed up and wanted to call it quits. But she wanted me to try on one more. I snapped at her. I told her to shut up about Bridgerton and I don’t want to hear about that show again for the rest of the day,” the bride-to-be recalled.
The group ended up just leaving after her meltdown, her future mother-in-law and Peggy were upset, but also her own mother told her that what she did “was not acceptable.”

“I’m just frustrated because it feels like everyone is hijacking the whole wedding process and I don’t even have a say about what I want. It’s like this wedding is more about what Peggy and my mother-in-law want,” she concluded her post.
The bride-to-be’s post garnered many comments, with several people urging her to reconsider marrying her fiancé.
“This is a preview of your life going forward, with your in-laws running the show. House? Gotta be close enough that they can visit. Kids? Mother-in-law knows how they need to be raised. Is that what you want?,” one person wrote.
“Pump the brakes IMMEDIATELY on wedding plans! There’s nothing wrong with taking more time” another user urged.
“It’s easier to dump a Mama’s boy than to divorce a Mama’s boy and it’s easier to divorce a Mama’s boy than to change a Mama’s boy,” a third person chimed in.
