Bride invites wedding guests to wear white dresses as revenge on in-laws

2022-12-22

Wearing white to a wedding is a big no-no.

But sadly the crime happens frequently as one bride recently discovered.

After finding out her in-laws were wearing identical white dresses to her big day, she had to get even.

The bride explained how her mother-in-law and three sisters-in-law consider her to be the "devil incarnate".

She was hoping to put their differences aside for her wedding day, but that wasn't the case.

Taking to Reddit, the bride said: "My mother-in-law hated me from the moment we met – think evangelical Catholic meets goth atheist.

"I moved in with her son and had a baby without getting married and she truly believed I was the devil incarnate sent to draw her baby boy into the depths of hell.

"I never cared about getting married. I felt weddings were a waste of money. I'd rather have a boat or a new motorbike, but it was important to my husband, so I agreed, on the condition that it was not a church wedding."

The woman explained how her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law wanted to be a part of every aspect of the wedding planning and wouldn't stop bugging her until she agreed to take them dress shopping.

She added: "I hated the idea of a wedding dress. I hate pale colours. I hate dressing up. I hate dresses, but I'd promised my own mum and brother that we could do this together.

"So, my mum, mother-in-law, sisters-in-law, brother and his wife all traipsed along with me to marvel at the sight of me in a dress.

"The in-laws behaved and I found a dress that I didn't hate as much as the others. I paid for it and we left."

But the next morning, the bridal shop phoned how to tell her the four ordered the same dresses as her.

She went back to the store and ordered a completely different gown to not take any chances.

The bride also came up with a plan to make sure her in-laws don't steal the spotlight on her wedding day.

She decided to order a new dark purple dress with a black trim and invited all her female pals to wear their wedding dresses to her big day.

The bride explained: "I talked to my husband and he agreed, so the invitations went out and every person who had ever worn a wedding dress was invited to wear it to our wedding.

"My mother-in-law and the sisters-in-law got different invitations that specifically asked that they not wear white. Dress code was stated as 'whatever you're comfortable in'."

When it came to the big day, her in-laws entered the ceremony room in their matching white dresses, but were "completely absorbed by the rest of the crowd".

All four of them turned up in their beautiful white dresses with their make-up and hair done, then didn't stand out at all.

She revealed: "They looked exactly like everyone else, except for my mum and brother's wife, who wore purple like me.

"They weren't going to ruin my day by upstaging me. My husband, who up to that point really didn't think they would do something so vile, turned to stone that day.

"They had finally shown the depths that they would sink to and the last of the fog was swept away."

Her mother-in-law tried to pull her aside for a chat shortly after the ceremony, but her husband quickly shut her down.

While most users praised her for the plan, others shared their ideas on how to keep reminding her in-laws of their "vile" attempt to show her up on her big day.

One user said: "I'm a big fat man, and I would have worn a wedding dress if I knew the reason."

Another added: "You didn't just get your revenge, you also made all those women's day by letting them wear their wedding dresses again. Love it!"
