A woman who is going to be getting married soon selected an earthy kind of theme for her wedding and the color scheme she has is very muted.
It’s trendy in her area to make sure the family of the bride and groom match their outfits to the wedding colors so everyone looks a certain way in the wedding photos.
She really wants everyone to match the colors she picked out, and she wants her special day a certain way, especially since her parents are dropping a lot of money on the wedding.
After she revealed to her mother-in-law the colors she chose, her mother-in-law clearly was not happy about it.
Then, she explained that she wanted her mother-in-law and everyone else in her groom-to-be’s family to wear outfits that match the colors, and her mother-in-law lost it.
“She accused me of not caring about her self-esteem and said my colors were ugly,” she said. “MIL likes bold colors, but she had a wedding a couple of years ago and got to do whatever she wanted. I feel this is my day.”
Following the news of the dress code, her mother-in-law then struggled to find a dress they both agreed on.
It took months, and her mother-in-law sobbed while calling her “heartless” and “vain.” In the end, she took her mother-in-law dress shopping along with her own mom and they picked something out for her.
If you think this is the end of the story and everything went alright from there, you’re wrong. When her mother-in-law got home and tried the dress on, she had a breakdown.

Her father-in-law then called her up and left a nasty voicemail accusing her of trying to destroy her mother-in-law’s self-esteem.
“He called me a fake person who doesn’t know what love is, a controlling psycho, and then he began swearing at me and saying I made his wife cry,” she continued.
Her fiancé then got involved and stuck up for her.
The day after this all went down, her father-in-law’s daughter sent her a text saying she believes she’s being awful because the colors she picked don’t compliment her mother-in-law’s skin tone.
She then attempted to call her mother-in-law and ask if that was the problem, but she wouldn’t pick up her call.
Her fiancé is backing her up and thinks his mother should suck it up and wear the dress, but it looks like his parents won’t even be at the wedding anymore over all this dress drama.
Her mother-in-law has not even RSVP’d to the wedding, and she’s wondering if she might need to give in a little on this whole situation.
“This is important to me and I’m sick of her always being a spoiled brat and getting her way, but at the same time the colors are making her really insecure and she is super vain,” she explained.
