A 28-year-old man and his 28-year-old fiancée are set to get married soon, and several days ago, his fiancée went shopping to find her wedding dress.
None of her friends are close to where they live, and because of this, she brought just her sister, her mom, and her dad with her to shop.
Picking out a wedding dress is supposed to be an exciting and fun thing to do with your loved ones, but his fiancée’s family absolutely ruined the experience for her.
Instead of coming home with a dress, his fiancée came home sobbing.
“She said when they got to the bridal store her sister was looking at dresses instead of paying attention to the appointment and then their parents especially their mother started looking with her and she started trying on dresses herself and then her parents bought her sister a dress,” this man said.
How odd, right? His fiancée’s sister doesn’t have an engagement ring or a boyfriend so that just makes the whole thing extra weird.
Instead of the day being all about his fiancée, it turned into being all about her sister. His poor fiancée did not put any of the dresses on because her sister was too busy stealing the show.
To make things even more bizarre, his fiancée’s parents purchased a dress for his fiancée’s sister, and the dress cost far more than what they had budgeted for his fiancée’s dress.
This really doesn’t make any sense because his fiancée’s parents already told them they could not financially help out with the wedding (not that this couple asked) but here they are buying his fiancée’s sister an expensive wedding dress and this girl isn’t even engaged.

Hours after his fiancée arrived back home, her mom and dad phoned him up to alert him to the fact that she got “dramatic” and “emotional” while looking for her wedding dress.
He knew they did nothing to help her pick her dress or make her feel special, so in response, he told them they can’t come to their wedding anymore over how they treated her.
He also made it clear her sister was also not invited now.
This man said that under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t insert himself into family drama, but this whole situation was so infuriating to him that he had no choice but to get involved.
It has been about 7 days since this all happened, and even though his fiancée’s sister and parents continuously text and call her, she hasn’t replied. She also has not brought up extending invites again to them.
He did tell his fiancée that if she did not agree with what he did she is welcome to let her family come to the wedding now, but she hasn’t said a peep about it.
Looks like her family won’t be attending after all, and they have taken their anger out on him by sending texts and calls to him accusing him of being “controlling.”
He explained that his fiancée is a kind and selfless woman and he feels she has every right to be hurt by how her family acted while wedding dress shopping.
She works incredibly hard and is currently in the middle of her residency after having graduated from medical school.
He just wants his fiancée to have a wonderful experience at her wedding and while doing things leading up to it, like picking out her dress.
He just can’t believe how her whole family treated her, but he’s wondering if he was maybe in the wrong for being so quick to uninvite them.
